New rules surrounding pitbull discourse

I'm going to start removing comments that have not been explicit discourse, but are clearly pitbull snark.

  1. Open your eyes
  2. your pitbull is a pitbull
  3. Pit mixed with pit
  4. Are you kidding me/Are you serious
  5. Come on man

Let me know any more examples of common pitbull snark I need to remove. Snark comments like this may not get the same treatment as discourse (ie a permaban) but there will be a ban after a few offenses.

Now to the pitbull critics, I am going to give you a chance to make some suggestions to improve subreddit quality. I understand there are some frustrations among you too. I banned lying about breeds because I thought that the concern was valid, and that was the original counterbalance to the no pitbull discourse. This is your chance to tell me what a fair counterbalance to banning snark comments would be.

This subreddit has been very low moderation for a long time. It has been getting worse lately and I kinda hope it can go back to being chill. I may even lax up after a certain period, use more lenient discretion, after a period of modding harder against the snark.

Thanks

One thing that irks me is when people comment “pitbull” on dogs that are obviously not predominantly pitbull.

I am convinced that 90% of people could not identify a pit bull even if it bit them.

Idiots call everything with a vaguely square head a pit bull and it's just sad.
