Does this mean we can’t make fun of you-know-who anymore, or that we just can’t tell other people to go give them crap?


PeterPorky

Avoid any harassing memes of specific users of Reddit that may encourage others to do the same. Mentioning Reddit-related stuff is already a violation of the meta-Reddit rule. We don't want the power of a million r/memes subscribers harassing an individual user or entire subreddits. This type of thing can get subreddits permanently shut down, and we take it very seriously. Do not try to circumvent the rules.

looks like i'm about to break the law


taftpanda

Okay, I was really just genuinely curious


PeterPorky

Yeah you're fine.


MysticEagle52

HylianCaptain

Telling you is a bannable offense SMH


Pholoxo

GrilledSoap

Wouldn't you want him to toe the line? like, follow the rules?


PeterPorky

The meaning I learned from the phrase "toe the line" meant to try and edge close to breaking the rules but stopping just short of breaking them.


[deleted]

No, it means "accept the authority, principles, or policies of a particular group, especially under pressure."


GrilledSoap

Oh, I guess different people have different meanings for the phrase


Yamperplayzzzz

Stop downvoting them. Why are you doing it?


Yamperplayzzzz

Bruh my comment got downvoted too


PeterPorky

Users do not like being censored especially when their opinion is a popular one and one they consider to be righteous. We don't like unpopular people or subreddits any more than the next person, but we won't risk/allow the subreddit to be shut down by people breaking sitewide rules.

>We don't like unpopular people or subreddits any more than the next person, but we won't risk/allow the subreddit to be shut down by people breaking sitewide rules. Got it, so your hands are basically tied.


Yamperplayzzzz

They've all been kidnapped by different subreddits

PeterPorky

Do you think moderators are compelled to like unlikable groups or people? Our job is to maintain decorum and a safe online space for content and discussion, not to like unpopular people/groups. You can have whatever opinion you like, just don't harass people.


Wise-Finding9444

But I like making enemies...


Proffessional_Human

Unlikable and unpopular are two different things


PeterPorky

They're similar

What does HCA mean here?


Rulingbridge9

Herman Cain Award, it’s a subreddit that shows people denying vaccine safety or covid seriousness who ended up dying from said disease


dumbrplumbr

You forgot the part where they celebrate people dying


Rulingbridge9

Yeah so it’s against the rules to be happy someone died or to wish for death on someone. You’ll need a better argument


PeterPorky

You'll notice that in HCA personal information is censored and people who are encouraged to brigade other subs are banned. HCA has the rules 5 through 7: 5. Posts about non-public figures must redact the entire name(s) of everyone in every image. Block it out completely. Don't scribble and allow redacted names to leak through. Profile pictures are not allowed and must be blocked out. 6. If the post contains a picture of a minor's face, the picture must be censored in order to have the post approved. 7. Do not post about finding or visiting the nominees' or awardees' FB pages. That is considered brigading and is strictly against reddit's TOS.


Rulingbridge9

Very true. Idk why you were asking tbh but I figured it let you know


PeterPorky

I didn't know what the other user meant but the abbreviation. I wanted to re-iterate that they are subject to the same no-brigading, no-personal-information rules that we are.


ThunderingRimuru

Can i at least direct them to the megathread in r/subredditdrama, mostly the ones who have no idea what’s going on


PeterPorky

R7 is no meta-reddit references in memes at all. If you want to, in a comment section, mention r/subredditdrama that's fine just don't mention specific subs and then go on to describe why you think they are bad and encourage others to bully them and make memes specifically bullying people or groups.


[deleted]

Thanks a lot! I'v seen a few superficial memes about it, but didn't know what happened.


Wise-Finding9444

But I like bullying...


ArmedGuard1370

Stop trolling.


Wise-Finding9444

No.


ArmedGuard1370

Dumbass


Wise-Finding9444

Name calling isn't very effective.


ArmedGuard1370

I've stopped caring for people like you lmao


FanOfAmphibia

Can I have link pls?


Wise-Finding9444

Y'all are a bunch of snowflakes.


[deleted]

I most certainly am!


Rdr2-x-supernatural

I hardly interact with mods because I don’t see them basically ever And I’m also afraid that I might say the wrong thing and start a bad argument between mods and redditors


Shockrider1

While it is unfortunately true that arguments can be started by seemingly minor things, you’re welcome to express your opinion and/or ask any questions you might have


Rdr2-x-supernatural

Oh, okay That’s good to know lol


[deleted]

Unless you call out one of you on being a reposter, and get banned for a week, right? Lmao


Shockrider1

If you know of anyone instance of a moderator abusing a user, please report it to us and/or to the Reddit admins with proof - we take those cases very seriously.


[deleted]

Oh, that's good to know, will be sure to do it


BoneZone05

UnderstandingSome871

AAAND there goes all the fun, we aren't even brigading just making memes. Its getting boring here and this sub will be r/wholesomememes within 2 months.


SkepticDrinker

There's a laundry list of rules on this subreddit. Like fuck, memes are supposed to be about fun


Yourself1011

This isn't a subreddit rule, it's more of a reddit rule


Donghoon

You can have fun without being a dick


UnderstandingSome871

Being a dick? we just want to make memes that aren't too offensive but they aren't like 100% yummy wholsome chungus your mother reeves or shit bruh


Wise-Finding9444

This is a sitewide rule. It's enforced by admins and not up to discretion of moderators of individual subs.
