Well by poking the bear like this, you're kind of putting yourself in the crosshairs, no? If you don't like their content/style, there is a handy "mute sub" button, which hides it from your "all" or "new".

Other things you can do is refrain from engaging with their comments on other subs, report them if they really don't adhere to the PoD, or simply use your innate power to not need others to be a certain way and move along, modeling respectful relating in your own way.

Magnora7 and d3rr do not turn a blind eye, they are exceedingly generous in their desire to keep this site as open as possible. People are given quite a lot of chances and suggestions before they are banned, as it should be, imo. No matter what they do, they get criticized--yet they are doing a stellar job balancing freedom of expression with the limitations of international law and the site's stated guidelines.

They are breaking several of site-wide rules. Unchecking form /s/All and hiding in a sub doesn't exempt anyone. Spilling their shit onto other subs is beyond the limits IMO.

Reports only go to mods, not admins, and if the mod is the offensive author then...

I agree M7D3 are doing a great job on many many levels. And they will be fairly and unfairly criticized. No one made them take on this epic venture. It's also our job as a community to help them. I think this is a fantastic post, to help the admins, to help the community, and to help SaidIt become better and maybe clearer.

I didn't know that, that makes a big difference. Edit: accidental misinfo

My post wasn't to criticize OP, I've just noticed that poking the bear usually makes one a target for abuse in return, and in addition to official channels, one can at least limit one's interaction with unwanted content.

Generally I don't care about negative comments.

They're there whether you said something complimentary, critical, or not, whether you want them or not.

I try to only respond if compelled to, usually to compliment, contribute, or correct.
