Centipedes,

WE ARE THE WINNING TEAM. IT PISSES PEOPLE OFF. GOOD.

As you know, we are always under attack. In fact, everything we stand for - common sense - has been under attack for years now. We are attacked by the media, by the PC Police, on college campuses and physically in the streets.

The reason Trump is winning is that he has the courage to say enough is enough. The reason we are winning Reddit is that we do the same.

We are beating the millions of fascist liberals by using their own tactics against them. On this site, it is as clear as daylight.

We are winning now. And they hate it.

WE DO NOT ALLOW CONCERN TROLLING. WE NEVER HAVE. NEVER WILL.

Some of you know why we have Rule 8 in place. Some of you do not. All of you will understand it now.

Examples of concern trolling

• "Mods here should really stop changing the stickies so often!"
• "We need to stop upvoting memes that make us look bad"
• "Why are we not reaching out to Berniebros? Seriously, we should make threads about it right now!"
• "I'm a Trump supporter, but ..."
• 99.9% of things that start with "You guys", "hear me out" or "don't downvote, but..."
• "We will lose the election, if ... [something that "needs" to change on r/The_Donald]"

You get the picture. They beg for compromise. They will never give us an inch, they just want to split us apart. This is a game we do not play.

If I were a shill, I'd also try to get us to fight each other. Don't fight centipedes.

• Concern trolling is any act that gets us fighting each other. It can be very easy to see and it can be very hard to see.

• It comes from good people and it comes from bad people. A lot of the time, an instigator will leave a concern and good centipedes will get caught in it.

• It all leads to the same result: low energy. In-fighting. Riling up the mob.

Deport anything you think might be concern trolling. We'll take care of it. We have a lot of experience.

We have a system in place that effectively kill bad concern trolls and open communication with centipedes

"Message modmail with your concerns. Don't use the mob".

We don't say this for fun. Shills don't message modmail, because they do not care about the sub. They just want us fighting.

Real centipedes message modmail with their suggestions and concerns. Not the mob.

We enforce this system. Rigorously.

We ban concern trolls who are not part of our community. That is the harshest punishment we have.

We also ban centipedes who concern troll - but just for a day or two. This is to make sure everyone understands we mean it and we mean it seriously, but it's a small slap on the wrist.

We can tell the difference. Let us know through hitting the deport button.

SUMMING UP:

• Concern trolling is an insidious attack that begs for compromise - we don't compromise.
• We're smarter than the shills; deport any concern trolling.
• We would love to hear from you guys in modmail if you have suggestions and concerns.
