Hey guys. Will you stop ignoring heavily upvoted comments because you don't want to answer the question? The community has clearly decided on what the most pertinent questions in this thread are but, as always, you're blatantly ignoring it because you don't have an answer. It's not helping your cause you know? We're not suddenly all going to talk about Rampart because it's the only thing you'll respond to.

How the FUCK do you go on a crusade against fat shaming when things like sexwithdogs and hittinganimals (see what really pushes MY buttons?) and beatingwomen, cutedeadgirls and hittingkids or whatever these terrible fucking subreddits are allowed to exist because they aren't explicitly harassing anybody in particular?
I'm sure most would agree that as a fundamental issue from the perspective of justice and morality... these reddits need the banning. Calling fat people fat pales in comparison BY FAR to chopping dog's heads off and showcasing the pictures on reddit.
Fuck your website
I did not give a fuck about any of this bullshit until I delved deeper.
Absolutely livid this shit is allowed to exist while a subreddit that shames fat people is a travesty of the year.
Shit, looking back at the controversy over the loli subreddit, FPH seems to be hunted down a lot more viciously than one about child cartoon pornography.

Whoa. Do you not need to add the first ~~back~~forwardslash ^^(Source)[1] anymore?
Test: r/announcements.
Edit: Huh, yes. Does it also work for usernames?
u/raldi
Edit 2: yes.
Edit 3: but it appears that the hover thing from RES doesn't work on them.
Edit 4: reports from the street are telling me that the hover thing works for them. We are working to confirm with others until we can confirm for certain as we do not wish to mislead anyone following this broadcast.
Edit 6: every time I try to write something out without the first forward slash (NOT BACKSLASH - thanks u/smikims), the editor auto-adds it for me - EDIT 7 EXCEPT RIGHT THERE, WHAT
Edit 8: /u/large_butt does not like this change. In fact, he *hates it*.
Edit 9: /u/Jakeable says they are called slashtags. It's to appeal to the younger generation.

Wait a minute, isn't that the anti-NeoGaf subreddit?

Hey, would you be able to clarify what exactly or roughly constitutes
[...] to use the subreddit as a platform to harass individuals
harassment of individuals in this context? If at all possible without naming names, etc - what action or actions triggered this response from any or all of those subs?
"Harassment" on the internet seems to have a pretty wildly fluctuating definition these days, and this is a pretty big rule that mods need to be attentive to.

And now /r/fatlogic?
I'm sorry, but how is pointing out examples of bad nutritional logic worse than the stuff that goes on at /r/rapingwomen, /r/strugglefucking, /r/coontown. Hell, even the constant berating of people and accusations of pedophilia in /r/SRS.

So basically two FPH subs and a few subs that have no activity so you can say you are "doing something."

Hi what did /r/Neofag do? I never went there, but I was under the impression that was a sub for people talking about how much they dislike NeoGaf?
Thanks

I have left reddit for Voat[1] due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.
The situation has gotten especially worse since the appointment of Ellen Pao as CEO, culminating in the seemingly unjustified firings of several valuable employees.
As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.
If you would like to do the same, install TamperMonkey[2] for Chrome, GreaseMonkey[3] for Firefox, NinjaKit[4] for Safari, Violent Monkey[5] for Opera, or AdGuard[6] for Internet Explorer (in Advanced Mode), then add this GreaseMonkey script[7].
2: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo
3: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
4: https://github.com/os0x/NinjaKit
5: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/violent-monkey/
7: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/10905-reddit-overwrite-extended
Finally, click on your username at the top right corner of reddit, click on comments, and click on the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.
After doing all of the above, you are welcome to join me on Voat[8]!

All of those subreddits kept to themselves. You *are* banning ideas. If you wanted to get rid of harassment, start with SRS and SRD: they actually target users in other subs that they disagree with.
You just banned subreddits for having unpopular opinions...
Good thing Voat.co is growing. I need a reason to bail on this dying website.

r/neofag
Why was this subreddit banned? Just because of the name? It's a subreddit that was used to mock NeoGAF (a video game forum), not peoples sexuality.
It's almost as if you never watched that episode of South Park
