Honestly I don't know why any mods would stay after this, and I see more of them leaving. Reddit doesn't care about you mods. It's an abusive one way relationship that they need to walk away from.

I see it backfiring already.

"Hey we host a sub that's SFW about this popular actress we like. Rule 1, don't post pictures of her boobs"

Alright let me just go fire up the spambot hive and put down $3.50 for 500,000 votes to oust this mod

"Wtf guys, I just wanted to talk about her acting, couldn't you make a new sub for her boobs?"

Hey welcome everyone I'm your new mod and here's soandso's boobs"
