The famous social bookmarking site Reddit comes with a new string of operation, banning entire websites and news organizations from its site in order to reduce as well as limit spam and abuse. The recently created /r/BannedDomains subreddit, points the following sites which have been in the banned list:
- Phys.org
- TheAtlantic.com
- BusinessWeek.com
- ScienceDaily.com
- GlobalPost.com
- TheAtlanticWire.com
- Funny-On-YouTube.com
- TheAtlanticCities.com
- Echomon.com
- MedicalXPress.com
Reddit put out a short statement on the matter, which reads as follows:
Some domains are not allowed on any part of reddit because they are spammy, malicious, or involved in cheating shenanigans. Attempting to submit a link to one of these domains will now fail with an informative error message.
