Statement from the moderators of /r/gifs regarding "AMAgedon"

For those who don't know what is going on, I suggest reading the breakdown at https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/3bxduw/why_was_riama_along_with_a_number_of_other_large/.After discussing it with the other mods, we will not be going private, or restriction submissions.While we support the decisions that moderators have taken in the best interest of their subreddits, we feel that providing a consistent and open platform for users to continue using the site is paramount. You, our subscribers and content generators, are what make reddit a place to come back to every day. The matters between moderators and admins, no matter the severity, will not be used as a platform to hinder the user experience inside /r/gifs.
