A user on tildes describes how to go scorched earth for mods:
- Turn off all spam filtering
- Disable minimum karma requirements
- Allow all posts, disable all rules
- Unban all banned users
- Purge all allowed submitters
- Turn off AutoModerator, Scrub all configs
- Delete all CSS and uploaded images/maps
- Blank all sidebars, Delete all flairs
- Allow NSFW content, Enable sub's content on /all
- Set the sub's color scheme on mobile to something vomit-inducing
- Blank all of the text options such as the sub's topic listing
- Grab a copy of anything in the wikis worth saving
- Disable and permanently remove all third party mod tools and bots
- Invite all users to the moderation team with full comment/submission privs
- GDPR request for their own account data and then
- Use it to delete their accounts and all of their content
The options in bold, they have no defense for. That's where the pressure points lie. The rest they can cope with, but not those options, not if lots of subs and users go that route.
