Then why on earth is /r/shitredditsays still around? They have been getting in trouble for doxxing for years along with constantly brigading which apparently is another bannable offense. As someone who has been dogpiled by that sub with people attempting to doxx me for the crime of having a different opinion in /r/worldnews, I have absolutely no idea why reddit turns a blind eye.

I think the difference is, if the moderators respond to reports of doxxing by removing the offending material, the subreddit can stay, even if the members keep submitting new material. If the moderators refuse to do anything about it, or, in this case, actively encourage it, then the subreddit itself must go. That said, I've never visited SRS, so I don't know how their moderators respond to reports of doxxing.

  SRS is where you can get doxxed, and the admins turn a blind eye to their behavior on a regular basis. They'll give them the proverbial slap on the wrist and things will cool down for a while, but they're the admin's pet subreddit so they get away with everything. Brigading, vote maniuplation, doxxing, etc. The entire admin team needs to go, and almost all of the mods on the default subs as well.

I didn't mean to imply they were being fair about it. I meant to suggest that this was probably their rationale.

  It probably is their rationale, but it's just showing how reddit admins seem to be taking sides and turning a blind eye to parts of the community they agree with and banning the parts they don't. Reddit used to have vibrant discussion in most threads, everything now is either completely hostile back and forths or completely a circlejerk. Rarely any middle ground seems to exist anymore and it's a real shame.

    You're nitpicking.
