And I don't know the inner-workings of Reddit... but just from my average poster POV it really does seem like the John Brown stuff is what did us in. That's sort of the event directly traceable to the eventual ban. Out of curiosity, after a sub is quarantined, has there ever been a circumstance where it's been "un-quarantined"?
Seems like the Reddit higher-ups plan all along was to quarantine - with no intention of re-opening - and ban the sub at an advantageous time to them. If the quarantine discouraged new users, then that was just a bonus. Just a theory.
