Because /r/Pizzagate became a threat to one of Reddit's backers or shareholders. This was exactly the same thing that happened to /r/European. I'm actually surprised /r/The_Donald wasn't shut down early because obviously their tactic of sliding and shilling from inside has backfired on them. Now it's too late and the backlash would be huge, much bigger than /r/Pizzagate which was terminated just as it took off big. Also actual harassment and brigading subs like /r/ShitRedditSays get a free pass because they just target meaningless individuals that the staff doesn't care about. Just like bureaucrats and their laws, the rules on reddit aren't created to help or protect the average user. They are made to give administrators justification to swing their dick around and to protect their financial interests, which is probably a sensible thing for them to do but they should at least be honest and upfront about it.
