Hey all, we’ve been seeing a trend of certain posts and comments being removed by Reddit admin and wanted to get ahead of it before it becomes a problem! We’ve attached some of the recently removed posts and comments as examples.

1) It seems that direct mentions of Jeremiah’s wife are being reported for bullying and harassment, so for now, if everyone could refer to S and D as initials or nicknames, that would be helpful. 

Example: See first screenshot of a comment Reddit removed, just because of the name mentioned. 

2) When writing comments, please \*do not\* write them as if you’re directly addresssing S or D. That falls pretty firmly under Reddit’s anti-bullying rules, and while we’ve been able to do it without issue until now, we’re going to have to change it up (at least for now). 

Example: See second screenshot for an example of what was removed. Lots was redacted to stop the post from being removed again, but we tried to leave enough to show the phrasing that seems to be problematic)

You can still say the exact same things you want to in your comments, but instead of saying “\[name\], \*\*\*you are\*\*\* such an \[XYZ\]”, just write it as “\[nickname\] \*\*\*is being\*\*\* such an \[XYZ\]”. It seems like a small switch, but it changes the statement from direct harassment/bullying to commentary. 

3) We also want to remind you all that Reddit is very, very strict about violence and hypothetical violence - we’ve seen comments removed by Reddit’s Anti-Evil Operations for very simple things (screenshot of an example is added to the post).

Hopefully with these few changes we’ll be back to following TOS and not having posts removed! We’re not trying to bend the rules, but to work within the rules we’re given to help keep the subreddit up. 😊

If anything changes, we’ll make sure to let you all know!

Thanks for being amazing subreddit members and for making this snarky community a good place to be!

\*\*The TL;DR of the changes\*\*

\- Please use nicknames or initials to refer to the subjects of the subreddit. 

\- Please phrase comments in third person as opposed to directly toward the subject of the subreddit. 

Example: 

❌ \[Name\] \*\*\*you are\*\*\* such an \[XYZ\]

✅ \[Nickname\] \*\*\*is being\*\*\* such an \[XYZ\]

\- Please avoid violence and hypothetical violence in your posts and comments.
