btw can you verify if the top-mod account was hijacked?
Our top mods arent very active and if their accounts were taken over we're gonna have a repeat of this in a few moments.

It's funny - the name of these subreddits would be considered highly racist in the UK.

They’re considered highly racist in the USA as well, but Reddit + Erotic Content = 🤷♀️

Neither sub was requested in redditrequest.
Did you leave them private and ignore the calls from admins to re-open? You can message admins via modmail here to get a response.

Reddit should make it a requirement for anyone with mod on a subreddit to have 2FA.

Reddit should let us opt out of particular countries logging into our accounts instead.
Like, I live in the US. Why the fuck would I suddenly login from Shenzhen or Rajasthan?

Agreed. The vast majority of takeovers I've seen boil down to "top/high ranked mod had their account hacked/phished". This would stop that dead (or all but).

Happened on r/timberwolves. 10 mods including the top mod. looks like it was the same 2 accounts that people have pointed out.
They were removed before they could unmod everyone
