Fake ID sub banned

As of four hours ago, r/fakeid has been banned. No explanation has been given, beyond the standard "This community has been banned for violating the Reddit rules."

This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, what with the recent ban of the DNMUK, DNMOZ, and Dream subreddits. It appears that the reddit admins are cleaning out the subs they see as the most blatant or obvious. The reddit content policy states that subs can be removed for illegal content; it looks like tolerance for these subs is diminishing. It's worth noting that r/fakeid had frequent vendor interaction and advertising.

This could very well be the beginning of the end. This is it boys, this is what we trained for. We should have supported Voat, but those where the days we were safe. If the all powerful Reddit admins wanted to wipe us of the face of there site, this is how they would do it. Take the little subs first, like what is happening right now, they took down the dream sub for fucks sake.

These are dark times and I don't have any answers, I just hope that they don't exile us to places like the hub, or god forbid TMG

I smoke crack and shoot heroin & methamphetamine what the fuck am I supposed to do with TMG?

Somebody much smarter then I needs to develop a plan for what we do when they came for our women and worse yet, our drugs. What if tomorrow I come to this place, a place I care deeply about only find out its been thrown to the pits and shunned?

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me." -Martin Niemoller

Did they have any kind of a backup plan?

My sub /r/fakeiduk was also banned at the same time and the largest ID vendor’s account, IDGod (username escapes me) Who was offering both UK and US IDs for some time now.

This isn’t great as im not sure what this means for other subs such as this one.

I had strict rules in place for fakeiduk to ensure only reviews were included, although we had a verified vendor list, but if the ban was based on the vendor list, that could mean the super list sub may get banned at some point.

So what is the contingency plan for when they shut down this sub? Yeah the mods are good about rule enforcement here but assuming this is a reddit-wide crackdown, where do we go from here?

We had contingency plans in case of this happening. r/fakeidprivate is the true sub being moderated by the same team. We are currently running on all cylinders to rework the sub to attune more to reddits TOS as well as collecting vendors.

We need an alternate website and we need it now.

/u/savingfluffybunnies my offer is still on the table to create a onion or clearnet site to get off of Reddit. We knew this was going to happen whether it be sooner rather than later. What are our contingency plans? We don't have any.

I saw we move to voat.
