MODERATORS
"Ok guys, if we take the site down they can't have a blackout: It's brilliant!"
-Spez probably
They're likely changing the mod structure during the blackout. A lot of low-paid, repurposed bangladeshi click-farm mods coming in.
Reddit? Paying mods? As if.
They've gone 15 years not paying mods for their work. They're not about to start now, especially if they're concerned about costs.

Not paying mods gave them an out to not be a publisher.
If your company is the one doing the moderation, then you become responsible for what is on your website, and that means spez would have to get rid of the Nazis :(.
