For meta discussions about /r/SubredditDrama. Generally speaking we're going to take a lighter hand in moderating here, but don't be a massive dick. Also keep circlejerking to a minimum (that means no copypasta).
Ban appeals, requesting second opinions on mod rulings etc. must be sent to SRD mod mail.

No problem. We won't show you that ad again. Why didn't you like it?
Oops! I didn't mean to do this.

Basically any subreddit that we saw using the submissions to self promote got added to the list. This was mostly racist subreddits, and some trolling subreddits. A couple ones were banned for other reasons. The ones you'd have heard of are

Can I ask why obvious hate subs are not there as well? FPH users for example promote their sub by leaving hateful comments to fat people all over reddit and then follow it with "lol found the fatty" and links to their subreddit. They do strive to create negative drama to brag about Subs they got banned from, hatemails they got, and how many new subs they acquire.

To be fair, that last one is just /u/TrendingBot automatically posting to the sub.

    correct, same as r/rapecounseling

    Are these subs being automodded in comments too?
    I can understand submissions, but removing comments seems excessive.
    [–]stopscopiesme 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
    it kind of depends. some subreddits were being spammy about advertising themselves in the SRD comments and only the comments, so they got banned from there. others were using links and comments
    it might be a tiny bit excessive, so ideally someone goes through the removed comments list and fishes some stuff out
    [–]optimalg 0 points1 point2 points  (2 children)
    I assume you don't put up a list of banned subreddits in the sidebar because that would give them attention as well?
    [–]stopscopiesme 2 points3 points4 points  (1 child)
    yeah, but automod will notify when it removes a submission explaining we don't link that subreddit
    [–]optimalg 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
    Ah, so the submission from r/transfags I asked about earlier got through because it was only just created and therefore wasn't on the list yet. Got it. Thank you for your answer.

    There was a period that r/guns and r/gunsarecool were in some sort of war and decided to use srd as their battleground. They used alts to submit their own drama and there would be like 300 comments of fighting in the srd comments, with them reporting each others comments. It got so ridiculous we banned both subreddits from being linked. They were using srd to smear each other rather than to self promote
