The way they are acting means that they want you to bend the knee and neuter your own sub, because maybe you will without making too much of a fuss. A little birdy told them you might be able to be manipulated, so they're seeing if you can be.

If you don't, they will impose more rules and eventually their own mods, and as you fight those things, they will then ban you for good. They did it to several large subs before you, there is no reason to think they will do something different for you.

At least you're getting communication from Admins. Many subs before you did not. Please be sure to post it publicly and archive it. Don't let them rewrite history once you're gone.

I hope you continue to stand up and remain the same, and share out loud what they're doing. There are many of us who don't and won't forget.
