I wholeheartedly agree.

They didn't ban /r/Jailbait or sexualised content of minors until Anderson Cooper's exposé on the subreddit, or until SomethingAwful and /r/ShitRedditSays threatened a press mail-bombing/defamation campaign towards Reddit. And of course they didn't ban /r/CreepShots until SRS and SA actually instigated said mail-bombing campaign (Project PANDA).

On top of this, the admins didn't ban /r/Niggers until the media shone a light on how sick and depraved that subreddit was for its derogatory views towards blacks, and even then they did it under the guise of 'vote manipulation'; a crime which a lot of the SJW subreddits (SRS and MensRights in particular) should have been banned for already...

While it's a conspiracy theory at the moment, I genuinely think SRS had something to do with the doxxing of Violentacrez (and other /r/Creepshots mods) by Gawker last year.
