Mods made a poll to ask whether to extend the blackout or re-open. After accusations of brigading, mods created a second, more secure poll. The option to extend the blackout wins by a 18% margin. However, the top mod changes his mind, unilaterally decides that the sub should open, and threatens the rest of the mods with contacting the admins to reopen and depose them if they follow through the results of the vote.

I admit that 18% is a small margin, but even so, this somehow just doesn't sit well with me.

18% is a huge margin when it comes to a yes or no question. The last US presidential election to have such a margin was Reagan's 2nd term almost 40 years ago, which was seen as a complete blow out.

Edit: Especially since another 5% votes to keep restricted, which is a 2nd option of not returning to business as normal. So I'd say it was more like a 23% margin, which is enormous.

Translation: top mod sees their opportunity to be a dictator and takes it.
