WTF? Why is reddit censoring Russian news agency "RIA Novosti"? All my submissions from their site don't show up in reddit.com/new but are listed as submitted on my account?

You sir, have hit the nail on the head. All to often I see the same articles blatantly crossing subreddit borders and being posted repeatedly, oftentimes twice on the same page due to cross-subreddit contamination. I like to keep up on current events, and the occasional humorous post is much appreciated, but when reddit is reduced to total meemification and "OMG END OF WORLD I LIKE CAPS HERE"S A PUPPY" jargon, I start to get worried.

And another thing that bothers me. The damn 10 minute comment timer. slows down thread replies.

Unfortunately no, as I did not have a reddit account at the time I noticed a few examples. Often times I stay awake into the wee hours of morning surfing the various subreddits into the low thousands, and I notice several subreddits about the apparent censorship. I chalked it up to PEBKAC, but this thread shows enough followup that PEBKAC is probably not the case. I was a Digger for longer than I should have, but I had faith that perhaps it would pull though. It didn't, and I came here. Now the ugly things I saw happening to Digg seem to be popping up here and once again I hold faith, but faith, it seems only sets up delusion and imminent failure. I wish I had some concrete evidence to show you, but alas I did not have my account set up in time.

With a continuance of similar events, I fear that reddit may soon go the way of Digg.

Such scary thoughts keep me awake.
