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. In 2015, Reddit introduced a quarantine policy to make visiting certain subreddits more difficult.
