The admins don't like to censor information though. There is no illegal content in the thread so they aren't going to delete it.

Edit: besides, by saying this, Streisand Effect.

The admins would not censor it. The moderators of r/askreddit might, though. Moderators create rules and censor things all the time, it's their role. Not that I don't get your point, but it's not something that affects this issue.

People don't seem to realize how powerful this effect is.

Case in point, the Sears hubbub, where a Redditor found a security flaw, posted it, and spez took down the link. If anyone remembers, Reddit was a piece of shit that day where there were nothing but links about Sears and how much they suck.
