The misapplication was egregious, or at least such an exaggeration in the context used as to be laughable... or should taco bell rename their menu with the Burrito Transcental...
Look, the slippery slope refers to taking a step or steps that quickly escalate.
I don't know how many different ways I can reword my explanation... Reddit became popular based on its open platform concept, there was no slope, and if anything you can call it a trough. You have very delicate sensibilities, and you want to control people and decide who can and can't speak, you've made that clear. I wouldn't agree with it, but I could understand it if there were people you had to drive by on your way to work blocking the streets, or standing in front of a Subway restaurant and you're just trying to get a sandwich... but again we are talking about subreddits that you probably didn't even know EXISTED until someone informed you to go be outraged by it.Do you honestly not think that words have nothing to do with this process? Words have everything to do with this process if you didn't know.

The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered. Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.
What is reddit?
Uhhhh.... Reddit is basically all-encompassing of the internet in general, and the users have hugely varying interests (hence the thousands of subs).Reddit: You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Oops, sorry, retraction... I just saw this top ranked on Reddit: http://i.imgur.com/vryYIba.jpg
Yup, if that's not a Sieg Heil salute, I don't know what is. Arentol is right, all nazis.

So, now that's she's gone, is Reddit magically going to become the important and valuable resource that all those furiously outraged users imagine it to be, rather than yet another cesspit of random internet twats?
No. No, it isn't.

Good. I hope they get some of those banned subs back again.
I didn't even know "fatpeoplehate" or whatever it was called even existed, but I care because of the principle of the thing... to the point I'd consider wearing a "No Fat Chicks" shirt just as a celebration of free speech!Since most of them were just full of bullshit and hate speech, I don't really care if they come back or not.
Hate speech = anything you say that I disagree.
Leftists are cute.
Huh?I couldn't be paid enough to be the CEO of Reddit. While some areas are very good, a lot of that community is very toxic. It's not 4chan bad but things can get ugly quick if the users go on some form of entitled trip.

404 - Cesspool not found
It's one thing to point out bad behavior, but don't ignore the larger purpose or usage of the site. Reddit is mostly useful.
Why the fuck does a glorified message board need a CEO and Excecutives?
These are the largest subreddits; which specifically is a cesspool:It might have its uses but its still the worlds largest cesspool...
Huh?
As CEO, the whole point is that the community doesn't WANT you to try to be moderator and micromanage the communities. There are subreddit moderators and they handle all the day to day task of policing the forums, so there's almost nothing for you to do in that regard as long as you're not getting legal notices.
IMO, nothing could be simpler than to be the CEO of Reddit, which almost runs on autopilot. All you really have to do is ensure you have a team in place that can:
1) Keep the servers up and running
2) Respond to legal issues
3) Handle monetization balancing corporate greed with what the community will tolerate
4) Assign and police admins that coordinate and communicate with the volunteer moderators
That's pretty much it, and as far as CEOs for major companies goes, that has to be the least stressful and technically challenging job I can think of. In fact, I think its one of the few CEO positions I'd consider myself qualified for.
Yes, I'm the CEO NO-U-DI-INT Neck Brace Inc., keeping ratchets safe from sustaining injuries during arguments.You make some points but then comes the question, are you the CEO or ANYTHING?

I have a feeling a lot of people are defining cesspool as any group that champions free speech over thought policing.
Have you ever visited Topix? #MindBlownThat has nothing to do with it still being the largest cesspool on the planet.
I listed the most popular by size, and yes there are unpopular reddits for racists like /r/blackpower... so what? I don't go in that reddit. You probably didn't even know it existed. Who cares if its a sub that will never hit frontpage and happens to be on the same server as everything else? Would it make a difference if it were hosted by itself on www.blackpower.org? Its on the internet either way. And wait a second, your'e the one whining that its a cesspool, what do you mean keep crying about it?That has nothing to do with it still being the largest cesspool on the planet. That's by design having a free to post by any sub human racist pig of a low life scumbag forum like that. And way to leave all the other sub categories out. It is what it is. Keep crying about it.

My point is obvious, you say its the largest cesspool, yet all of the largest most popular subs that make up pretty much the entirety of the FP and reddit as a whole for that matter are as mainstream as mainstream gets. That makes it pretty obvious you just have your panties in a twist that people don't agree with you on thought policing and heavily censoring the internet.
So you admit that the overwhelming majority are just mainstream subreddits with mainstream users trading cat pics on imgr and what not, but by virtue of it being large its a cesspool... By that logic North America is a cesspool.Nope....by its sheer size its the largest cesspool out there.
You post a lot for someone that doesn't care, huh? Heh!Don't care about it either way since I've only visited that place through forum links for a topic I'm interested in.
You realize that people like you and Ellen Pao are what got the site essentially shut down, caused a large exodus (at least temporarily), a big online petition, that ended in the CEO getting fired right? Hit a nerve? Isn't it obvious I'm getting a kick out of pointing out how your opinions are unpopular and unsubstantiated? Pat yourself on the back though if it makes you feel better.It became quite obvious what kind of site it was after a few minutes reading uncensored posts. Lets hope they can continue to clean up the hate and racist sub forums there. Maybe they can turn it into a more legitimate site after removing the scumbags. Must have hit a nerve I did...
