It just goes to show that, even if you created the sub, you’re not an owner, but just a caretaker and the powers that be can overrule your decision making. Not even Facebook does that with their communities.
Why people would continue to provide free labor for moderating is beyond me. I guess there’s a passion behind each and every sub, but still.
Did anyone think that moderating a sub meant you owned it?
If you created the sub, then there would be some assumption you can close it if you’d like.
