Reddit BAN 2nd Wave - October 2018

[BallzDeep9]

Reddit this past week, combed through over 30 "kratom" related subs, and banned MOST of them a few days ago. There were many, many, kratom sub-reddits created over the past couple of years.. Usually in effort to be independent from r/kratom which has become censored and irrelevant. Banned subs include the long running r/ Kratom411 which had over 2000 subscribers.

Others of note were Kratom Unlocked, and KratomVendors which ran pretty much un-moderated, full of vendor ads and spam, for the past 6 months after the original BAN in March. Survivors besides r/ kratom and r/ kratomm - include KratomKorner and Kratom Info Exchange.

r/KratomKorner - OK
r/Kratom_Info_Exchange - OK
r/Kratom411 - BAN 102518
r/Kratom_Vendors - BAN March 2018
r/Kratom_Vendor_Review - BAN 102518
r/kratomvendors - BAN 102518
r/Kratomreviews - BAN 102518
r/KratomSources - BAN 100118
r/Kratom_Reviews - BAN 102518

I just created an account here because I feel like reddit is just garbage these days. Just an aka message board anymore.

Welcome, KurtisCards. Yeah, it's not what it used to be, that's for damn sure. It broke my heart when I had to go back and remove some 300 review posts from the DoubleM sub back in March when Reddit admin came down on the kratom subs.

On the other hand, that whole drama is what convinced u/e_poison to create this site, so it worked out well in the end. At least here there's no one to kick us out without notice or warning.

Yet r/kratom lives on, promoting using chemicals for extracts, "who has the most euphoric strains?", "is it safe to take (fill in the blank) with kratom?", "can I take kratom when I'm pregnant?", and all kinds of other bullshit that would make me cringe when I saw it. I can only think it's because of the ad revenue.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I was using an old post on kratom unlocked to link to that credit.com page that shows you delete posts. I liked that link too cuz it showed the most recent removals in order. Every time I try and go to the Ceddit site without that link it shows stuff from years to months ago. That link was just the easiest one I found so far.

Don't forget, "How bad are Kratom withdrawals?" It seems lately there have been a bunch of those, too.

And "I'm new to kratom, what do I need to know?" It's just no fun anymore. The Reddit is mostly for newbies.

[Madison808]

YES THIS! I was noticing the same thing about it being all newbies. It got flooded with even more new user posts after leaf of faith came out I think. Another popular post there is...”I know this has been asked before but.....”

Funny how 6 months after Reddit supposedly "banned" vendor ads .. the WORST high price ripoff is spamming away! All over Reddit! No Problem!!

Coastline Kratom - Take a look at all the subs he's spamming:

And, because we can't mention vendors at all on Reddit ourselves, we can't out him on the sub like we did here. $750 kilos? Pfffft.
