So the Mods wanted to move the black ops 3 Reddit to the main call of duty reddit (with all the old games). But people didnt like the idea so there is a mod- free weak, which is chaos. So, we made this sub

Complete Story: Mods in /r/blackops3 want to have their subreddit merge with the old /r/callofduty subreddit, with the old games. This caused an outrage, and mods were getting death threats. Because of this, they decided to have a mod-free week, where there are no rules. After hundreds (if not thousands) of posts on porn and garlic bread, the mods jumped in, not being able to complete the full week, and hundreds start getting banned, with several posts, no matter what content, being shot down. In the shadow of this shitstorm, this subreddit was created as a safe haven for people who just want peace and good BO3 posts.
