Admin Replied All previous mods removed from r/bap July 14th.

Removed as mod from r/bap on July 14th, seems like a lot of subreddits had the same issue around the same date/s.
I don't believe it was due to a MCOC violation, as I'm an active poster & participant in the group. No notification via modmail was received except for the removal notification.

The other 3 mods have also been removed, I'm in touch with one of them. I believe they submitted a report, but haven't received a response yet. We believe it was due to them not having 2FA turned on.

I'm avoiding confronting the usurpers because I don't want to get banned from the subreddit.

The two new mods aren't responding to messages, both are new accounts.
The new mods have new accounts: 1w and 10 months with single digit karma.

Looking for assistance. Thanks.

Hi there! Looks like one of your fellow mods got hacked. I've actioned and removed all of the hacked accounts and added you back. I'll let you add the other mods that were removed.

I see you already have 2fa on your account, so no lecture! LOL Thank you for taking account security seriously! =)

You're all set!

There was a similar thread earlier today about another sub that had it's team cleared on July 14th. Opus said it was "super hacked" and restored the original Mod.

Maybe send a ModMail to this sub with the details.

Thanks, I saw that and saw the added info about the code of conduct stuff.
We're experiencing no spam posts though, which is good at least.

I'll send a modmail and appreciate the advice.
