That individual user is breaking the site rules, so they're getting warnings and probably eventually banned. I'm not removing an entire sub because of the actions of a few individuals though. We will continue to warn/ban people advocating violence though

that guy is a provacateur trying to make incels look bad and get them all banned

Yes I realize it is a likely possibility, that's why we're focusing on banning the users and not the sub

I like the focus on the user, not the sub. Freedom of speech means some people will say things you don't like. Personally, the incel sub doesn't seem like my thing, so I don't go to it, but they can do their thing.

Weren't you guys talking about a possible mute button?

Yup, still in development. It's not an easy project at all so it's going to take a bit.

Yes, its a good move. False flagging in subs is a reddit 'topminds' go to staple.

You can't ban users unless you want to ban entire ip ranges.

Which we can do, and have done.

Oh yes, hasbara did this often. Espeically in holocaust revisionist forums. Revisionists do not deny Jews were executed and imprisoned, they simply are skeptical about gass chambers and thr 6 milion figure. But nooooo. Hasbara shills have to infiltrate the subs and spread absolute filth. Praising Hitler for killing Jews and advocating murder.

What a paradox.

Whatis violence though, that's that reddit started with, ans then went with promoting violence, then they said anything that might promote promoting violence is wrong. Such is said, either everything is okay or nothing is.

i got banned from reddit for saying 'Deus Vult'. as it was hate speech / promoting violence....

I see no reason for such absolutism. Saidit has much looser rules than reddit, and that won't change.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I think this rule should be specified on the mod/site rules thread for future discussions like this.

r/IncelTears (leftist, feminist subreddit. Most of the women are into polyamory, most of the men find it sexy that their wife has a laycount into the 40s. Many of the men are non-passing trans with a 5'oclock shadow) is a sub that hates incels so much for disagreeing with them that they false-flag us a lot.

Before we were kicked off Reddit, many IncelTears users would screenshot a "i wanna rape/murder" post, presumably from us, but the screenshot would reveal that they were the ones who made the post, i.e. "posted a few seconds ago" (they screenshotted it a second after posting it), or the post would have an upvote from them (when you make a post yourself, the upvote is implicit/default).

Now are there some nutjob incels? Sure. But if you have to DEMONIZE us to make a point then maybe you don't have as STRONG a point as you think!

Thanks for Saidit!
