It is essentially the mods forcing an opinion on the validity of every post's source.

I didn't know it was the mods. I was wondering how it hadn't been banned yet for being obviously biased.

They had a big metapost a few weeks ago(?) Where they essentially said: "it's staying, we like it, get over it"

Mods, not admins. Though there's some overlap in this case.
