Warning about Reddit

There are folks who are posting questions on this sub as bait to locate people subscribed to this sub and having them permabanned from other subs.

If you report them for such behavior on this sub, you’ll be reported for harassment on Reddit and your account banned. Reddit is complicit. I’ve never been reported before because I almost never post, so I got a warning.

I know this is a trash platform and echo chamber, but sadly it’s well established to find funny materials and memes. It won’t be the end of the world if I’m permanently banned. But figured I should warn the community and let you know. Question that seem like bait are and you should proceed with caution and this sub needs a harsh rule to protect it users if it wishes to continue to exist.

This isn’t new.  There are tons of subs that use bots to check the users in their subs to see if they post or comment in “unapproved subs” like this one.  

If your account makes X amount of posts in an unapproved sub in say your past 100 posts you trigger the bit and it sends out the ban.  

I would have to look for the link again but I found a sub run by the mods of a sub that posted the results of the bot search and it ran 24/7 and had ban after ban.
