#redditmigration #reddit One of my friends is a mod of a very large subreddit that went private for the blackout. Last night she received a message saying that she had been stripped of her moderator rights and the subreddit was taken public again. To be very clear, the subreddit members had specifically voted in favor of going private. It seems like reddit will stoop lower and lower to try and break the blackout. I'm seething.

Any system will have scenarios like this. Requiring a majority of mods could lead to gridlock if enough mods stop being active. User vote would be prone to abuse by brigading or bots.

Seniority is the simplest: you make the sub, it's yours. The escape hatch is either Admin action or someone else making their own sub with blackjack and hookers.
