    Can anyone make their own sub reddits? Is there no moderation to remove hate filled ones like this? This is more along the type of sh!t you'd expect on places like 4chan

    If that's the worst subreddit you've come across, count yourself lucky.

    GOD BLESS REDDIT :)

    There are dickheads everywhere D. Like the poor they will always be with us. The interwebs gives them a voice that they think important. It also gives them anonymity to expel their crap and bile and it makes them appear larger than they are. The rest of us just have to remember not to buy into their lame bullshít and just ignore it, like one would the chattering of chimps.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I sometimes wish Boards.ie was more like Reddit, to be honest.

    The moderation here kills so many interesting and/or wacky threads.

    There's far, far worse on reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/beatingcripples for example?

    My personal favourite though, ONE TRUE GOD :)

    Only started using it recently so I guess I'll be seeing how deep the rabbit hole goes, I always thought reddit was a real PC site though

    I'm glad it isn't, there's a place for both. Want a site where you can create a community for photoshopping hitler's face on pornstars bodies? There's surely something like that out there. Boards is boards, and honestly, it's definitely much tighter in moderation but has many benefits for it.

    It's not even close to the worst RedTit sub. Yep it is full of shít alright, but can be interesting as far as asking questions of perceptions(unbeknownst to the regulars).

    Dunno about that. Go to any thread older than a month and half the users have "closed account" or "banned" under their handle.

    Hell yea! A thousand right on marches with homemade banners agin fascism pales into the tupenny hapenny place in impact to expose that deluded moron, when compared to an image of Herr Hitler in frillies with a feather duster up his arse pulling a train. Sign me up dammit!

    Thanks for sharing.

    I know that, at least /r/TheRedPill isn't /r/socialconservative. The only thing stopping them from having a circlejerk is that it'd be both a homosexual and premarital-sexual act. :pac:

    Or "No Homo" as they are wont to say, as are many of the MRA/PUA type sites out there. How bloody insecure do you have to be, to qualify your opinion as a bloke with "No Homo"? :D

    I think no homos kinda become more of a joke nowadays though

    I am not nearly so sure D. Yea there can be an element of that, but also more than a sniff of what's said in jest... kinda thing. It does tend to be a very common meme among many out there. Particularly American men. They seem to be really adrift, or many of them are. Not sure of their role, not sure of how they deal with life, career and women and not sure about how they deal with themselves.

    Yeah I'd love a r/CuteFemaleCorpses on boards!

    Wait. What?

    Yes anyone can make their own subreddits, no there are not many rules to Reddit and no you very likely can't get that one banned, subreddits are moderated by their own moderators who can set additional restrictions on what can and can't be posted about on each subreddit

    The ones that were banned were /r/n****rs and /r/jailbait, as well as /r/thefappening

    If you think the one you're whinging about is bad then you should check this one out http://www.reddit.com/r/greatapes

    There has been in the past, not too complimentary though.

    I wasn't looking anything up and I didn't find it, someone mentioned it in another subreddit

    First time I heard that phrase was from a group of canadian girls. they wouldn't stop saying it all night long. I was mightily confused.
