I really don’t understand how that threat makes someone want to play ball and open it back up. Wasn’t the point to hurt Reddit? Wouldn’t a mod team departure cause a bit of a ruckus? Seems extra silly to protest and then back down when your mod rights are at risk…

Mods don't wanna lose the "power" they have. Makes them feel important. In other words, they're cowards.

Ya, if anything the "protests" were just another power trip for them
