​PSA: The Reddit reporting system was abused to try to silence a post today. Why not check it out?

The Reddit reporting system is sometimes abused to try to have posts removed about controversial subjects or, we believe, to remove items that may negatively impact search results or company reputation for some companies. That is not an appropriate use of the system and it amounts to no less than an attempt to censor using information warfare. Unfortunately the lessons of “The Streisand Effect” have apparently been lost to time.

This particular post was 3 years old. Today it was reported approximately 105 times (and counting). All that I can see were made at 8:55AM.

The post itself is about someone asking if DotCom Magazine is a good investment. It got 2 upvotes and 30 comments.

Why not take a look?
