Those link can be controlled using the Google Webmasters Tools. The reddit admins would have to use the tool and specifically remove that link.

u/DesolateRomance Oct 27 '10
Blocking it in Google Webmaster Tools doesn't guarantee that it won't appear in the additional links area. WT is more of a suggestion box than a policy thing. Google is always trying to display the most relevant results to its users. So no, they didn't goof. They just didn't take your suggestion.
If you really want jailbait to stop appearing there, just prevent Googlebot from indexing it via robots.txt. That's the only way to guarantee that it stops appearing in the results.

This is right. In Google Webmaster tools navigate to site configuration>>sitelinks. From there you can block a sitelink from showing on Google.

Because google's spiders likely don't know how many subscribers a subreddit has and can't auto-generate those links based of of that (since those are auto-generated, not off of a sitemap or anything).

I don't think they're at all different things, but to answer your question, no I wouldn't have any issue telling my friends and family that I use reddit. And even if for some odd reason I was telling them that reddit has 50 different porn sections on it of dubious legality, I wouldn't mind telling them I visit the site since I don't visit those sections. They are rational enough to recognize that a user-controlled forum caters to all kinds of users, not just the sort of users that I approve of.
I would not be friends with them if they supported censoring things that are legal just because they personally find them offensive.

u/iltat_work Oct 27 '10
Semi-nude equals clothed, right? Just wanted to clarify that since I'm semi-nude right now.
When you tell your family that you watch TV, do you tell them what channels? Many of those channels have ads for sex hotlines, extensive "semi-nude" displays of both males and females, a variety of double entendres, ads for pyramid schemes, and features that revolve around sex, drugs, crime, or a variety of other topics that you may feel uncomfortable discussing with family members. Oh, and if you don't watch them (or look at r/jailbait), that apparently doesn't mean you don't have to tell your family about them. It's okay though, I'll bet your mother and grandmother watched those channels too.
Read books? Do we need to go through that whole example again? Magazines? Newspapers? Craigslist? Ebay? Amazon?
All of these things feature portions of their available content that you probably would prefer to not discuss at Thanksgiving dinner with the 'rents, thus why you're able to enjoy those things (whatever portion of them that you enjoy) in the privacy of your own home. Privately. And then you get to pick and choose which parts you support and which you don't.
Oh, and I would never discuss reddit with my family members who were born before the internet. They wouldn't get 90% of the front page, so what would be the point?

So you're responsible for the actions of all the random people who happen to visit the same association of websites you visit? That's a ridiculous concept. Yahoo's openly full of white supremacists and racists. Craigslist is openly full of everything from prostitution to swinging. Ebay is openly full of everything and Meg Whitman. If your boss holds you accountable for the actions of all the other people who visit the same groups of sites you do, then you may as well not visit the internet at all.

u/fireburt Oct 27 '10
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it necessarily does reflect the community. It has less than 10k subscribers. There are a shit load of subreddits with way more subscribers (the top, pics and reddit.com, have around 350k). It is based off google's pagerank system, which I imagine is pretty complex, but bases a lot off of people linking to the site. So if I understand correctly, r/jailbait just has a lot of other sites linking to it a lot, but members of the community are found there in a relatively small population (though subscribers obviously isn't the best indicator of traffic to a subreddit).
