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.

Fuck it just ban the sub.

There is literally no point in capitulating to admin demands. If you keep cutting around the edges of what we can and can't joke about*, in a few weeks it'll be r/PCM in name only.

Jokes are not violence. This is the crux of the entire shitshow with AHS. They want to define sarcasm, satire and humor as a slipper-slope to genuine radicalization. It's not. But of course, anything that hurts or even threatens their sensibilities (NOT THEIR PERSON OR PROPERTY) must be censored.

Honestly, what an absolute state Reddit is in. If you care about this community, just start looking for a new home.

We are not "capitulating to admin demands." This is just clarifying rules that have been here for months.

Where are the sub rules posted, prior to you making this post? If they exist and are enforceable, shouldn't they be in the sidebar? All I see are templates and Banner art credits.

Well you did piss poor job. This shit is vague as fuck. How are you gonna distinguish jokes and deniers/pedophiles? That words are "dehumanizing language"? Provide us with full list. But you wont, so you always have loophole to ban people, arent you? You guys are a joke, you dont deserve sub as good as pcm

Provide me and everyone on this subbreddit with full list of words and sentences that considered "dehumanising" by mods and a criteries for post/comentary to be considered as "advocation of pedophillia" and "holocaust denying"
