News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

thats actually a wrong rumour , he was appointed mod of r/jailbait unknowingly , didnt mod jailbait , and anything.

he also wasnt it willingly. it was in a time when reddit was still young and allowed Moderator appointments.

we shouldnt spread lies.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Dude was a founder and admin of the site, allowed himself to be appointed, and allowed the sub to flourish. I think we’re grasping at straws here. But I get your sentiment about being honest.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

While he was appointed without his knowledge, he/reddit left that sub available for years without doing a thing while it was reported all of the time. So still a shitbag.

[–] TempleSquare 8 points 1 year ago

Agreed. There's enough factually terrible stuff Mr. Huffman does.

[–] teamevil 6 points 1 year ago

Spez is allowed to lie....

[–] ic33 4 points 1 year ago

We don't know that either way.

What we do know, for sure, is that he gave the moderator of /r/jailbait (and other NSFW reddits) a singular trophy, "pimp daddy" that no one else has been issued.

[–] Ghostalmedia 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, wasn’t he added as a mod by someone who was trolling?

[–] Chickenfinger225 75 points 1 year ago

He openly supported the head mod, even gave him a custom award.
