I was on there ages before it was deleted and it looked like they made up a reason to ban it and every other sub trying to replace it plus talk about it on popular threads.
Reddit has gone full Nazi.

The official claim from the admins was that people were posting private personal info and the mods were not able to remove it to their satisfaction.
This is debatable. Shills may have been posting private info but the mods seemed good at removing it in my opinion.

The official reason; mods did not do a good enough job removing cp links, dox, and harassment info of online accounts.
More than likely real reason; it's site wide shutdown on pizzagate. They are getting pressure from somewhere. Whether it's friends, threats, or bribes is unknown. Pizzagate is getting the gamergate "muh harassment" treatment, which will not work as well seeing as it breaks down the more you look into it and its not something silly like videogames in the crosshair.
Theory: right now there are very important people who are visiting with lots of pr companies trying to make this go away. They may be too scared to go the "muh homophobic harassment" route as in dc that could be damaging. Its seems like they are trying to frame it on alt right, but that pr spin failed and cost them an election.
I hope they do find a spin. The next step would be getting some bad people to very bad things with very vad internet tools.
