I orignally posted this to /r/Blackout2015 , /r/subredditcancer and /r/KotakuInAction (although it was meant for the_donald). Anyway, here it is:
Well...I'm sure many of you know /r/shitredditsays to be a dark place. But there are many who don't know the horrifying shit that sub does (The admins know it, but ignore it, calling over /u/krispykrackers and /u/sporkicide, admins who defended that sub, to come over and read this post. )
Let's get started, shall we?
(I don't even know how to begin this :/ )
RECENT DOXXINGS
As we all know CMW, former mod of the_donald deleted his account, following which one(or several, not entirely sure) srs users came out and said that they were responsible for 'taking him down'. However, it didn't stop there. The 'Fempire Action Squad'(that's what the SRS and it's affiliates call themselves) released this, an apparent message that openly stated that doxxing lead to the removal of CWM's account AND that they were going to start taking over 'hate' subreddits(they consider us one). /r/fittofat has already been taken over. Here's proof of them getting CWM to delete his account.
Well that's just the recent stuff. A few years back , srs doxxed several prominent gamergaters/people who supported the movement. Here's proof. They even did this to OUR MILO. SRS is also prominent(actually not prominent, admins decided that hating fat people was more of a crime than doxxing) for doxxing and sending harassing emails to mods of r/antisrs. Here's just one example of the types of email they received. As of last year, I think there have been four antisrs mods who have been doxxed. Next, I'm sure you all know of the VA controversy, and how SRS members doxxed, him, giving his info to some Gawker 'journalist'(I don't think that people who write for Buzzfeed and Gawker have a right to be considered as journalists). Well, it was good to see reddit atleast do something in retaliation(Yishan called for a sitewide ban on gawker links). But never the less, SRS remained, only to continue with their doxxing. Who knows who's next? Maybe me. Maybe you. Eitherway, the admins don't give a rat's ass.
(Much of my references for this 'SRS and doxxing' section was from a brilliant KIA post posted a couple of days back. If i link it out here, the post gets deleted, so if you want a link, pm me, or it's just on the front page of KIA rn).
ADMIN DOUBLE STANDARDS
As many of us have noticed, SRS have kept their 'give gold' option off(css tweaks). There was a post on r/blackout2015, asking for mods of all subs to tweeak their css, to hide the 'give gold' feature. Some guy pointed out that this would go against Reddit's TOS. An admin came and CONFIRMED THIS (While srs remains unbanned for breaking a rule). Just so you know, that feature is still kept 'off'. Here's proof.
I've heard that FPH was banned for apparently doxxing imgur mods. So srs not getting banned for their doxxing is another double standard.
BRIGADING
Well they're not new to this. They banned submitting np links because they found it 'annoying' and 'pointless'. Just yesterday my shitpost regarding SRS went from 3100 to 2920 and it's currently sitting on 2997 points. That might seem a bit of a coincidence? After all centipedes can definitely love SRS as well. Well then, here's more proof. That comment went from 20 to -2 points. Here's more. There was also that time when an SRS user got banned from r/jokes, only to get his/her massive army to downvote brigade the sub. And again, let us remember that the creator of SRS has said that SRS deserves to be banned.
MORE STUFF
SRS users pushed a man to commit suicide. This was later proven to be a hoax, however the comments by the users with the words of encouragements still exist as of today.
Phew...that was long. If you have more stuff, tell me and I'll keep adding it. Pinging /u/spez as I've heard that you support not banning r/shitredditsays. As the KIA post pointed out, When will something be done about this community that exists solely to annoy other Redditors and generally make Reddit worse for everyone else?
EDIT 1:
This post(I posted this to r/subredditcancer too) has found it's way onto SRS
time for some rebuttals, I'll go through each and every comment:
/u/Jodthyrox2 says:
Subredditcancer proudly presents "Exposing SRS", a lovely effort post about the evil stuff SRS does!
Bonus: more than 60 comments full of salty redditor tearz.
Well if being genuinely afraid of a mob of savages is considered 'redditor tearz', sure, I cry 'redditor tears' I guess

HAHAHAHA
Like reddit doesn't do that itself
What's your point? Reddit 'annoys' itself? Or the fact that Reddit exsits triggers you to the core until you want to wipe out every Redditor on Earth.
/u/likeicareaboutkarma says:
I just came from that subreddit. The whole message, website and even the e-mail address don't make any sense.
Why would something like that be placed on a remotely unknown Chinese website. Instead of like the fempire headquarter. Some people really have way too much imagination.
"doesn't make any sense"- Only your trigger warning micro aggression safe space bullshits make sense, right? And Fuckin' remotely used chinese website? You Tumblr too much. It's called pastebin, the number 1 paste tool since 2002- oh hold on! You major in gender studies, not computer science. I shouldn't expect you to know pastebin!
/u/laiki says:
Is there anything in that main post which is true at all? Most of it seems to concern doxxing by people other than SRS, so I don't understand the leap of logic to blame SRS for it.
Also, those posts he linked of people taking responsibility for doxxing etc. read just like your garden variety false-flag 4chan stuff, I really doubt anyone even remotely affiliated with SRS did those things. Most likely it's some group of trolls that happened to dislike /pol/ or gamergate or whatever and adopted some SRS-esque language.
Really? So now everytime your community doxxes others you'll say that 'we didn't do it' ? Anyhow, lets take each doxxing bit by bit. The CWM doxxing was done by a group of SRSers part of the 'fempire'. /u/rulerofthefempire is one of your people, claims responsibility for the doxxing. Now the gamergate stuff, they were got FROM THE SRS IRC CHANNEL. And the VA doxxing is known to be done by SRSers. So ya, how could the people of SRS even be remotely affiliated with SRS?
/u/PM_ME_A_FACT says:
If only these people put this much effort in to something productive
Spreading awareness of a dangerous place on the internet is productive. what you're essentially saying is "Don't tell people not to click on spammy advertisements. You can spend your time doing something more productive."
/u/Marcheesio says:
Also remember that they ban coontown and etc, doubled back on their "bastions of free speech"
Sitting at +45. Literally defending racism.
Well...I didn't entirely like coontown, however if there users genuinely did believe what they said, they had the right to say it. If you don't like what they say, don't look at it. Thus defending the banning of coontown doesn't necessarily mean that you liked coontown, thus making you racist.
