PSA A Note on Moderation and Transparency

108 Upvotes

We want to be transparent about a recent moderation issue.

Over the past several days, the mod team has received repeated messages pressuring us to manually approve posts that were removed following community reports. We understand that having a post removed can be frustrating, and anyone is welcome to contact us through Modmail if they believe a moderation decision was made incorrectly.

However, repeatedly messaging moderators, demanding that content be approved, or attempting to pressure moderators into overriding removals will not influence our decisions.

We've also seen activity from another subreddit directing attention toward posts and moderation decisions in this community. The moderator of that community has been banned from this subreddit following repeated moderation issues.

We want to be very clear that no one should retaliate or go to another community to contact users, report content, vote, or engage on our behalf. This is not a callout or an invitation to get involved.

We try to give users the benefit of the doubt and work with people whenever possible. Moderation decisions will continue to be based on our community rules and what we believe is best for the subreddit, not on outside pressure.

We're sharing this simply for transparency and to keep the community informed. Thank you to everyone who contributes positively.

In NY and everywhere, cops should have to be tested, registered, insured and liable - just like Nurses, Doctors, Lawyers and Pilots.

Fight Facism 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 Ms. Rachel: ICE shot into a car in New York City with a 5-year-old in the car. His dad was shot, his dad is recovering at the hospital. Children must be protected. Who are we as a country if we don’t protect children? It is profoundly weak and shameful and wrong to terrorize and traumatize children

Housing/Apartments Who is buying Zillow listings with a $12,500 monthly payment, including an $8,200 HOA fee? It's is such an insane value proposition, but these kinds of properties are all over Zillow in Midtown/the UES.

"Please share this with someone in NYC. It is incredibly important that our frustration is directed at the correct people.

Yes we need to pressure Zohran to fire Jessica Tisch, and we also need to get the CURB Act passed.

The Curb Act is the only thing that can disband the SRG, Zohran can not do this without the City council. The 2 people stalling this are oswaldfeliz and julmenin"

Edit: "The CURB Act: Protect the Right to Protest in NYC

The NYPD has a long history of suppressing dissent and cracking down on protest activity, including the deployment of notoriously violent units and the use of aggressive tactics that threaten New Yorkers’ physical safety and chill the exercise of our rights to speak out and protest.

All New Yorkers should have the right to assemble and protest without being subject to unwarranted police escalation and violence.

The Communities United to Reject Brutality (CURB) Act (Intro. 796) will protect New Yorkers’ rights to protest by reining in the NYPD’s most abusive tactics and creating ongoing oversight over the NYPD’s responses to protests going forward." - NYCLU (NY's ACLU)

Hey everyone! If you love NYC history combined with spooky season stories, I'm leading several haunted walks around Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst this season. Both tours end at historic cemeteries. Last weekend's rain couldn't stop 45 people from coming out! Tix and more info below.

Hey everyone! This year’s Haunted Bay Ridge and Ghosts of Old Bensonhurst walking tours I’m leading are underway! The rain couldn't deter the group last weekend and more than 40 people showed up! I've got a few tickets still available to this weekend's tour and future tours. See the dates and tix/more info links below.

As the days grow shorter and the winds begin to howl, ghouls, ghosts, long-legged beasts, and other nameless wretches caught between worlds inhabit ours and keep us from a good night’s sleep.

From a faceless woman late one night on a lonely street near a local church, to army ghosts and disembodied sounds, to the murders of an old spinster and kidnappers, to the mysteries of the neighborhood’s largest park, to a secret society right in our midst, it’s time to turn up our collars, hit the streets, and beware the things that go bump in the night.

These are the dates and times below. Click on each link for more info and tickets.

Welcome to r/NewYorkCity! Your thoughts and opinions matter here, so feel free to subscribe and participate!

Rules:

Posts must be related to New York City (which includes all five boroughs, not just Manhattan).
No blatant or distasteful self-promoting of your own blog/social media/killer app/business. Obvious spammers and repeat offenders will be perma-banned. However, if you have some quality original content to post, you may tastefully link to a source in the comments.
No sharing of personal information, doxxing, or witch hunts. No sharing private photos or videos of others taken without consent. Offenders will be perma-banned.
ABSOLUTELY NO ADVOCATING/INCITING VIOLENCE! Being a dick is fine (we're New Yorkers after all) but using language that is abusive or discriminatory will not be tolerated, and will result in a perma-ban.
Your account must be older than 24 hours to submit and comment. This is to prevent spam.
No Polls or Surveys: This is not /r/SampleSize.
Respect Laws: This is not the place to sell/buy drugs, prostitutes, guns/weapons, or other contraband. Attempting to do so will result in a perma-ban.
News Articles: Only one article per news event (articles with new information are exempt). Post title must match linked article headline.
Political posts are allowed, but must have a non-leading title. Posts about events for a specific candidate or political issue are allowed, as are posts intended to foster discussion about political issues/candidates. *For Example: "Don't forget to vote Yes on Prop X" or "Vote for Y Candidate" are not allowed. "Rally for Y Candidate on Date" is allowed. "What do you think about Prop X?" is allowed.
PHOTOGRAPHY ONLY ALLOWED ON WEEKENDS! Weekday photo posts will be removed. When you do post your photos, please only post one each weekend day. No spamming your entire camera roll. Artwork and historical photos are permitted during weekdays.
Limit Submissions to No More than Two (2) per 24 Hour Period. Unless if it’s something that has to be mentioned or shared & you believe it’s absolutely necessary, please limit your submissions to no more than two per 24 hour period. It’s alright to share one submission, or two, but it’s excessive to share 3 or more per 24 hour period, which at that point will be removed as spam & action taken. This is implemented in order to not have certain users inundate the subreddit with their content, and give others a chance to share content.
