I think they realize that if this is effective the people whose subs are banned will just do the same to all of the far left subs, porn subs, and the countless other subs advertisers definitely wouldn't want their ads on.
1 WeWuzKANG5 2018-03-20
It's hilarious to see them unironically begging them to stop. Please stop telling our sponsors!
1 Dontfuqfatties 2018-03-20
“Please don’t tell the sponsors about that. Or that. Oh ffs, that to! No! Don’t tell them about late stage capitalism, as we slam them with ads!”
Basically the money grab is gonna turn into a top tier drama festival.
1 CucksLoveTrump 2018-03-20
How much is it to run an ad here? We should crowdfund one
1 Dontfuqfatties 2018-03-20
Only if it’s an ad for /r/fatpeoplehate or something that will generate loads of screams
1 Dextro420x 2018-03-20
We need to make an add about mayocide
1 Dontfuqfatties 2018-03-20
Ooooooh. That would rustle people.
1 nanonan 2018-03-20
As much as "it's OK to be white" though? I'm torn on the best path forward here.

Can’t we have both and upset everyone?
1 PlvGdm 2018-03-20
IIRC, kia did the same thing way back during gamergate and the admins told them to knock it off.
1 the_popcorn_pisser 2018-03-20
It wouldn’t be that difficult to take screenshots of /r/Politics occasional unhinged rants next to ads.
1 Dontfuqfatties 2018-03-20
“Occasional” being defined as every ten minutes?

u/IlikeSchecters don't you have better battles to fight? Is this not the very definition of a first world problem?
1 ILikeSchecters 2018-03-20
I mean isn't you bitching about me for the sake of drama sorta in the same vein?
1 AnnoysTheSoyboys 2018-03-20
Thinking that mean comments on an anonymous forum is somehow improving... anything... is sort of pathetic.
Especially when the argument being made by the admins was "don't fabricate screenshots to push an agenda."
If you can't see the difference between being pinged for sport vs pontificating about muh hate speech, then I'm afraid you need to keep yourself very safe.
1 ILikeSchecters 2018-03-20
I even said screen shots to push an agenda is stupid. Look, the main reason I use reddit is for some support subs. And because I use some of them, I've gotten a ton of hateful and creepy pms, and many of them come from the usual subs that we don't want reddit to continue housing. First world problem? Sure, I'll give you that. But, some of the communities on here have helped me out a ton, and I just want to make sure that I don't have to stop coming here like I did with some gaming communities because of toxicity.
1 AnnoysTheSoyboys 2018-03-20
So you enjoy some of the communities. What if some members of those communities sent hateful or creepy pm's to people they don't agree with about various issues. Should the communities you enjoy frequenting be banned because of the actions of some of the members?
The answer is no. If we're talking about an explicitly toxic sub like r/incels, there is an argument to be made about the subject matter only ever being toxic. However, you're taking about T_D and other subs where the subject matter isn't explicitly hateful even if some of the members are idiots. It isn't right to disband entire communities because of some users, and it's a pointless endeavour because the users will still exist and splinter subs will spring up anyway.
1 ILikeSchecters 2018-03-20
Those communities explicitly reinforce that attitude, though. Remember Aids frodo on the Donald? I do. My purpose isn't to win the oppression Olympics by saying this, but as a trans person it straight up scared the shit out of me, especially when I started having members of those communities saying they were gonna post some pictures of to subs to try and get others to ridicule me. Luckily I pass, so I'd probably just get creepy pms, but the point still stands that there is an established pattern of ridicule against specific demographics that straight up don't want to fight that fight in the first place. If someone doesn't agree with my points of view, fine. I'm not asking for everybody to subscribe to the monthly edition of the transgenda agenda (although I think the people that want to discriminate against people are more deserving of the safe space moniker). But, places like the Donald where people are routinely harassed because of who they are should worry the admins, because it keeps me from enjoying the site and getting benefits from it. I guess what I'm trying to say is, while absolutely legal, the type of harassment such as what's seen on the Donald has a real effect on real people.
1 AnnoysTheSoyboys 2018-03-20
A.) Post that bussy
B.) It's juvenile. The vast majority of people giving you shit wouldn't dare say anything to you in person. You can insist those retards get banned, but you're throwing gas on the fire. Don't be the wimp they insist you are.
C.) It still doesn't remove the users who are the problem. They will always be around, but maybe Reddit should introduce other measures like twitter does with it's blacklists that might keep anyone who's ever engaged in certain behavior from pinging or messaging you. Who knows. But the main issue is where does it end? It wouldn't end with TD, you know that.
1 ILikeSchecters 2018-03-20
A.) Here you go sir
B and C.) I mean, at the tail end of boy mode (I was not passing as male very well anymore at this point), I was asked if I was a hermaphrodite at a shady ass gas station. People are nuts. All it takes is one crazy person posting shit where they shouldn't, and I could have a problem on my hands. And the fact is, the whole FPH and CoonTown thing showed that getting rid of that community did have a tangible effect. I personally don't think I'm a wimp for wanting to get rid of places that encourage toxicity, nor do I think I'm brave for being in a specific demographic. All I want is for blatant harassment to not be the most upvoted comments and submissions on a sub. Stuff like this, the example I gave earlier, is a problem.
1 Trannypostingaccount 2018-03-20
It was a trick question, trannies have one or two trussies and these are literally the worst.

1 Merari01 2018-03-20
Braincels is a subreddit that is in our sights, as is MillionDollarExtreme.
But t_D is a clear hategroup subreddit as well, that has no place on reddit. It is not a subreddit for the promotion of the POTUS. It is a subreddit for the radicalisation of young people in a way that already has directly led to at least two murders.
https://www.reddit.com/r/stopadvertising/comments/851018/fifty_of_the_worst_examples_from_rthe_donald/
1 AnnoysTheSoyboys 2018-03-20
Yeah, well. The Clinton Campaign killed Seth Rich. I don't see you guys getting pissed about that!
1 Merari01 2018-03-20
For the sake of argument, they would have killed him via a black ops operation and not through radicalisation of disenfranchised teenagers on reddit.
We're kinda limited to reddit only.
1 AnnoysTheSoyboys 2018-03-20
Isn't it always something tho? Rap music, porn, video games, heavy metal, dungeons and dragons. People are always clutching pearls about their shitty teenagers. Banning T_D isn't going to keep teens from behaving that way, if anything it provides a unique opportunity to engage vulnerable teens in a setting where they're being themselves.
1 Merari01 2018-03-20
Yes, it always is something when it comes to hysterics. Pokemon, Harry Potter, yoga.
I'd say that this opportunity to engage them in a comfortable setting is impossible as long as t_D exists. You can't dry someone off when they are still in the swimming pool. They have to get out first.
t_D deliberately foments hatred and provides an atmosphere where radicalisation is normalised, by normalising racism and calls to violence.
Replace it with a subreddit that's really about being a fanclub of the POTUS. A subreddit that does more than pay lipservice to free speech and that doesn't immediately ban at even the hint of dissent.
In such a place these people could be reasoned with.
1 AnnoysTheSoyboys 2018-03-20
I could get behind that as long as it was implemented uniformly. Places like LSC are also toxic within their own ideological context, many users are young adults and could use a dose of pushback, but same deal with the bans. Would Reddit support your suggestion across the board? I doubt it.
1 Merari01 2018-03-20
Agreed. I have seen what is on that subreddit and know about their banning policy.
All posts calling for violence are welcome on our subreddit.
1 wwaalleess 2018-03-20
They'll get downvoted to oblivion though, and you know that. The side you are fighting for is only recognizes one type of "hate"
1 CirqueDuFuder 2018-03-20
You will end up just like AHS where it is only the RIGHT type of bad AND people give zero fucks about the truth they just have an agenda.

1 EarnestNoMeta 2018-03-20
close enough
1 Merari01 2018-03-20
We are not going private again.
We temporarily went private so we could have a mod meeting without having to pay close attention to what was happening on the subreddit.
The admin post was made without contacting us first and it took us by surprise. No further admin activity has taken place on the sub, no posts or comments removed or anything like that.
Despite requests for clarification we have gotten none. We therefore do not know precisely what is meant by "doctored screenshots" and will not remove any posts already present on the subreddit.
We will however comply in full with the most stringent interpretation possible. As of today, no screenshots on the subreddit are allowed that are altered in any way, with the exception of removing usernames.
We believe that for advertisers it makes little difference if an ad of theirs is featured right next to calls for violence, genocide, to racism or other hatespeech or if that ad is featured on the same website. We think that alerting advertisers that this type of content exists on reddit can still make their marketing team think twice before placing an ad on reddit.
The admins have made it clear that the protests of the userbase against hatespeech mean little to them. Only when it gets media attention or when it hurts their bottom line is action taken. We therefore think that showing advertisers what their products will be associated with is the best chance for getting this kind of content off the site.
