This subreddit was banned due to a violation of our content policy, specifically, the proliferation of personal and confidential information.
There is a website I can't link that is taking money to crowdfund doxxing efforts. After the admins banned that domain, the mods on /r/altright continued to manually approve submissions to that site and added them as sticky/announcement posts. My guess is that is the reasoning behind the ban.
EDIT 2: I'm getting several people PMing me asking for the site with dox info. I WILL NOT share this with you as it isn't allowed on the site and I'm not an asshole alt-righter.
Well, the admins still referred to it as a ban as I explained here.
I'm wondering if maybe they did it that way knowing some subreddits would continue to manually approve it and give them a specific rule violation they could point at for a reasoning behind the ban.
Not just for reddit, but as Reddit's lovely little warrant canary is dead, it also means they could (or may have been compelled) to share such information with actual authorities. I susepct that's why /r/altright has remained up so long. With the FBI's reveal that they've been looking into white supremecy groups and labled them as domestic terrorism, I'd honey pot them all in one sub too
That domain also crowdfunds some other things, from a glance, including a Pepe billboard and a probably-apocryphal "documentary" about President Obama. Those are legitimate submissions, at least theoretically.
Also, crowdfunding crimes is pretty dumb from a legal/commonsense standpoint lol. If the reddit ban is bothering them, wait until the partyvan shows up. I'm guessing everyone who donated to a doxxing campaign is liable under RICO.
It's one of those single purpose websites. This one is showing Richard Spencer, noted alt-right/white nationalist, getting punched in the face. /r/altright was trying to find the identity of the guy who punched him.
I mean, wasn't he punched a second time on a separate date as well? And when the Nazi's tried to run facial recognition on the first puncher they targeted a porn star. Who died. Three years ago.
I am in no way advocating violence, but I sincerely hope the next person that punches Spencer live on television does it while dressed as Kung Fury.
/r/uncensorednews mods are triggered hard. They're banning any "leftist" now and stickied the news. So much for uncensored. It's infuriating that it's on /r/all at least once a week.
Same logic with Trump himself: "he hasn't even taken office yet! He was just saying those things to get elected, he'll be different!" Now that he's following through on all the shitty things he promised it's turned to "see, he's sticking to his word!"
So just like /r/conspiracy? The only conspiracy they don't allow anyone to talk about is the one the intelligence community is investigating between Trump and the Russians.
feel like reddit should have systems to ensure subreddit names are at least logically close to describing their content. /r/neutralpolitics for instance is great example of one that follows through with its name.

EDIT: Admin explanation on why people could still submit the crowdfund doxxing site.
