They did n't ban the subreddit for hate speech. They banned it because the mods organized witch hunting against imgur's staff and went so far as to post personal information in the sidebar. This started because imgur wanted to stop fatpeoplehate posts from reaching their front page.

I really don't give a shit about FPH, but I'm tired of seeing this misinformation. They didn't post personal information. They posted a picture released by imgur itself.
