You should provide a summary of what happened in the post. It sounds like the guy who registered the domain was threatened because the mods weren't able to get rid of the spam accounts fast enough, so he had to surrender it or the FBI was going to move in with him. Seems pretty standard....it's the same issue that reddit and Twitter faces, except they have better PR and more institutional backing. The only way to fix the spam problem is to develop auto-detectors that can delete it on the spot based on weighted community votes. Trolls can spam votes also, so once a post is deemed spam, then all the people who upvoted it have to be be ranked lower or removed. It's the only way to prevent violent posts from getting on the front page for several hours like last week. Reddit has so many mods that it essentially does this, but that causes other problems.
