View submission: Why has R/Iama been set to private?

Can't say it's not tempting. But it's their website, how long do you think it would take them to demod us all and hand it to someone else?

Clearly we need to unionize.

What is that *someone else* going to do, start learning how to deal with iamas when even seasoned mods find it ovewhelming without Victoria?

Even if they take away the sub, the protest will still be a success.

EDIT: Not to mention the stressful situation any new mod would be facing in the community. This is reddit after all, we do like our witch hunts.

True, but the more stuff like this that they do, the more people leave. The biggest problem is that many of the celebrities won't care about such a change. However, the entire point of the AMAs is that it's a bit more candid approach than the typical interview and if that changes, the fans will quit caring and the other media that covers it will as well.

So even if they strongarm in without saying something, it could still be a win for you. However, such an action does mean potentially losing the AMAs that you clearly care about, and I know that you don't want that.
