Well it's not every day a bunch of Devs hold the mod at ransom, typically strikes are meant as disruptions to express dissatisfaction with current affairs for a limited time and must be agreed upon by the majority with greivance aired well before any action is taken.
The wording is also quite threatening, non-negotiable, all demands must be met, no moderation of the thread. Hell throw in a request for a helicopter and some unmarked bills and you'd have a hostage situation.
