Reddit had a test run of this phenomenon in 2020 & 2021 when the mods of AgainstHateSubreddits and a bunch of LGBTQ subreddits were targeted with weaponised reporting.
At that time, I called for a sanity check be placed in the “user has been reported -> user gets suspended” pipeline — a human element that could double check that the report was processed appropriately and that the suspension was in fact warranted.
Who knows what they've done to address this problem?
Whatever it has been, it's clearly not been enough, and it has caused a trust thermocline inversion.
Throughout 2022, they did their best to communicate to us that they value moderators - but they haven't closed this exploit.
It's been leveraged against moderators, against content producers, etc.
Simultaneously, communities that chronically platform hate speech are unactioned.
It's been 3 years since they overhauled the Sitewide rules and internal policies. They need to revisit those policies and processes.
Did you know there are over 50 ongoing armed conflicts right now? Anyone engaging in combat on behalf of a state, militia, army, and so on fits in here.
NOTE: videos from the current Russia-Ukraine war or Israel-Hamas war go in /h/slavshit and /h/sandshit, respectively.
Don't dox or threaten to dox other WPD users, even offsite.
Posts must include videos of people dying except in the designated Gore category of flairs.
The Discussion, Social, Meta, Pets and Music flairs are intentionally off-topic and do not require people dying.
Videos that only include aftermath of a serious accident/incident or current event may be allowed.
No animal death unless there's also a human dying in the same scene.
No posts centering on abuse/excessive suffering of children.
Do not post bladed self harm. Extreme acts of self harm may be allowed in /h/gore. Original Content self harm is no longer allowed
Titles should be as descriptive as possible.
Additional context, images, or sources are always encouraged and appreciated. No joke titles please.
If there is a child hurt or killed, please use the Child Warning checkbox while creating a post.
No explicit racism or bigotry. Some of our service providers are very sensitive.
Humor is fine, but comments that are just low effort shock value spam may be removed. Feel free to express your opinions but please try to express them in a reasonable manner.
No overtly pornographic stuff, including "snuff porn".
In general: no solely fetish-oriented material.
No reposts within 60 days
Also no reposts of famous videos (unless you have a more HQ version, have a different POV, or are doing a writeup on it). These are listed below.
