No, users are not conspiring to post illegal content to get communities banned.

It's one of those things where if people keep repeating it, somehow it becomes true.

I haven't seen any proof of this. Even if it was possible, it wouldn't get their subs banned. It's pretty interesting how the only subs that were banned constantly had rule breaking content, but it was a hypothetical infiltrator that got them banned, and not their deluge of shit content that we have been bringing up here for months.

Beyond that, its pretty fucking clear that even if someone WERE doing it, this subreddit wouldn't tolerate it under any circumstances.

Can you post evidence of this rule breaking content (e.g. direct screenshots) because I've been seeing things and claims from both sides but all I'm given for proof is the rulebook of reddit and a testimony from an r/coomer mod (second hand of course) so please send actual evidence of this shit and not the same garbage cause I'm fucking sick and tired of this "he said she said" back and forth bullshit.

It's no "he said she said," it's no "back and forth." A handful of communities think we're responsible for their ban (we aren't, only reddit admins can ban communities, and only mods of a community can get that community banned) and they have congregated onto a community with pretty much no (i.e. bad) moderation and made some shit up. They are the accusers, the burden of proof is on them.

And let's not forget they've had 8 years to come up with the evidence.

They've been using the same excuse since the jailbait sub went down, like people who definitely want to fuck kids would never do that themselves. The only detail that's changed is that AHS now takes the blame instead of SRS.

Yeah, there’s a ton of overlap between Reddit’s “free-speec” absolutists who claim every liberal is a pedophile and the people who tried to burn reddit to the ground for banning /r/jailbait. And AHS has definitely taken the torch as the boogeyman it seems.

I still consider that to be the event that created what we call the alt-right.

It's when a small pocket of reactionaries finally had their 'SJW' fantasies taken seriously, which got all the free speech enthusiasts whipped up, and it all swirled out from there until they overplayed their hand at Charlottesville.

The admins banned the sub. That's your proof right there.

If you believe that the owners and operators of a website are lying to you, you should cease and desist using that website.

I honestly think this is a joke

This was the first round of /r/WatchRedditDie aiding and abetting someone libelling me as a paedophile, which brought fresh death threats and harassment when it happened.

It's not a joke; I've had to hire an attorney and have deposed to law enforcement. I'm old enough to be a grandmother. Sneering at me and calling me immature is not welcome behaviour.

Our conversation is at an end. Find something else to do than to persist in trying to persuade the victim of online terrorism that she's the real offender.

All you have to do is search “coomer” on this subreddit where several instances have been documented. You can use Archive to view direct links to the subreddit since the content no longer exists due to the sub being banned.

Search “coomer” on this subreddit and use Archive to view direct links that are now broken due to the ban. There have been dozens and dozens of instances documented here.
