Today, in addition to applying Quarantines, we are banning a handful of communities that exist solely to annoy other redditors, prevent us from improving Reddit, and generally make Reddit worse for everyone else. Our most important policy over the last ten years has been to allow just about anything so long as it does not prevent others from enjoying Reddit for what it is: the best place online to have truly authentic conversations

Which communities have been banned?

[–]spez[S] 615ポイント616ポイント  (526子コメント)

Today we removed communities dedicated to animated CP and a handful of other communities that violate the spirit of the policy by making Reddit worse for everyone else: /r/CoonTown, /r/WatchNiggersDie, /r/bestofcoontown, /r/koontown, /r/CoonTownMods, /r/CoonTownMeta.

[–]Cheech5 125ポイント126ポイント  (3子コメント)

Thank you for the response, it's greatly appreciated. I wasn't concerned with any one particular subreddit, but the overall goal of transparency being upheld.

[–]AirPhforce 45ポイント46ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm actually shocked you did it.

I was thinking for-sure they would just become an ad-free subreddit dedicated to hate hidden behind an 'opt-in' wall.

Edit; /r/Kiketown is apparently a white-listed ad-free hate-subreddit. Meaning reddit staff reviewed the content there and OK'd it.

[–]Fryes 94ポイント95ポイント  (7子コメント)

/r/rapingwomen also banned.

Edit: Apparently it was banned prior to today.

[–]Number357 130ポイント131ポイント  (33子コメント)

but not /r/shitredditsays? Not /r/AgainstMensRights? Hateful, bigoted communities that actually do invade other subs? Apparently only certain types of bigotry and brigading aren't tolerated here. I wouldn't have much problem with seeing /r/coontown go if your hate speech policy were actually fairly enacted, but this picking and choosing is the reason why many people were opposed to the hate speech policy to begin with. A former admin runs SRS and a former CEO mods a sub that endorses AMR, so can't say I'm surprised that reddit staff don't have any problem with those communities.

[–]alphetasauce 337ポイント338ポイント  (79子コメント)

So since your content policy is to ban subreddits that exist solely to harass other redditors, when are you banning /r/shitredditsays?

[–]snakespm 13ポイント14ポイント  (3子コメント)

So all these subreddits have an obvious theme going. Are you only banning racist subreddits or will others be put on the chopping block?

[–]Heiminator 187ポイント188ポイント  (67子コメント)

What about /r/ShitRedditSays and similar subreddits? Or are you only gonna ban discriminatory subreddits when they target ethnic minorities?

[–]BizarroBizarro 22ポイント23ポイント  (11子コメント)

/r/CoonTown is going to be leaking all over the place in the coming days. Should be interesting.

[–]Wayrin 37ポイント38ポイント  (7子コメント)

You will get a lot of hate for this, but know that the silent majority is thinking "its about damn time".

[–]MortGarson 23ポイント24ポイント  (12子コメント)

why removed as opposed to quarantined? i don't see how they make Reddit worse for everyone else, as opposed to just "content would be considered extremely offensive to the average redditor."

[–]Enantiomorphism 16ポイント17ポイント  (3子コメント)

I know there are going to be a lot of complaints about this, but honestly, those subreddits added nothing to the community and had users regularly post racist drivel in other subreddits.

[–]asianedy 16ポイント17ポイント  (1子コメント)

Thanks for the response, but if that's the case, why isn't /r/bestof, /r/subredditdrama, and the likes banned as well? Whenever a link is posted there, there are clear vote changes.

[–]periodicchemistrypun 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Is this purely due to their racism or their activities?

There is a lot wrong with racist actions but racist thoughts? We can all agree thought crimes are dystopian but some people don't consider the freedom of the discussion as valuable as the freedom of opinions and just label it 'hate speech'.

I know reddit is a privately owned website but I just hope you keep directly telling and discussing with us any changes and that reddit doesn't become too moderated by people other than the moderators.

[–]PhysicalGraffiti75 25ポイント26ポイント  (3子コメント)

/r/CrackerTown is still up, why is /r/CoonTown banned but /r/CrackerTown is allowed?

I despise /r/CoonTown but I despise double standards even more.

[–]slyf 161ポイント162ポイント  (31子コメント)

This page (https://www.reddit.com/about/alien/) says that

Remember: "reddit" is always lowercase.

But your Content Policy spells it with a capital R, has this branding changed?

[–]spez[S] 211ポイント212ポイント  (24子コメント)

Yep, we're changing our style guide as well. It's a pain to start a sentence with reddit.

[–]bigblades 94ポイント95ポイント  (4子コメント)

[–]bakonydraco 26ポイント27ポイント  (3子コメント)

Will you be sharing information about the communities which are Quarantined? Will moderators of those communities know if their subreddit has been affected?

Edit: Just as it's not immediately obvious, /r/Coontown has been banned

Edit 2: Here's what it looks like when you try to access a Quarantined subreddit

[–]spez[S] 89ポイント90ポイント  (19子コメント)

[–]booklover13 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]TheMentalist10 26ポイント27ポイント  (6子コメント)

Thanks for clarifying. I'm glad to see reddit taking a firmer, less fence-sitting stance on the matter.

[–]ChangloriousBastard 40ポイント41ポイント  (9子コメント)

Under "Enforcement", shadowbanning is not listed. I know the list is not comprehensive, but does that mean that shadowbanning will no longer be used to enforce the rules as illustrated in the updated content policy?

[–]spez[S] 21ポイント22ポイント  (6子コメント)

It will always be a useful tool for fighting spammers, but we are working as fast as we can on more nuanced tools for users who violate other rules so they have a chance to learn from their mistakes.

[–]WhiteFlight2 60ポイント61ポイント  (60子コメント)

I thought you were going to provide a link with why a subreddit was banned. /r/coontown, despite being reviled amongst some users didn't appear to violate any of the rules. It also did well to enforce additional rules that places like SRS flaunt. Why was /r/coontown banned, specifically?

[–]spez[S] -15ポイント-14ポイント  (52子コメント)

As I stated in the post

exist solely to annoy other redditors, prevent us from improving Reddit, and generally make Reddit worse for everyone else

[–]SteelSaxon 42ポイント43ポイント  (6子コメント)

Which one did it break though? I don't believe it existed for the 'sole' purpose to annoy other redditors, and you haven't provided any proof of them doing so. In your new Reddit Coontown would be quarantined so I don't know how they can get in the way of 'improving reddit' and how can a sub that only had 20k(?) subs make 'Reddit worse for everyone' when most users didn't even know it existed or even cared. So how did it break the rules?

[–]2comment 30ポイント31ポイント  (0子コメント)

Just say you started banning ideas, not just behavior.

No need to bullshit us.

[–]TheSpekio 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

So basically whatever you deem so. Thanks for listening about our complaints about nebulous regulations and doing nothing to clarify them.

[–]WhiteFlight2 62ポイント63ポイント  (6子コメント)

SRS annoys literally everyone on reddit. Even when you try to escape it, you can find one of your posts on their site and then you're harassed until they move on to the next person. Why are they not banned as they fit at least two of the three criteria. Edit: So is it safe to assume that /r/coontown was a liability to the brand?

[–]KYLO__REN 72ポイント73ポイント  (7子コメント)

So why isn't SRS banned? That's literally why that subreddit exists, to annoy other redditors.

[–]Omoikane13 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Really shot yourself in the foot there by posting the part of your policy that supports SRS being banned.

[–]BasedFoles 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

The only interaction Coontown had with other subs was when they were directly called out. Unless you're saying /r/AgainstHateSubreddits can annoy /r/CoonTown but they cannot respond, in which case just admit what you're really doing here.

[–]senatorskeletor 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I appreciate the general idea of what you're doing and I'd never defend /r/coontown. But "generally make Reddit worse for everyone else" is so vague as to have no meaning.

[–]cumiasroasted 14ポイント15ポイント  (0子コメント)

shitredditsays vote brigades and organizes harassment of users over posts. Does as much harm to the site as racist subs like coontown.

[–]A_Mouse_In_Da_House 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

So it's entirely based upon opinion. Good to know nothing has changed.

[–]illegal_deagle 184ポイント185ポイント  (103子コメント)

What does that mean exactly?

[–]spez[S] -16ポイント-15ポイント  (17子コメント)

It means that we can see downvoting brigades in that data, and we are working on preventing them from working. We used to do this in the past, and it worked quite well.

[–]missmymom 12ポイント13ポイント  (2子コメント)

Spez,

Help me out here please. In the content policy you define bullying as "Harassment on Reddit is defined as systematic and/or continued actions to torment or demean someone in a way that would make a reasonable person conclude that reddit is not a safe platform to express their ideas or participate in the conversation". I would say if someone is posted on SRS the sole purpose it shame and bully that person for the comments they are making (rightfully or not). I would say that fits under this definition does it not?

Also, was fatpeoplehate not banned for this exact behavior? We've seen SRS publish a list of usernames targeted at particular subreddits, wouldn't that also be a tool to help make this harassment and bullying easier?

I'm asking for clarification of the rules and how it appears at least they are not applied equally.

Thank you, Missmymom

[–]Ultimate_Cabooser 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

That still doesn't mean anything. They're blatantly violating the "exist solely to annoy other redditors" and they make Reddit a lot worse for everyone who isn't them.

The "we don't need to remove them because we're developing technology that won't let them break the rules" could be said about a shit ton of subreddits that were removed.

I'm not in the "fatpeoplehate shouldn't have been removed"-circlejerk, because I agree it was shitty and was rightly removed, but the "it doesn't need to be removed because we're working on technology that doesn't let them break the rules" argument could have been used for that. If you remove subreddits like that, you have to remove SRS.

[–]SteelSaxon 17ポイント18ポイント  (6子コメント)

What about the fact that SRS to their very core are as Toxic a community as Coontown? How is that not a factor for one but is for the other.

It isn't just a brigading concern the sub was literally created to harass and piss off other redditors. But you're ok with some of that content so long as its more on the PC spectrum right?

[–]Didalectic 40ポイント41ポイント  (1子コメント)

We are banning a handful of communities that exist solely to annoy other redditors, prevent us from improving Reddit, and generally make Reddit worse for everyone else.

Please explain how Shit Reddit Says doesn't fall under that definition. Why did Coontown get banned, despite not even breaking that first criteria? It's insulting to your product to think we are unable to see the inconsistency here, such that not banning SRS also fulfills the third criterium: 'prevents us from improving Reddit.'

It allows the current atmosphere of hostility based on (perceived) inconsistency and bullshitting to continue and even grow deeper.

[–]cosine83 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

The entire "Fempire" of reddit needs a whole once-over. Anything SRS-related has got to go. Not only do they brigade but they actively harass and troll other users. Clearly falling under your own rules. Will NP ever be enforced? What makes SRS and related subs different? Consistency and transparency are key with this kind of shit, man.

[–]SleepingLesson 79ポイント80ポイント  (2子コメント)

communities that exist solely to annoy other redditors

Seems like the explicit purpose of SRS, does it not?

[–]JohnStalvern 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

What about the fact that they dox?

What about the fact that their stated purpose is to make reddit look bad and hurt it?

SRS is a left-leaning counterpart to many other shitty subs (some of which are/were banned) but it gets a pass.

[–]Stone_tigris 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Do you still agree with the use of shadow bans to stop it until you come up with something better? It just seems like such a bad interim system to still be using.

[–]Pennigans 34ポイント35ポイント  (1子コメント)

SRS exists solely to harass other users and is the biggest brigading subreddit. They even have a list of users they downvote upon sight! Wouldn't it be obvious just to ban them?

Fuck that shit. Ban SRS like you banned coontown. Stop being biased towards subs that harrass that you guys agree with.

[–]jlew715 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

unfuckingbelievable. It's not just brigading, it's directing hate towards a specific user.

[–]Teh_Compass 40ポイント41ポイント  (25子コメント)

Quarantining is a good step from outright banning. But banning more subreddits in addition to that isn't going to solve anything.

Banning subreddits that break the TOS like harassing users and such makes sense, but you can't go and ban subreddits that don't, no matter how much people don't like them.

/r/fatpeoplehate, for example, was annoying to people but could easily be ignored. It didn't need to be banned initially. But I totally understand that it was banned for the brigading it did. I was subscribed to one of the subreddits that was being brigaded and its users harassed.

/r/coontown, for example is easily ignored and doesn't deserve to be banned, even if they are racist as shit. I hear rumors about brigading but I personally don't know enough about it. If there is evidence that they are doing something like that then by all means ban them. But just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean they should be banned.

You essentially run the site and can do whatever you want. But remember what the users want.

[–]spez[S] -30ポイント-29ポイント  (11子コメント)

We didn't ban them because we disagree with them. We banned them because this exist solely to annoy other redditors, prevent us from improving Reddit, and generally make Reddit worse for everyone else.

This is the definition of SRS yet you didn't ban them. I wouldn't be pissed about your dumb rules if they were at least equal for every side of the coin, but the fact that you only target the non SJW subs is just too much hypocrisy.

[–]RealHumanHere 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

That is the damn definition of /r/ShitRedditSays. They are constantly annoying, harassing, doxxing and following reddittors around the site and make us feel unsafe.

Our most important policy over the last ten years has been to allow just about anything so long as it does not prevent others from enjoying Reddit for what it is: the best place online to have truly authentic conversations.

If you do plan to ban subs, I'm sure reddit would enjoy an itemized list of ban reasons/offenses by each sub. This shouldn't necessarily include a link or something to an example of the offense, but the list provided should be detailed enough for a reasonable person to say, "OK, yeah, that's clear enough to require the ban."

But the bans should definitely be released and reasons for them made clear.

[–]Facerless 30ポイント31ポイント  (0子コメント)

  • Encourages or incites violence
  • Threatens, harasses, or bullies or encourages others to do so

Are these going to be used against communities that are centered around the pre-existing hatred or dislike of a group or person?

I realize this is nit picking but this is still fairly vague

What constitutes encouragement or how will you decide what incites someone to action?

For the sake of transparency I feel like it would be best to make the list of banned communities public. With all of the concerns lately about the admins not being transparent enough, banning subs without telling us who they are seems counterproductive.

[–]GreyWalker 34ポイント35ポイント  (8子コメント)

A community will be Quarantined on Reddit when we deem its content to be extremely offensive or upsetting to the average redditor or to ourselves. The purpose of quarantining a community is to prevent its content from being accidentally viewed by those who do not wish to do so. Restrictions on a quarantined community include:

  • Requiring an account with a verified email address
  • Requiring an explicit opt-in
  • No custom images
  • Will generate no revenue, including ads or Reddit Gold

[–]edafade 104ポイント105ポイント  (2子コメント)

Subs like /r/coontown are banned (in fact, you banned only coontown related subs) but SRS is still up and running.

While I didn't agree with their ideology or what they represented, you, /u/spez stated yourself on several occasions, you did not support the beliefs of /r/coontown but believed they had a place here on reddit. SRS clearly violates reddit's Content "Policy" yet remains unaffected whereas the former did not and were contained to their own communities.

It's the same shit as before, just packaged with a ribbon.

Very disappointing.

I don't mind censorship on Reddit (after all it is your platform) but it is the hypocrisy that bugs me. Banning ideas, while saying you only ban actions, while certain subreddits actively engage in the actions you say you are preventing but are given free reign. I would be so much happier with these decisions if you just straight up told us that you are banning things the board members don't like.

I'm sure some of you are rushing to find the Imgur link about how ripping out someone's tongue doesn't prove them wrong, and that the real answer is to engage them in debate.

But it doesn't really apply, because nobody's tongue was ripped out. The bigots have already migrated to another site, and they're doing just fine.

Shockingly, it doesn't look like the conversation going on over there in any way resembles an intellectually-honest debate on racial issues.

Arbitrary definitions of what gets banned and what doesn't, what makes Reddit worse and what doesn't. It won't work and in the long run you'll fight a never ending war to please everyone and end up pleasing nobody. How SRS didn't make the cut for a ban since it interferes in every Sub when Coontown was relatively contained is case in point.

[–]Mobre 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Can you explain the difference between these two?

We will Quarantine communities whose content would be considered extremely offensive to the average redditor.

and

we are banning a handful of communities that exist solely to annoy other redditers, prevent us from improving Reddit, and generally make Reddit worse for everyone else

and how /r/coontown applies to the latter rather than the former? Because it seems that the application of who is quarantined and who is banned overlap and is completely up to the arbitrary decision of the admin rather then an explicit and defined rule set.

Reddit isn't doing this to protect the users, they're doing this to protect the advertisers so they feel more comfortable being associated with a website like this. It's pretty simple. Why explain to your advertiser who doesn't understand Reddit, "But those subreddits, you choose to enter! It's not all bad" and give a huge explanation. Wouldn't you rather just say, "Reddit is a great place!" and not have to worry about bad subreddits?

Regarding Quarantining: Would you ever quarantine a large subreddit like /r/wtf?

A community will be Quarantined on Reddit when we deem its content to be extremely offensive or upsetting to the average redditor.

One could argue that the very gorey types of pictures that appear on /r/wtf would be pretty upsetting. I know I've accidentally clicked on /r/wtf images when I temporarily disabled my own RES filters, and honestly of all things on the site, some of the stuff there is more troubling to me than discriminatory self text posts.

Listing your methods of countermeasure against things violating your policy is all well and good, but it seems which things that qualify the use of said countermeasure is open to interpretation? Seeing as removing content and quarantining content are completely different things, how are you planning to distinguish between different rules of enforcement?

A community will be Quarantined on Reddit when we deem its content to be extremely offensive or upsetting to the average redditor or to ourselves.

Does this also mean that reddit is endorsing any subreddits they choose not to quarantine or ban, since they are now individually censoring subreddits?

/u/spez why haven't you banned /r/ShitRedditSays yet ? Don't they have a history of harassment ?

Today, in addition to applying Quarantines, we are banning a handful of communities that exist solely to annoy other redditors, prevent us from improving Reddit, and generally make Reddit worse for everyone else.

Great! When are SRD and SRS getting the boot?

Thanks for keeping us in the loop. It's important to me to be part of this conversation.

Really, why is /r/shitredditsays and /r/subredditdrama (basically srs in disguise) still accessible?

/u/spez why is /r/shitredditsays still up? this is nothing but a subreddit that brigades and attacks other users?

I hope that some day the rules will be upheld for ALL subs not just the politically incorrect ones.
