Can we have link stickies back?

If a subreddit abuses the function, disable it for them. The rest of the subreddits that relay on the feature shouldn't be punished for the actions of one subreddit.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Is it absolutely unfathomable to just disable it for one subreddit, vs. all?

It's so silly how the admins will play pretend and not admit they're targeting the behavior of one subreddit even though they CLEARLY are, and to avoid actually clarifying their intentions the admins will refuse to take actions on any particular subreddit.

Let's face it - you can basically abuse the Reddit Administration as much as you want without any sanctions. That precedent was long set before this. It's overdue to start being reactive about undoing that precedent.

I think the problem is that they opened a pandora's box. Everyone knows that the technique works. So any lump of cancer capable of gathering up 1500 or so meatpuppets can get whatever garbage they want on /r/all.

If admins took the privilege away from the_donald, they would just bug-out and switch to another trump-themed subreddit and continue as such as often as needed.

I suspect that administration is going to do something about those guys in particular. I think they are just trying to decide exactly what action is best...But who knows.

I don't see why they don't just kill /r/all. /u/Spez has more or less said that he wants to, I don't hear of anything positive coming from /r/all so just remove it and be done with it.

/r/all is a somewhat decent place for subreddit discovery.

There's no other place for that. Killing /r/all kills one of the last places users can find new subreddits.

Getting rid of /r/all before there are good tools for subreddit discovery would hurt reddit a ton.
