Admins make a post in /r/announcement to talk about moderation and community styling. Redditors make the predictable comments about Nazis and t_d.

lol the leftists are completely insane

So, business as usual then.

Hahaha

Surprisingly the whiny bitches in that thread are getting downvoted. Sort by controversial to see tears.

my money is on these guys being the REAL Russian bots

Well, they do always project all the time.

T_D is second largest? That’s a lot of bots.

It's not. That dumbass pulled that shit off of a failed search for subreddits

Ah. Seemed like a massive difference between 1 and 2.

inb4 that guy posts the "WHY ISN'T T_D BANNED YET. HERE ARE ALL THE EXAMPLES OF THEM BEING MEAN" pasta that is posted on every announcement thread

Don't forget about that faggot/nerd who invented some sort of mathematical formula to detect bias and then used it on every right leaning sub. Then someone actually used it on /r/politics and the score was 17x higher. But that's different.

You gotta link to that drama?

Post feet, I mean link pls

A formula for bias?

Also lol at mentioning politics. They literally removed a terrorist attack on Trump family but they front page articles talking about how he drinks water.

Don't let those fuckers know he takes two scoops of ice cream

Did you hear that he drinks diet coke? What a fucker.

i have never seen a thin person drinking diet coke

If Trump was a real man, he would have taken three. One extra to show dominance and then another just because he can.

a terrorist attack on Trump family for being "off topic"

lol are you talking about Starchy’s Revenge

I think that is a corn starch reference by you. Yes, I am. That is literally the definition of terrorist threats. When you need to be rushed to a hospital and be tested to figure out if you are going to die, that isn't a game.

you didn’t call it a “threat,” you called it an “attack” lol

That was an attack. It wasn't some random kys over the internet. People literally had to go to the hospital and get tested to find out if they are going to die. It accomplished the goal of putting it in their heads that they can be killed and gotten to without having to actually murder them in the process.

It is flat out terrorism by definition.

I think /u/grungebot5000 is memeing as a retard. Or he's retarded.

People literally had to go to the hospital and get tested to find out if they are going to die

you know what else did that? the MEDIA.

doesn't make it an attack

If I kidnapped you, tied you up put a gun to your head and pulled the trigger and you heard it click, would you call that you being attacked?

I don't understand what you are saying about the media in this statement of yours.

If I kidnapped you, tied you up put a gun to your head and pulled the trigger and you heard it click, would you call that you being attacked?

No, I’d call it getting “punk’d”

Ok, you are retarded. Duly noted.

"attacks" inflict HP damage, status effects are inflicted by techniques

Lol, ok, retard.

i wish i could give you two updoots

Do you have a link to it? The one I remember used a bunch of phrases that would only pop up on the T_D and got called out hard for it.

It would look for kill, then things like Muslims and add a hit if it matched. What it didn't detect was shit like "kill cop".

That wiki literally consists of a majority of removed comments which is what admins have retorted with in the past.

It is the equivalent of AHS posting lynching photos on Reddit to own the conservatives.

When are you going to take responsibility for the fact that the #2 subreddit is a hate group that spreads fascist propaganda freely?

When are you going to take responsibility for helping hostile powers both foreign and domestic attack our democracy?

Russia is already attacking our 2018 elections and not only does the president have no intention of stopping them, he is refusing to enforce their punishment for what they did in 2016. Our country is falling to fascism in slow motion and Reddit is helping it along and profiting from it.

Probably about the time the Clintons return the money they got from Russia for selling them Uranium?

being so retarded you buy one of the dumbest hillary conspiracies

Stick with the assassins ones, those are at least funny to read.

Did I hurt your feelings cupcake?

i dont get emotionally invested in politicians and make them into replacement daddys, i just call out delusional soyboys when i see them.

Do you ever get tired of being autistic? Would you change if you could?

being autistic

not believing in retarded conspiracy theories that get shared around on facebook that make absolutely 0 sense

Cry more ya fagggggggot

Cut to ~5,000 links to posts by accounts that oddly enough only have that single post on their account

Anno Domini 2018, February. The Trump butthurt is as epidemic as ever. Emasculated balding individuals and insuline fueled lumps of flesh still roam free in the comment section of reddit.

I'm still here, looking. Looking for this obscene parade of retarded faggotry to cease god fucking dammit.

I'm not locked in here with you.

You're locked in here with me.

Nice use of a quote by a fictional paranoid fascist, you bigot.

Still Alan Moore was a disgrace.

I don't know what Rohrschach's political beliefs are.

Our country is falling to fascism in slow motion and Reddit is helping it along and profiting from it.

Reddit turns a profit?

That comment is a single sentence, contains 3 claims, the first of which is retarded, the second of which is just as retarded and the third of which is unverifiable near as I can tell.

The economy of stupidity in that comment is enviable.

The economy of stupidity in that sentence is enviable.

This is good for Bitcoin.

Icky! Gross!

Zoinks!

Emoji remappings are interesting. All the emoji pastachefs are going to be pretty peeved, and that's exactly why /r/Drama should implement it immediately.

This is some extreme mayo levels of cringe.

The best thing about being in the middle is being better than everyone.

This tbqhwyf

This would make a good psalm for a new, modern bible.

God bless you radical centrists.

Are those real people who think that is reasonable for political candidates to be banned? Or is it just another ShareBlue FUD campaign?

I almost forgot about Shareblue freakout only a little while ago.

WHAT ABOUT BREITBART?!?

Is it the dupers or the duped? Doesn't really matter does it?

I am trying to track the spread of Brain-AIDS

  1. When are you going to take responsibility for the fact that the #2 subreddit is a hate group that spreads fascist propaganda freely?

  2. When are you going to take responsibility for helping hostile powers both foreign and domestic attack our democracy?

and Reddit is...profiting from it.

That's just capitalism baby!

stfu stupid bigot smdh amerikkkans so stupid

is this pasta?

Do these new emoji mean that party parrot will be sitewide?

wtf i love reddit now

Y'all should support it being banned, imagine the drama

Unfortunately, the drama would taper off after a couple weeks. We get constant T_D drama regularly, and have for 18 months at least.

This implies the freakout that happens about every few hours or so for over a year now because of it existing isn't an infinite lolcow on its own.

Can you imagine the drama that would erupt if they found out that the Douglas shooter was a regular poster at /r/The_Donald? That possibility wouldn't even exist if it was banned.

By the way, why aren't you a mod of /r/circlebroke2 anymore?

Mod drama

What happened, though?

I want my Illuminati flair emoji right fucking now!

I would like an Alex Jones flair

Wait, redesign? They are doing that? Oh boy, I can't wait until Voat's frontpage is flooded with "get out" posts when the redditors run away from here on that day.

someone complaining about /r/Canada mods is higher up then people bitching about daddy's sub

waht

Considering the usual whining about how they only make minimum wage and so can't afford a 2500 sq ft house I think the conversation would actually be better if it was actually taken over by t_d.

Good god all these fucking people. The left is a bunch of whiny kids. Just Jesus fucking Christ don't these guys have anything better to do than bitch about a subreddit? I mean come the fuck on.

Gotta put their gender studies degree to use somehow

whatever man this shits boring

is t_d even still relevent

Speaking of moderation:

If there was a hypothetical pro-ISIS subreddit "The_Abu" honoring their cult leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

with 570,000 members, thousands of whom are active at any given moment

where armies of sock-puppet accounts coordinate regular brigades to upvote posts into the stratosphere that celebrate their Leader while down-voting into oblivion posts which challenge him

where death threats against the cult's enemies – both specific individuals and entire demographics like "The White Devils," "The Christian Crusaders," "The Jewish Swindlers" and Arabic and/or Islamic "Traitors to the race/faith" – were not removed on the moderators' own initiative, but only after another subreddit documented the fact that these death threats had gone unmoderated for so long (and sometimes not even then)

and where users with names like "Dabiq4Truth" have been linked to real-life acts of violence against American citizens after being radicalized by the subreddit's "We are being persecuted by our Godless enemies, and we must take up arms to defend ourselves!" propaganda

Would this hypothetical subreddit be taken down before any more innocent people got hurt or killed by the terrorists radicalized within?

Or would the site's leadership defend them by saying

Generally the mods of the_abu have been cooperative when we approach them with systematic abuses. Typically we ban entire communities only when the mods are uncooperative or the entire premise of the community is in violation of our policies. In the past we have removed mods of the_abu that refuse to work with us.

At Reddit, we try to separate behavior from beliefs. People are free to have whatever beliefs they want, but we do care about your behavior, specifically whether or not you are violating our content policy.

I've defended that community because they represent a frustration in the US that a large part of the population felt left out, left behind, and unheard by the system.

Sadly, alienation and cynicism are still deeply felt by much of our population, and we’re more divided than ever. I don’t believe banning a community that represents different viewpoints does anything but make the problem worse. It’s much more powerful for the greater population to reject these views than for us to ban them and turn them into martyrs.

Personally, I would want the hypothetical the_abu subreddit to be taken down in this scenario. Is that too much to ask?
