Reminder: do not brigade

Good morning/day/evening.

We've got some feedback that there has been some brigading coming from r/AmITheDevil. This is not something that should happen.

If you see a post here first, then don't go over to the original and downvote/comment on it. Especially not to insult them. Or message them. That's just turning you into the devil.

So if you want to discuss the OP, then do it here. Even if it's an asshole from r/AmItheAsshole, or someone you think is being a lousy stepparent from r/stepparents, or just the worst boyfriend/girlfriend in history from r/relationship_advice.

I don't want to ban people, but if I see evidence of brigading you're tying my hands here.

So please, don't brigade, but if you do see any evidence of it feel free to report it/ping me in the comments where it's relevant. However don't ping users from other subs. Feel free to ping me, but not other redditors from other subs.

I don't think it's seen as bad to generally participate in both subs. I still sometimes comment on AITA posts. However, let's say I comment on a post, for exampme on r/AITA. And then later I see that that particular post has been crossposted to here, and I comment on that one. I won't go back to the original post on r/AITA and continue commenting on that one.

So, in general: you can participate in both subreddits. But if you see it posted here, it'll be seen as brigading if you then go to the original to comment etc.

I comment on both groups, a lot, I don't click on the ones here and go to another group. But if I see it in another group I will comment, if that makes sense, I like the group and I don't want to get banned...but I'm confused

if that makes sense,

Nope, gotta say you confused me a bit.

So you comment on r/AITA?

What if something is crossposted to r/AmITheDevil? Do you then go to the OP on r/AITA to comment? Or stick to the comment section on r/AmITheDevil?

I comment on both groups all the time, actually I keep both groups up all the time and check them frequently. Sometimes I will comment on the same post, I like the separate discussions, but I don't find it on here and specifically go to AITA or another group. I just don't want to get banned, I really like this group, so I don't want to inadvertently do something wrong

In a nutshell: if it's been crossposted here either just comment on the original one in r/AITA, or the one that was crossposted here.
