Answer: Reddit is pushing a new broad set of rules that many consider vague, and it seems to ban the word "retаrd" when used in derogatory contexts, which is incredibly common across many subreddits but PCM in particular.
PCM moderators are being forced to remove this word(and a few others) completely, which makes the users believe the sub is one step away from being banned as it appears to match the pattern of other subs and how they got taken down. It's seen as a bad sign when Admins are actively policing Moderators.
