We toggled to 18+ and sort of let nature take its course by only enforcing TOS. I say "we" but in reality I was the only active mod on either sub, so I do feel bad for getting awkwardtheturtle banned by association (lol). After the fact got the "It’s not ok to show people NSFW content when they don’t want to see it.

Mods should not make malicious changes to their communities, such as allowing rule-violating behavior or encouraging the submission of sexually explicit (18+) content in previously safe-for-work spaces."

This is my first post, also fuck Spez

Is there actually a particular rule against turning SFW subs into NSFW subs?

Or is Reddit just desperately trying to interpret their rules in whatever way they desire because they're panicking at losing revenue?

Reddit's own guidance on the topic says the presence of profanity could cause a post or a sub to be NSFW.

A moderator toggling their sub NSFW due to the presence of profanity would be fully in line with their own guidance, and I'm pretty sure r/shittylifeprotips had a little profanity. (Hint: it's in the name.)
