Reddit has just banned r/melbourne in the last hour or two. So far no one seems to know why.

Ok seems that it is back up now. Apparently a whole bunch of random subs got banned & are returning. Looks like something went wrong over at reddit HQ.

    This is itself a sad picture of what has happened to that site. A medium sized sub goes down and everyone's immediate expectation is that the cause is a management decision rather than a technical problemm

    The administration of Reddit has shown enough times that it's interests are not aligned with its users'.

    I was under the impression the r/Melbourne mods had attempted to show some solidarity, got out voted by their user base and had thus left the sub largely unmoderated. Perhaps a part of it?

    Apparently it was a back end glitch on reddits end and a bunch of subs were affected. Major twitter deja vu right now....
