What a shitshow.

Update from in the post from u/CardboardElite

Edit: Entire mod team received a 7-day suspension. I still cannot login on my account.

Edit2: Admins seem to be saying this was done to prevent subs spamming sexually explicit content. On r/MildlyInteresting we did NOT do this or intend to do this, as was clear in the update that the admins manually removed:

To be clear - this does NOT mean we are allowing pornographic, sexually explicit or illegal content. Our existing rules will still apply. We are simply embracing our proud history of user-curated lewd fruit and vegetable content. This history includes, but is not limited to, photos of oddly-shaped produce, landscape features reminiscent of genitalia, or other quirky sights that might cause one to raise an eyebrow. https://i.imgur.com/DwXEb8K.png

Edit3: The entire r/MildlyInteresting team has been unsuspended and reinstated.

ModMail from a different admin (not ModCoC) explains that we were apparently "swept up in actions" that they were taking against "communities that were encouraging sexually explicit content". Situation remains really unclear, and the fact we were a mistake does not excuse r/interestingasfuck being targeted or any of the other 5 subs.

Edit4: Please be aware that NSFW content on Reddit is opt-in. Nobody who did not manually opt-in to see "adult content" was exposed to it through r/interestingasfuck and other subs. We might have been a mistake, but that doesn't excuse the others.
