It was the pictures of minors that were causing the issue. The links to those have to be removed which results in a ton of reposts.
Think of it like the mythical Hydra. When you take one link down, two more appear.

Removing the sub could make it worse. These pics will still be posted frequently to reddit. However, they'll be spread across the whole site and not to one sub with a dedicated mod team who is interested in working with the admins.

They had a sticky to not post certain celebs due to possible underageness. But I'm pretty sure it was found out that they weren't actually underage at the time the photo was taken. It was just used as a way to scare people into removing it
