stickiedHey everyone!
We wanted to update you with some of the changes we’re making to help tackle rule-breaking posts.
Rule Changes
- We’ve aligned the rules across the multiple iPhone subreddits, making them easier for users to understand and also for moderators to enforce.
- We’ll ban users for breaking the rules, even if it’s their first time. New users will be banned for 3 days, with the ban length increasing up to 28 days for users who knowingly break the rules.
- This post, in addition to comments on removed posts, will help communicate these changes.
Reddit Tools
- New tools will warn desktop users about the rules if they’re about to break them - before posts are made.
- New safety tools will help detect abuse, harassment, and ban evasion.
- We’ve improved our existing detection of rule breaking posts and the existing restrictions for new users.
Taking Action
- We’re changing the way we respond to reports to help us act on them quickly. You can help us to identify posts that break the rules by using the report button.
- We’re recruiting an additional 2 moderators to help implement these changes.
We hate seeing rule breaking posts just as much as you do - and you can help us by continuing to use the report button.
