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.
