Never hung around /v/ during those years, but my guess is it there was no censorship, it was just paranoia as usual. If they really cared so much about it, they could post on /b/.

I was there and not only did the censorship was unexpected and uncalled for, it happened on /r/games at the same time also, which was very uncanny.

Not only that, the catalyst was the most innocuous GamerGate take of the entire fiasco, which was TotalBiscuit's twitlonger about it, where he categorically condemned harassment, and rather used all the hubbub to talk about actual issues in gaming journalism. Nuking that entire thread might've been one of the biggest blunder in reddit history, alongside the Boston bomber fiasco.

If you don't know, why are you posting a guess?

Because moot wasn't a censoring type, went against his nature and 4chan in general.
