Website Skooden:

Imgur is having a purge, they've always had a 'no NSFW links' policy but only recently became large enough to enforce the rules, and now the community is in open revolt, sending death threats to the site admins, sharing libraries of pics, posting "But Does THIS Count??" submissions, the works.

And even then only ones other users bother to report. There is no automated ban, if several people report a thing then a real human mod will look at it, and if it is over the line they take it down. Also of note, the things that are now being blocked are things that were always against the rules of the site. Things every registered user member of the community already agreed to when they made their account. Imgur just has a big enough staff now that they can put a couple more people on the job of reading reports. :rolleyes:

But mah freedom of speech!
