They have no ability to police. /r/all for the past 18 hours demonstrates this pretty cleanly. So announcing an intent to police, without buying new squad cars, hiring more beat cops, building out a courthouse and otherwise assembling the infrastructure necessary to do actual policing accomplishes exactly fuckall. /r/jailbait was left up as long as it was because it was the devil they knew. Violentacrez was on a leash and worked with them; cut off that head and a thousand others will spring up. It worked in the Admins' advantage to have their pr0n in a well-controlled, sanctioned corner. The only reason they took it down is SomethingAwful demonstrated to them just how sensitive they truly were to bad PR.
