View submission: Removing harassing subreddits
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.

From what I read of the FPH is they were upset with Imgur removing their images. So they started tracking down pictures of the Imgur staff, posting it on the subreddit (including hte header and sidebar) and tracking down and sharing of personal information.
That is absolutely harassing individuals.
