Thousands of subreddits chose to go dark in an ongoing protest over the company's plan to start charging certain third-party developers to access the site’s data.

And frankly, reddit shielded the_donald when they were openly breaking the rules about vote manipulation in such a huge way that they dominated /r/all.
The_donald had pretty heinous mods.
Some pretty heinous members too as I recall.
Seems to me a simple fix for that would be, he more the mods abuse the ban hammer, the shorter he bans are. Problem solves itself.
Yeah I mean it was pretty much the whole community but the mods existed to shield their worst members.
