Following the ban of r/niggers, the subreddit r/Coontown grew to become the most popular "Chimpire" site, with over 15,000 members at its peak. Reddit general manager Erik Martin noted that the subforum was given multiple chances to comply with site rules, noting that "users can tell from the amount of warnings we extended to a subreddit as clearly awful as r/niggers that we go into the decision to ban subreddits with a lot of scrutiny". In June 2013, the subreddit r/niggers was banned from Reddit for engaging in vote manipulation, incitements of violence and using racist content to disrupt other communities. The term "Chimpire" refers to a collection of subreddits and affiliated websites that promoted anti-black racism, including frequent use of racial slurs. The community of the subreddit later migrated to an instance of Lemmy, a Reddit alternative.
The community had 160,000 regulars before being banned on June 29, 2020, because they "consistently host rule-breaking content and their mods have demonstrated no intention of reining in their community." Previously, the community had been quarantined for content that promotes violence. R/ChapoTrapHouse was a subreddit dedicated to the leftist podcast Chapo Trap House which is associated with the term dirtbag left. The subreddit was banned in 2019, after violating Reddit's content policy with respect to bullying and harassment.
The subreddit's leaders decided to ban individuals advocating for murder. R/Braincels was the most popular subreddit for incels, or "involuntary celibates", after r/Incels was banned, gaining 16,900 followers by April 2018. Following the ban, the community's founder rebooted the subreddit under the name r/beatingwomen2 in an attempt to circumvent the ban, but was banned afterwards. The community, which featured graphic depictions of violence against women, was banned after its moderators were found to be sharing users' personal information online, and collaborating to protect one another from sitewide bans. On June 9, 2014, a subreddit called r/beatingwomen was closed by Reddit. Some subreddits are banned after unsuccessful appeals. Since 2018, subreddits are allowed to appeal their quarantine. In addition, quarantined subreddits don’t generate revenue, don’t appear in non-subscription based feeds such as r/all, and their user count is not visible. Visiting or joining a quarantined subreddit requires bypassing a warning prompt.
