"Congratulations, you've just been promoted as the lead moderator of /r/Whatever. We're going to need you to unlock the subreddit."

"What? What happened to the other mods?"

"Don't worry about it. Just unlock the subreddit."

"Why don't you just unlock it? You're the owners, you can do whatever you want."

"We're going to need someone to moderate it when it comes back online, and we don't have the money for that kind of manpower. Please focus, I need you to unlock the subreddit and prepare for the community to come back online."

"Yeah, I'm not going to do that."

"That's unfortunate, but I can't say I'm surprised."

You've been removed as a Moderator of /r/Whatever
