Can we get a direct citation of which rules they violated while we're at it?

Sure, here are the rules as provided by /u/spez:
Rule #1: It annoyed us.
Rule #2: It annoyed our applicants.
Rule #3: It annoyed our advertisers.

Have you not been paying attention?!?
they exist solely to annoy other redditors, prevent us from improving Reddit, and generally make Reddit worse for everyone else
It can't get anymore clear than they extremely vague subjective rules. How many times does he have to say it‽‽

As Fang88, it didn't violate any rules. Existential "annoyance" was never a rule.

They constantly used to go into /r/blackladies and harass people there. This is a well-documented fact[1] on that sub, but no one at Reddit cared until the Huffington Post made an article about coontown. Stop depending that piece of shit sub and everyone inside it. They broke Reddit rules, and more importantly, spread ideas that create violence and perpetrate racism in the real world.
Ideas can be very dangerous, and ideas that hurt people of an already disenfranchised race are even more dangerous. Dylan Rooff was inspired by online forums, and he killed nine black people out of hate. How long would it have taken for someone from coontown to do the same because of the platform Reddit provided them? Is it really worth preserving "free speech" on a private website if it causes people in the *real world* to die?
Downvoted for saying that peoples lives are more valuable than hate speech on a private website. Nice.
