Upvoting violent content in "a certain timeframe" will now earn Reddit users a warning, and possibly worse in future.
  • Reddit has begun issuing warnings to users to regularly upvote violent content with a view to taking harsher action in future.
  • The company says that it will consider expanding this action to other forms of content in future.
  • Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.

    Funny enough, I just made this account after getting banned from reddit for reporting violent content. Apparently it constituted “abuse of the report button”, go figure.

      I got banned for telling a mod “spank spank spank. Thats the sound I make as I spank you. Yes yes yes. Thats the sound you make as I spank you.” And I don’t regret it
