They are two separate incidents... but they both directly involve unacceptable behaviour by r/Bangtan mods.

Tbh, I've had a little run in with some of the r/bts7 mods and I'm not their fave person lol but I can fully understand them doing this. They must have felt incredibly frustrated to have their everyday space torn away from them so unjustly last year, and now seeing similar shit pulled again with Discord users having their space taken away from them because of unacceptable mod behaviour, of course they can relate to that.

And if it gives them an opportunity to express their thoughts on the matter and to also draw attention to the objective fact that there is a far less toxic BTS sub available, why take offence at that?

I really hope their sub does grow. And I hope enough people are made aware of the toxic environment in r/Bangtan and make the decision to leave for the mods to have a wake up call. People can't get away with having such little regard for others when in positions of power, it's not right.

I hope the mods at r/Bangtan genuinely learn from this. Eventually shitty behaviour catches up.
