Upvoting violent content in "a certain timeframe" will now earn Reddit users a warning, and possibly worse in future.
  • Reddit has begun issuing warnings to users to regularly upvote violent content with a view to taking harsher action in future.
  • The company says that it will consider expanding this action to other forms of content in future.
  • Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.

    I ve gotten banned for reporting violent content, and also for inciting violence the same month, the ban for reports was something very stupid like harassing mods, person I reported was just straight up advocating for violence, while me advocating for violence was “I dont think h1b visas help americans, college grads are already struggling to get relevant jobs, one thing I agree with some conservatives on” (in the conservative sub, funny enough most of them were against it day 1, by day 2 they were all for it on that sub, think trump had also said his support by then)
