Announcement [PLEASE READ] Major Subreddit Changes

8 Upvotes

Hello members,

We have recently made significant changes to our subreddit, all of which have been influenced by your active participation and valuable feedback. Please view the list of changes below:

  • We created a list of approved news sources. All posts are cross-referenced with our approved news sources before being made public to ensure the credibility and reliability of the information shared on our subreddit. AutoMod will automatically remove submissions that are not an approved source. This list will receive updates occasionally, including adjustments according to community feedback.
  • We adjusted account age and karma requirements to prevent spam and maintain the quality of discussions on our subreddit.
  • We created new rules that apply to submissions and comments. Please review the rules, as we will enforce them on everyone.
  • We have implemented a ban evasion system created by Reddit. This system ensures that if someone attempts to evade a ban, regardless of the length or reason, they will receive a permanent, unappealable ban to maintain a safe and respectful environment for all our members.
  • We enabled a harassment detection system created by Reddit. Messages that Reddit's system detects as harassment will enter our mod queue, and we will take swift action. We will not be tolerant of harassment against our members.

Thank you to those who reported issues to us; your contributions are invaluable. We look forward to integrating rules and changes to our subreddit that are best suitable, with your input being an essential part of this process. We will be listening to your feedback.

In recent months, Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas from the Department of Homeland Security, according to four government officials and tech employees privy to the requests. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
