Seems like they are taking some hard actions after incidents such as How “The Atlantic” successfully spammed Reddit.

I'm with you. I wouldn't care if someone only posted fox news links as long as they were engaged in dialog. If I didn't like the content, I'd just use the ignore function and I'd never see it.
I'd much prefer it be the Atlantic though, I love their work and I'm always glad to see it here.

Perhaps they are afraid that their frontpage gets dominated by a few sources akin to what happened with Digg v4.

Not exactly sure either, as far as I can see the reddit admins are being a bit vague as to the exact reasons for the bans. Plus, there are a ton of sites I would have banned before sites like 'The Atlantic'.
