Thanks /u/The_White_Baron, I didn't think to originally. Good call. edit 2: I only posted this because at the time (about ten minutes after original post) they didn't have the link to the list on the post. Feel free to ignore as this is no longer relevant. edit 3: I should point out that the 150k+ number is a claim from another user. I took his word, but I didn't ever visit the sub myself and therefore have no reliable way of telling you the real number they had. edit 4: added fatpersonhate edit 5: removed fatpersonhate. It was already banned. edit 6: I'm no longer going to edit this comment with updates on the subsequent subreddit bans. Anyone who wants to raise awareness on more bans should feel free to comment on their own. Have a great day everyone! permalink [–] oodni 602 points 13 hours ago Went to click on neofag to see what it was about. 404'd then doh'd. Ofcourse it wont work.

With this new decision, the backlash will be in the form of a vehement spillover into the subreddits that were once able to defend against trolling. Reddit cannot quantify how strong the retaliation issue will become and the man-hours needed to resolve those issues. I mentioned this in response to another comment on this thread, and your infographic paints the picture very well. permalink parent load more comments (38 replies) load more comments (35 replies) [–] henkile 359 points 10 hours ago What happend to this? "Reddit's general manager Erik Martin noted that 'having to stomach occasional troll reddits like /r/picsofdeadkids or morally questionable reddits like /r/jailbait are part of the price of free speech on a site like this,' and that it is not Reddit's place to censor its users" permalink [–] dakta 105 points 9 hours ago Erik has moved on from Reddit. permalink parent load more comments (1 reply) load more comments (8 replies) [–] sumoisnotfat18 925 points 7 hours ago /r/skinnypeoplehate isn't banned.

Can we ban /r/losangeleskings? Their Stanley Cups are triggering all of us at /r/SanJoseSharks permalink parent load more comments (4 replies) load more comments (14 replies) [–] SilvanestitheErudite 4993 points 15 hours ago x2 Is there going to be transparency as to how subreddits are determined to be harrasing? permalink [–] 80lbsdown 2351 points 14 hours ago* There is a subreddit called /r/SlutJustice that just links to various /r/relationships posts and encourages brigading of users they decide are "slutty." I'm all for stopping harassment, but let's not pretend that /r/fatpeoplehate is the worst of reddit. Edit: Here is a link to a thread where a woman attempts to defend herself after her post gets brigaded by people declaring her a slut. permalink parent load more comments (143 replies) [–] Herp_McDerp 4487 points 14 hours ago x2 Whichever group is the loudest will get their way permalink parent [–] WEIGHED 3536 points 13 hours ago x2 Too bad the girls over in /r/CuteFemaleCorpses can't shout as loud as fat people... permalink parent [–] beard_the_fuck_up 2433 points 12 hours ago* /r/CuteFemaleCorpses or literally any of the subreddits in their sidebar. /r/sexyabortions /r/watchpeopledie /r/Deformed /r/rapingwomen /r/killingwomen (fantasy) /r/beatingwomen2 /r/picsofdeadkids /r/ladybonersgonegory /r/HurtingAnimals /r/BurningKids /r/HurtKids /r/killingboys new! Edit: not my personal opinions, just the sidebar of /r/CuteFemaleCorpses. WPD is a subreddit I have been to before. It does not harass anyone. Edit 2: Again, i'm not saying these should be banned. What I'm saying is the admins of reddit think making fun of fat people (or at least being satirical about it) is worse than raping dead corpses, killing women, burning kids, hurting animals, and watching people die.
