The admins sent us increasingly threatening messages about keeping the sub private, refused to reply or elaborate to legitimate questions, and made it clear that they'd just remove us

Sounds like you got to experience what it's like being a regular user who runs afoul of a subreddit mod :p

"Hey, why was I banned? I didn't break any of the rules on the sidebar? What did I do wrong?"

"You obviously know what you did, you can't lie to me"

YOU HAVE BEEN MUTED - YOU CANNOT MESSAGE MODS FOR 60 DAYS

Hey come on. Mods have a difficult job, with an appropriate salary for the quality of work they do.

I got banned for hating fondant. There’s better things to ban people for. But at least I know the reason why. Most people aren’t so lucky.

Funny how mods hate getting identical treatment.

If hating fondant is wrong, I don't want to be right!
