SRS is big enough to cause them bad publicity and has the reach to really cause them some strife. That's the real answer, its a cost:benefit analysis and frankly its not worth it to piss that large of a community off.
The smaller ones that are self contained get the axe though.
Its the same reason the are "quarantining" some subreddits to keep them of the default page but /r/wtf stays, despite it having some pretty awful shit posted there on the regular.
Its not fair but its the way of the world. Unfortunately the site isn't exactly inhabited y adults.
I can see some people being happy and some people pissed off about this.
And what exactly do you mean by some people?!
Edit: bad joke in bad taste, but I'll let it stand for the public record.
Way to own it. I laughed. So I'm glad you kept it. It was a bad joke in bad taste but it was masterfully done. Cheers.
Good riddance to Coontown but they still fail to answer why they refuse to ban SRS that fits to a T all the requisites to be a bannable sub.
