Massively controversial on HN, leading to lots of flagged posts (due to a mix of legitimate flame bait and emotional kneejerk).

Large portions of the things posted to the Oakland subreddit get flagged and removed. Almost anything mentioning the city in a negative light gets flagged. Crime reports / trends, anything.

Sarcastically chuckling about the state of the city as a long time resident gets the ban hammer.

It is really quite something.
