View submission: Orlando Nightclub shooting - Megathread
Look through the mod's history. A huge majority is him/her locking threads due to what they percieve as racism or 'excessive intolerance'. I get that shooing out Stormfront types is necessary, but they have clearly stepped over the line here to the point that their moderation has resulted in the curtailing of the spread of information.
A possible key fact in this case is that the shooter has apparently claimed allegiance to ISIS. To actively supress this (be it correct or otherwise) does no favours to anyone.

People like that are helping people like Trump get elected. Hilarious, I love it.

They're no different than those news agencies that were too afraid to show a picture of Muhammad.

They act like editors running a newspaper. Trying to have some sort of legal integrity in not allowing opinion to enter into large news stories.
It makes me wonder who is making them act that way? Is it just a power trip, or is there something deeper? Are some of the mods getting paid to push certain agendas or to protect certain viewpoints? There are billions spent on propaganda and lobbying all around the world, you think one of the largest subs on one of the largest sites on the planet would be outside the corruption of that money?

Look through the mod's history?
Do you mean RNews_Mod? Because that account is only *10 fucking months old*
I assume there is some back story to explain how a 10 month old account ends up being a mod here. One must assume it's an alt for a more experienced moderator.

That's what you get when extreme left retards run subreddits.
Try what everyone else is doing, migrating to /r/uncensorednews.

Im pretty sure the donald spilled over so much they just gave up.
They dont allow naming shooters or victims before it's officially out, which happened alot.
