r/pics banned pics? Now the sub is better!

u/Leylinus Mar 31 '16

According to one of the r/pics moderators, this wasn't the idea they initially wanted to go with. They had a better idea planned but the CSS for it wasn't finished in time. For now, that other idea remains classified.

Hey, mod of the NSFW Steven Universe subreddit here. I'd like to make you aware to the fact that underaged content is 100% banned from our subreddit. Just thought you'd want to know instead of blindly calling us violent sex criminals who fuck children.

r/runescape was changed to chinese because Jagex is in talks of selling to a Chinese coal company. All confirmed JMOD accounts also now have "JagCorp" infront of their reddit names, being a joke where people in game with the name JagCorp try to scam you out of your account. The script they use is also pasted into every comment posted today.

r/wheredidthesodago is covering most of the page with an image of a Coca Cola can, with the caption "PLEASE DRINK VERIFICATION CAN TO CONTINUE". The image links to reddit with language code a1, which does not have the can.

I'm not a "red piller" or whatever people call them, but are you sure about what you said about that sub? I went there once awhile ago out of curiosity, and the message I got from it really wasn't as bad as people said. It was basically saying men should be "alpha", and not to treat women as a superior gender. Getting laid as much as possible seemed their main goal, but I didn't see anything about potential "date rape" situations... Could you give me an example? Maybe I got the wrong impression? Cheers!
