Take a lesson from what happened to Reddit, and ditch the Jailbait sub, there's 0 need, 0 point, it's a bad thing waiting to happen. The sub was started by aa ass as a troll just to show folks how outrageous he could be, and what he could get away with.
Voat can be the site that got rid of it early on, and Reddit can be the site that kept it up for years, even after it was killing it as a business.
Let Reddit have the version of SRS that uses mod features given to them by Reddit to fuck with others, let Voat have the version of SRS where debate is open and free, and no one can use mod features to ban, tag with insulting flair, fuck with users using the sub-site and site-wide.
Reddit wants to be Facebook with a great comment system, but moderators to fuck with select commentors. It's not going to be successful over the long term. Sites like Reddit and Voat have to be geared towards the commentors, not the moderators or those in charge of the subsites, because it's mostly the comment sections that people are interested in.

We can't do this. You ban one sub, you end up banning another, and another, and another. Pretty soon you'll be exactly what you ran away from. Sadly, it's two way street.

Ridiculous argument. Would you argue the same for babyrape too?
