It's because of the suspicious timing.

You got it! When "reddit conspiracies" was mentioned in Congress, it forced the admins to act. They were waiting for the opportunity to ban me...I think it was coordinated.

Also, they needed to generate headlines that they acted...either remove the sub completely or just the "controversial" head mod...they opted for the latter. /r/conspiracy is honeypot 100% now.
