[quote=thenextweb]The BBC has been testing out new ways of distributing news recently and its most recent addition comes in the form of a dedicated Subreddit and video news channel on the site.
Just a few months ago, the BBC launched Instafax, an experiment in short-form news delivered via Instagram. Now its attentions have turned to Reddit, which is hardly surprising given the huge number of visitors the site receives – last month alone it had around 113 million visits.[/quote]

As long as it doesn't pave the way to company subreddits its cool
last thing i want to see for example is a game company owned Subreddit for their game where they ban anyone who says something negative about it.

Too late.
this is truly bizarre. could anyone have predicted this?

Makes sense really. reddit is huge, the BBC will almost certainly get some heavy viewership from this, from people who may not check the Beeb's website but do check reddit

How long until CNN has a subforum here is the real question
Does that mean we're officially better than Reddit? (we had news posts from them before this)

I suppose. it feels like I'm already plugged directly into the BBC with a variety of different electronic sources, but one more can't hurt
also, I was wondering the other day what a BBC comment section would look like, and now I guess we get to find out (albeit à [del]la[/del] le reddit)

You already get comment sections on some of their news stories, and to be honest they aren't much better than anywhere else.

Mods lose their shit all the time.. look at /r/science /r/gaming or /r/technology /r/adviceanimals They all have had their fallouts
Eagerly awaiting the Fox News subreddit
The post that explains it seems to make sense, from what I can work out a bunch of BBC tech people were not happy not seeing a lot of BBC news on reddit so they decided to improve it.
Wonder how it goes..

The sub reddit for the game Nether is run by the developers I believe. Saw a thread about it today that they deleted some guys post about the game being finished but not delivering on what they said.

This has already happened, like r/smite.
Considering how much the BBC currently loves self-flagellation, I reckon negative comments being suppressed is probably unlikely.

It's been a thing for a long time, doesn't twitch have an official subreddit?
Official r/foxnews, bring it.
[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;45205622]Official r/foxnews, bring it.[/QUOTE]
That'd be a laugh. I'm fairly certain most fox views don't know what reddit is, and those that do probably hate reddit for being too librul.

Loads of devs, indie and large scale have subreddits moderated by them for their games. The indie ones tend to be lax about banning negativity because its usually the community that do it for them like mindless drones.

How is that any different from evil_game_company owning a forum on their official page where they ban anyone who says something negative about it? I'm fairly sure they'd get the same shit in both places.

/r/runescape frequently [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellbanning"]hellbans[/URL] users that criticize the shitty microtransactions they force in to the game. Jagex essentially owns the subreddit and has the mods in their pocket.

its called shadowbanning on reddit and only the reddit admins can do that, no subreddit mods can do that

I am pretty sure subreddit mods can hellban people from their own subreddit - not the entire site.

/r/trees exists because the mods of /r/marijuana lost there shit.

I mod a subreddit, and no, you can't. Only ban people from the subreddit.

You're going to be seriously disappointed in the league of legends sub reddit
