Reply to comment by rhodyjourno in Homelessness in R.I. could reach an all-time high this winter, advocates say by rhodyjourno
There was a problem with a troll that ended up being banned from Reddit. Not even remotely comparable situations.
FWIW I also appreciate the extended excerpt, especially for an important topic like this.

Reply to next stop, can we ban the golocalprov posts? by ryanfingawesome
The troll was banned from reddit as a whole, not the subreddit. Did the moderators here have anything to do with that?
I don't think we should ban GoLocalProv, or really any news site. It's a shit tabloid but it's still a source for relevant news, sometimes. Their bias and lack of quality is clear just by reading them. And I think it should be pointed out in the comments whenever possible, much like I wish folks would do when links to Sinclair media's WJAR are posted.
I do think a rule similar to r/RhodeIsland where you have to keep the original headline in order to prevent editorializing would be nice.
