View submission: Why has R/Iama been set to private?

My guess is the Jesse Jackson AMA. It was as if all of Stormfront came out to lynch Jesse Jackson in that thread. Fucking disaster. Embarrassing for Reddit. Fucking shit-show.

For those of you questioning this... I refer you to this post[1] about how Stormfront has been actively targeting Reddit[2] for a while now, and also this article about the "Chimpire"[3] (and yes, just because the original source is Gawker does not mean that the article isn't to be trusted. Read it yourself, look up what it says, and decide for yourself.)

I doubt that. /r/amadisasters would have never existed if this was just a one off thing worth terming someone for. It happens enough and it wasn't her fault.
