The admins introduced a new content policy prohibiting buying, selling or facilitating the buying and selling of various items, along with no more encouraging illegal things. Shoplifting evaporated within seconds of the new policy. Numerous swap and sell groups are gone. But at ok: official sponsors and advertisers can sell their wares on reddit (upsetting the hordes).
This new policy may properly be the catalyst for Reddit to go Digg.
Yeah, imagine being a minor brewing your craft beer in order to send it by post to internet people in exchange for them sending you their craft beer by post, so you can get shitfaced.
No idea I never really got in with that group. Just watching the rage is interesting because I’ve only seen subscribers screaming, no one saying they modded.
Yeah it is pure horse cock and doesn't even make sense. AFAIK these were barter subs, people weren't paying for beer with cash, which just makes the bans dumber IMO. But I ain't a lawyer, so defer to the legal eagles on the barter vs money legality thing.

Yea that's retarded. I mean trading booze on reddit is kinda retarded too but I don't see why they should ban it.
Of course you are right, they are banning it cuz advertisers - but it feels wrong.

Meh if some guy wants to send a friend a bottle and the friend sends one back, who cares?
The guy who could have been the middle man and made money on that, that’s who.

In that particular instance I suspect the potential for a minor to access beer via reddit is the big threat.

The only reason digg dugg was because of this place being here. Without somewhere else to flounce too there will be no exudus

This is fucking lame. Reddit admins kys already.

Spez has to get himself a new handle. Guess she was tired of the downvotes.
1 CultOfCuck 2018-03-21
Do you know if they also automatically banned the mods of subs like /r/beettrade? Because that would be an extra layer of dick.

The rage is great and just. If anyone reading knows one of the mods of the banned subs, hit their profile and tell us their status please?
1 Dontfuqfatties 2018-03-21
The gun deals mods are still alive.
1 CultOfCuck 2018-03-21
Ah awesome, thanks. Probably safe to assume the other sub's mods survived too.
1 Dontfuqfatties 2018-03-21
I’m hoping the shoplifting mods were anally penetrated.
1 CultOfCuck 2018-03-21
Haha, I will certainly shed no feels over them if so.
1 AntiLuke 2018-03-21
One of them popped up in another drama thread, so it looks like all the mods were spared.
1 skivian 2018-03-21
No, one of them was posting in SRD today.

The beer trading is illegal in areas of the USA at a minimum.

r/Shoplifting can most certainly get fucked.
Im kinda sad they grouped us gun people with Those people when they banned us

1 Alchestbreach_ModAlt 2018-03-21
