> Last week, that very same Gawker unmasked one of Reddit's most unsavory trolls, posting his real identity for all to see. Allegedly, it cost Violentacrez his job. For Reddit, the stories were serious offenses: the site does not permit posting the personal information of its users (aka "doxxing"). However, Reddit's moderators took the rules a step further, attempting a site-wide ban against the Gawker network, and banning a user and even one fellow moderator who spoke out against such practices.
but not take down the private celebrity photos?
- jacquesm 12y agoWhy is everybody so upset about the celebrity photos in the first place? Far worse than that happens on reddit 24/7, and the admins do absolutely nothing to protect the victims. But if it is one of 'reddits own' the banhammer can be brought down hard enough.
- minikites 12y agoI agree, but the celebrity photos incident is famous outside of Reddit so it's a good discussion point to use as a bridge to the other reprehensible sections of Reddit to someone unfamiliar with Reddit.
