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.

Spilling their shit onto other subs is beyond the limits IMO.

so because a few, or even a lot of users are doing this you're painting all the sub's users with the same brush? there are users on the sub that even the other users can't stand. who's to say the ones you're complaining about aren't the same ones we'd complain about? if it's individual users causing a problem, deal with those users. I'm not sure what the sub-saidit has to do with them other than being one of the subs they frequent.

To be clear, individual who are "spilling their shit onto other subs" is what I meant. I wasn't intending to attack entire subs.

Attacking subs is easy but largely ineffectual. Dealing with individuals is more difficult.
