I am seeing a rise in posts in which the only relation to men's rights issues is the title that the OP has chosen to create.

We have very clear rules about these kinds of posts. If the link itself isn't directly related to men's rights but you have a point that you want to make using that link, you need to make a self post justifying the relationship. The information can't just be in the title.

This rule has been around for years, so it shouldn't be new to anyone. It is in the sidebar even.

r/MensRights has been making it to r/all recently. The admins are changing that. They have created a new filter called "popular", which excludes "A handful of subreddits that were heavily filtered out of users’ r/all"

Based on their rule set, they have created a huge list of subs that are included. r/MensRights is not, despite our subscriber count being higher than some of the others.

Just thought people would like to know.

The previous post about this is 10 days old. I thought it important to make another one and use caps to try to get people's attention. There is 2 days left to donate. I know this is a tough time of year to donate, since everyone overspent at Christmas, but it is a really important cause!

Please contribute if you can!

This is a controversial issue, and I know that a lot of people are either excited by or mortified by the recent election.

Regardless of your opinion, posts that have a direct relevance to men's rights are allowed on this sub. But if your post is just purely political, then you should be posting it in a political subreddit.

If you believe that an issue has relevance to men's rights that is not immediately obvious, you can create a text post that argues your point of view and includes the link you want to share.

I am seeing a lot of links with the new domain code things (I forget what they are called) that are literally copy-paste articles of popular posts from the subreddit. Some bot is going around the subreddit(s), taking old popular links, copying the content, and then reposting it on a new site.

The big problem with this is that the new site has very shady advertising. Any click ANYWHERE on the article opens a new window with some shady-as-shit advertisement that wants me to download something.

So... anyone have any ideas?

I have been noticing a growing effort of Youtube accounts that steal material and repost it to try to gain income, and news-like sites that steal articles. Many of the latter also have links to scams and other nefarious sites.

Once upon a time, this sub was mostly devoid of these. A few repost blogs were in play, but we talked to them and either they changed or they were banned. Now it is getting out of hand.

Please help us watch for these! While the content may be good, I would rather if people find the original and post that. You see something that looks scam-spam-bot-like, report it and then find the original and post THAT to reap that sweet, sweet karma for yourself!

Well, we read all of the replies to the thread about false accusations, and we debated in the mod channels and we realized that the solution proposed had some merit but also some problems.

First off, it only solved one issue and there are many others.

Second, it would be very difficult to enforce and could lead to disagreements between users and the mods.

After a lot of debate, we boiled the issue down to the flair. The problem really lies with the flair. As a result, we are considering updating the flair. Here are the newly propose categories:

Red Flair:
Activism
Injustice <---- Would include malicious false accusations, male discrimination in justice system
Health/Ed

Lately, the quality of many posts has been going downhill. People are posting meme images and other low effort content in higher numbers. More than that, there has been a significant increase in the editorialization of the post titles and claims about articles. Since most people read the titles, but few people read the articles, this editorialization is a huge manipulation of the reddit system.

While many people have called for changes to our moderation to account for this, the only one change we are willing to make at this time is in regards to False Accusation posts. Right now I am PROPOSING this change, but the moderation team is STRONGLY favouring it. Unless a very solid argumen

Hey all. So YouTube personality, Shoe0nHead, has agreed to do an AMA on Friday. We are really excited for this, and I hope that you will all participate. The more participation, the higher the visibility, and this is a great way to have an interesting conversation AND promote awareness about topics like DV against men.

Mark this in your calendars!

Time: Around 2-5pm PST. The exact time isn't perfectly fixed, but it will be in that range. When I know exactly the time, I will post it.
