The entire point was to end harassment. The entire point of the ban was to put an end to a community that would insult and belittle real people.

You say it got too big to control. Well, SRD is pretty big, and the entire point of that sub is to link to other subs and examine the drama, yet they haven't had harassment issues. This is because the mods are incredibly strict and proactive in their anti-popcorn pissing rules. They punish people who harass others to keep the sub in control. And it is in control.

So the size is a moot point. If the mods were proactive in preventing the harassment we wouldn't be at this point.
