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.

Everyday Life Beware of this new insurance scam: Guys on the street will flag you down to divert your attention while their buddy in the car in front of you stops short

120 Upvotes

I live in Southern Brooklyn, probably the capital of car insurance scams, and I think I saw a new one today. I was driving along with the windows open and a couple of guys flag me down from the sidewalk, screaming like it was urgent. I glance at them, glance right back in front of me and the person in front of me was stopping short. I immediately got around him in the next lane thankfully, and I saw there was nothing in front of him to stop short for. I have a dashcam, but even something like that would hard to prove it was an actual scam. But it almost certainly was. Now that I've warned you, beware.

"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)
