I don't believe reddit banned any subreddits. Did they?



Reddit banned /r/pizzagate 12 days ago for permitting doxing:

I'm not aware of any other recent significant bans, so I don't know what user samstave means by ``They were like "Oh! BAM" A ban on /r/this and that.''


This is actually quite a significant in my understanding.

> [...] for permitting doxing

Given how much DNC/HRC was promoted on Reddit, I do not accept that reason without second thought. Some basic "education by moderation" would have taught the sub not to dox while enjoying the conspiracy digging. For more info no that Pizzagate is about, see /r/conspiracy.


It was word play... no talk of politics and all that. Maybe you missed the jest in my post
