AFAIK it is literally impossible to ban 150,000 users from your reddit viewing experience or whatever. The issue wasn't with the subreddit, it's with what it was doing outside the subreddit.

The reddit admins failed to consider the Streisand effect: they made all of reddit an outlet by taking away the container that kept the hate isolated.

  It wasn't isolated. It showed up on the front page of /r/all frequently. This will die down/blow over in a week or so anyway.

    And now the hate is unconfined. The lesser nuclear solution to that problem would be to filter out undesirable content from /r/all to isolate it.

That's a request that was made recently to OAPI. Um. We might be working on that.
