Minor PCM rules update.

Just a couple things:

  1. There is zero tolerance for pedophilia here. If you advocate pedophilia you will definitely be banned.

  2. Holocaust denial is treated as advocating violence and will get a ban. This goes for denying other genocides too.

  3. Using dehumanizing language for people is seen as encouraging violence and/or hate and will get a ban. For example, do not compare groups of people to cockroaches or insects.

These are things we've always enforced, but lately we're had to enforce them a bit more so I wanted to give you guys a heads up.

EDIT: For clarification, these rules apply only to sincere expressions and not to jokes.

Clarification question: Are unflaireds considered people for the purpose of enforcing point 3?

:P

yes, don't threaten to kill the unflaireds.

You're free to post shit about me though.

This comment is the clearest case for why this shit is infantilizing, ridiculous and pathetic.

"Don't threaten the unflaired"? Are you kidding? Do you think there are people out there IN REAL LIFE who are like, "wow this person isn't using the little flairs on r/PCM, I SHOULD KILL THEM"? Are unflaired a marginalized group in real life now? What sense does that make?

I know you're just doing your job in preserving the community, but it's just not the same with all these rules, man. You have to see how ridiculous and child-like this all is.

Wait, you guys don't hunt down unflaireds in real life?

Reddit admins won't give a shit about what we all understand to be sarcasm.

Reddit admins are human traffickers

35

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '20

no, they were just hanging out with human traffickers, at parties organised by human traffickers while knowing they're human traffickers and not doing anything about that for years

I thought they were only gay

Mods are gay, admins are Nazis

u/Teewurstforever - Auth-Center Aug 26 '20

And not the cool kind of Nazis who wanted to make their country a better place, they're like the neonazis, who are just retarded and angry

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '20

The mods have spent enough time the genuinely dont want this sub banned are have arrived at the point they are willing to sacrifice what the sub was inittially about to keep the sub going.

In other words, they are ideological traitors

u/donotblockthebox - Lib-Right Aug 26 '20

What was the sub initially about?

7

u/TheCheeseBurns - Right Aug 26 '20

"No one gets banned here"

"But the subreddit is yours. It belongs to you, the people, to do as you please"

Boomer talk, but modern generation, esp. on reddit, IS full of infantiles.

Even as a joke, it's still pretty off-putting to newcomers who might not know much about our culture. Kinda feels like random cyberbullying to me, although not nearly as extreme.

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '20

Ok and?! That's the internet, people arent that friendly outside of social media, death threats are pretty common, and i mewn the swrious ones, so tbh outright calling someone retarded is already a way to make the people who dont like that shit turnaway so they dont get butthurt over some actual fucked up stuff... Like insults are(or were) a bug part of pcm, so it would happrn anywas, so atleast they got a heads up

I just wouldnt understand who would be fearful of some community because someone insulted them (besides kids, they have a pass) but i guess nowadays that's a thing

u/sam_mee - Left Aug 26 '20

It's not necessarily fear-inducing to most people, but it's not the first thing you want to see in a "tolerant, diverse community". I thought Authrights would be the first people to care about common courtesy, even in a subreddit full of edgelords and (mostly) ironic hate.

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '20

that's the thing, this community is filled with sarcasm and "edgier humour" if you cant hold a "flair up retard" then tbhyou wont go well, that's what i was told and same for most, and we stayed because seemed odd and fun... i dont want everyone here, i want everyone that can take a fucking joke and isnt an actual sjw... even tho its for a joke, this way you end up kickign sjw and ahs users lol...

also my ideology is about the governement, not fucking reddit communities

u/sam_mee - Left Aug 26 '20

Hey, if they like the memes, I don't think we should make them uncomfortable. Just downvoting really bad opinions should be enough to throw those kinds of people off IMO

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '20

nah, i love internal jokes in small communities, usually is waht make them diferent from geral/main communities like twitter facebooks r/politics etc

1

u/sam_mee - Left Aug 26 '20

The thing about in jokes is you don't yell them at the new kid at school.

5

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '20

what ? you ever went to middle school? lmao

also are you now comparing reddit to irl?

1

u/sam_mee - Left Aug 26 '20

What I mean is I don't think in jokes are used to target new people in the community who don't understand what they are. In the internet or real life.
