for the nuances of these rules, please read the expanded ruleset

Remember - all judgment is left at moderator discretion.

  • Do not post, link to, or ask for personal information
  • No trolling, hate speech, or using slurs
  • Do not insult other users, make personal attacks, flamewar, or flame bait
  • Do not /u/ summon users from linked threads
  • Do not vote or comment in threads you've found through SRD
  • Novelty accounts are not welcome in /r/SubredditDrama
  • Off-topic grandstanding will be removed
  • We enforce the spirit of the rules, not the letter

When in doubt about a rule, please read the rules wiki, or message us for clarification.

Users who break rules may receive a warning via PM or a distinguished comment. You may be warned for rule offenses instead of banned, but certain offenses are ban-on-sight, and all bans are up to the mod's discretion.

Linking

  • NEW: Surplus drama topics are self-post only
  • Any submissions must use the No Participation domain. The only exceptions to this rule are when you link to /r/me_irl, /r/cringeanarchy and /r/AdviceAnimals. If you are not familiar with how to use NP, please read this
  • Do not use [brackets] in your titles. The only exception is for [Meta] posts, [Classic] posts, and [Recap] Posts. Everything else will be removed.
  • Avoid bias and do not submit drama you have commented in. Only post links if you are not the source of drama or directly involved in the drama. Remain as neutral as possible; biased titles/self posts are grounds for deletion
  • SRD is not a call-out subreddit. If your post points out bad behavior more than it does drama, it will be removed.
  • When submitting drama do not link to the full comments. Instead link directly to the comment tree containing the drama. Use ?context when appropriate. See here for more information.

Edited and Updated version
Locked threads, brigading and conspiracy theories - buckle up and grab your popcorn.

> Background

Following the Syrian civil war and the rise of Islamic State there has been a lot of refugees of war seeking shelter. This has caused an influx of migrants to nearby countries and with it associated political drama. /r/Europe, /r/worldnews and other relevant subs and been a hotbed of immigration posts. Tensions have been rising but it was only gunpowder. The spark was yet to come.

> The Attacks

On New Years Eve in Cologne there were a series of sexual assaults of women by men of reportedly Arab or North African appearance. The scale of the event shocked Germany and the news quickly spread across European news outlets. Unfortunately the delay between German reporting and English language stories meant that many people putting stories through Google translate saw "a crowd of 1,000 people" as "a group of 1,000 Arabs".
Full the full story here's a BBC news article on the event.

> The Reaction

The part we're actually here for: the drama...on subreddits

/r/worldnews

Multiple submissions were made from various news outlets to the sub, with all of them at first being deleted under 'Not Appropriate Subreddit'. Seeing as sexual assault isn't usually world news material their deletion was understandable but equally, given the ethnicity of the perpetrators, there will be wider consequences making it world news. Users reacted to the deletions angrily and when submissions finally made it through the comments became a nuked grave. /pol/ has been descending on Reddit threads wherever it can on this issue so threads have been either exploding with comments or being nuked and locked.
As expected, Breitbart has now written an article on the mass deletions (/r/conservative thread for reference).

/r/outoftheloop

It's spilled over to /r/outoftheloop where, as of now, the top comment is telling users that /r/conservative or /pol/ is the best place to discuss this. Any dissenting comments are being downvoted and claims of SJW, failed multiculturalism and conspiracies are ripe. It's likely the thread will be nuked when more mods wake up so here's an archive.
Minor slapfight over whether it's a race issue.

/r/undelete

As linked earlier /r/undelete has been covering the /r/worldnews submission deletions and users are getting very pissed at moderators and even acusations of shilling are appearing. This thread is more of a /r/circlejerk than a drama fest but people are still pretty angry and it's worth looking at for some perspective on this event.

/r/KotakuInAction

KiA is now covering the story. There's an extensive wall of text between two users battling each other over whether Islam is inherantly violent. Further down there's an even more extensive wall of text between two users arguing over the Western Roman Empire.

> The Future

We've caught this in it's early stages so there's plenty of time to speculate, munch popcorn and watch this unfold. I look forward to being able to edit this as each new thread on /r/outoftheloop, /r/conservative, /r/europe, /r/undelete, /r/worldnews and /r/european add to what will likely be some of the top drama of 2016. And it's barely even January!
If you spot any extra drama yet me know and I'll add it!
