Because of the ban on groups which actively harass others? Or is there another reason?
Well, she's a woman, which alone is enough to catch a lot of heat on Reddit.
Reddit is a "microblogging company"?

"Reddit is a large Internet forum with thousands of different communities."
It's short, points out the scale, and would be at least modestly comprehensible to the bottom 85% of people when it comes to technology understanding. They mostly know what a forum is, and they know what a community is, and they know what the Internet is.
"Pao, who has said she would appeal, has offered to drop her case for $2.7 million, Kleiner Perkins said in a court filing earlier this month."

righteousness == $2.7M ?
That is just the opposite of what I tried to say. I am not a native speaker, so I might have been misunderstood ...?? Some things just go beyond figures ...

So by that logic: by virtue of seeking redress you're only out for some cold hard cash. And what easier reason is there to decide to not believe a person's claims?

I'm not sure that's accurate. I rarely see women get "heat" on reddit but once someone identifies as a women they seem to get far more comments, many even sexual. I'd say women get hit on versus catching heat.

I think its because of the censoring of stuff which is critical of her and her husband and less about the banning of fat hate subs - See: https://twitter.com/arrington/status/609065906900066304 It especially does not help the fact that her husband was at the helm of a massive scheme that defrauded untold amounts of public workers in regards to their pension https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Fletcher http://nypost.c…
Yeah, so, SHE did not censor those posts. Nor did admins. Sub moderators did. I mean, it even says that in the news articles you posted. And who hates a woman because of something her husband did? That is just gross, medieval thinking.

Sources? That all sounds interesting.
The fudging of /r/all is from what I saw, the troll posts disappeared from the front page after about 4 hours but they were all there if you checked /r/all/top. After a few hours, they were all contained in /r/all/rising, every day they're still there. I actually didn't even know subreddits had been banned until I missed a touch on my phone and instead of hitting the reddit front page I hit /r/all on my phone, these…
Did they rig things? That would make sense.
Frankly it's fine with me. I was worried I'd have to stay off Reddit for a few days until the juvenile hate-mongering died down. I've had to do it before.
I'm with the GP. Every time one of these things happen I get more and more uneasy about Reddit. This, the jailbait thing, Boston Bomber witch hunt. Every time 'the community' speaks up I end up disgusted and a little sick.
Most of the subs I'm in are too small for this garbage, so it often passes me by, thankfully. But then some event reminds me of the putrid filth just out of sight.

I've seen 8chan and after that I do not yearn for a fully open Internet.
No one is forcing you go to (\d)chan. Hate speech is an easy target. But the censoring and anticompetitive practices have spread further than that. Google, Apple, Facebook, can change their ToS to bring down potential competitors. They can remove your app for any reason, block access to their APIs, and ban you for posting content that leads to your own external page. It's happened plenty, and Reddit is no exception.…
Makes it REALLY HARD to support anonymity online, as it often seems like more people get horribly harassed or SWATed than we get benefits from anonymous whistleblowers and such.

There've been some rather high-profile shadowbans (hellban/otherwise you're banned but don't know it) issued against people who did apparently did nothing but publicly state that Pao is a scam artist. Given that those comments don't actually violate any of Reddit's stated rules, there aren't many other reasonable explanations. Then again, I called every single one of them liars, publicly, by name, after the recent su…
I would love to see these claims, please stop spreading FUD and show real evidence.
