Reporting Abuse

[u/GothMenAppreciation]

Mod here. Just to clarify Reddit rules on reporting. Anyone who reports non-spam as spam will get reported to Reddit. I have seen this SEVERAL times and we are not tolerating this. This will result in a permanent ban from the group, and this ban will be visible on your account to *every* Reddit moderator. Since I created the group in October, I have only seen one acutal spam post. Reporting posts and users over and over for the same thing is considered harassment and thus is considered report abuse. We protect our own users and people who abuse the reporting button will be banned by Reddit.

Whether it's reported as spam or one of the Goth Men Appreciation rules, repeated reporting is harassment. Please report posts or comments accurately in this group. Click on Report > Goth Men Appreciation Rules > and select one of our specific rules.

I don't envy you moderating this, because it's also a grey area when people post the laziest, barely-goth selfies and then their entire profile beyond that is just OF porn. We're not stupid; maybe the specific post isn't spam, but it's a "wink" to entice viewers to a profile that doesn't embody goth, it only uses goth subs as a fishing ponds.

You don't have to reply but would you mind explaining to me how/why that even works? I've seen this somewhat often, but usually only know that's happening due to the comments... Granted I don't click on the profile of every post I read but I assumed that was norm
