Yeah I mean it's a great idea, but the admins are literally removing moderators from subs that turn themselves nsfw - eg interestingasfuck is still unmoderated and locked.
I mean clearly the best choice for the mods is to comply with removing the nsfw tag but tell their communities that they are not going to be moderating nsfw posts, so please post maximum porn.
Tell Reddit with that action that they can make all the rules they want but it's not going to get the mods to actually follow them.
Problem is they’ll just remove the mods then. The rules around policing nsfw content are pretty well established, mods that don’t do it get quickly removed.
TBH I was originally surprised it didn’t happen more (booting mods ). Realistically, though, getting a 24/7/365 team in place to do modding costs money so I’m sure they’re trying to pick and choose where/when to switch from volunteer to paid help.
