The time has come for the user base of Reddit to take a stand. What was once a forum for intellectual discussion and free speech has become a haven for those with a malevolent agenda.

The users of ShitRedditSays have become a divisive and corrupting influence determined to silence any who they feel pose a threat to their views. Under the guise of removing child pornography they have consistently targeted and aggressively silenced their opposition.

Let us be clear, we who sign this petition abhor child pornography and the exploitation of those who cannot defend themselves.

We the users of Reddit ask the Admins to listen to this petition and recognise the damage that ShitRedditSays is causing. Not only are they damaging the public image of Reddit, but they are also destroying the lives and reputations of their users.

This is not about freedom of speech. It is about a group of people who react violently against those they deem necessary SRS have repeatedly shown that they will use dirty tricks, such as sabotaging this petition and even threats of violence, to further their goals.

Please ignore the troll-like signatures from SRS members who are just making our point for us.
