Reddit asks moderators to remove NSFW labels

Reddit is forcing moderators to remove NSFW labels or else they will be removed from the position of a moderator.

As a move to register their protest against Reddit’s new API pricing, many communities have used the NSFW (Not Safe For Work) designation/label.

Reddit's new API pricing has caused chaos on the platform as many apps like Apollo and Rif which are fun for Reddit went for a shutdown.

As per The Verge, subreddits such as r/military and r/PICS that have made the switch to NSFW labels have received messages from the platform to “immediately correct” their NSFW labelling.

If the moderators fail to correct the labelling, any moderators involved in that decision will be removed. They might also be losing the ability to join future moderator teams.

Following the message from Reddit, r/PICS, r/military had dropped the NSFW designation.

Reddit is demanding immediate action as putting up NSFW means that the subreddit is not eligible for advertising which eventually affects the monetisation of the channel for Reddit.
