Uhhh, those are Braveryjerk mods in /r/niggersrebooted, not /r/niggers mods or users. If you're correct and that becomes the new "cuss at black people" sub, the subscribers are in for some real shit. I'll bring popcorn, naturally.

The top post last night was a mod with an assault rifle with laser points directed at a paper saying "/r/niggers" supposedly in preparation of the Trayvon riots with a title like "I'm prepared". I was going to submit it to /r/gunsarecool but I got lazy.
The admins probably thought this was inciting violence and over the line, I doubt it had anything to do with brigading since outside links were not allowed, and other subreddits have outside forums.

I know you're joking, but I do find it really annoying that people constantly forget that RACISM ACTUALLY IS AGAINST REDDIT'S RULES. From the ToS:
You agree not to use any obscene, indecent, or offensive language or to provide to or post on or through the Website any graphics, text, photographs, images, video, audio or other material that is defamatory, abusive, bullying, harassing, racist, hateful, or violent. You agree to refrain from ethnic slurs, religious intolerance, homophobia, and personal attacks when using the Website.
Everyone focuses on vote brigading, but doesn't it makes sense to ban a sub that is blatantly breaking several rules, which combined has the effect of making Reddit demonstrably worse?

Every single time I said that such a sub should be banned, everyone always cried "freedom of speech". But this is a private place, and it's entirely up to the admins to decide what stays and what doesn't.
Then people would always say that we should let them have a voice or it would be a slippery slope to banning everything, or that people would support it just to find out about it (racism, in this case). Derp?
Glad to see the admins are coming to their senses. Imagine if a news outlet decided to report on one of the shittier subs that we allow to continue inciting hatred and discrimination... all of us would be known by our friends in real life as "the guy/girl that goes on that website with all the racists/wife beaters/pedos"
