What it says on the tin, really. I think this is going to be an issue when they get around to the smaller communities… It’s going to suck majorly, as most people’s default will remain with reddit for community discussion like this…

    Is it possible to delete a subreddit if you were the one that created it? That would be what I would do if it were possible.

      Yes, but reddit can undo it. A little while back, /r/KotakuInAction was nuked by the head mod, who had not been an active moderator for years. He deleted all content and set the subreddit to private. However, since his actions were malicious and the rest of the mods could only watch since he was above them in the mod order, reddit admins removed him from the mod list and restored the subreddit to before the mod went crazy. This is likely the same logic they’ll use to reopen the subs, only it doesn’t work since it’s not the work of one rogue mod, but the mod team as a whole.

      Cannot delete the sub but you can nuke the posts, like r/shadowwar did. As long as it’s the act of the entire mod team and not one rogue mod, technically Reddit isn’t supposed to step in.

      Unfortunately, we know that’s not going to be the case.
