I don't know all the details, but ~2018 the creator took the sub private, removed all the mods, then closed it. It was restored by reddit admins with a scab mod team like an hour later. I don't think it was banned or anything like that other than this from what I remember.
I don't recall it ever being banned. This is the kind of hopes to foster.
