Cross Posting Confusion
Why do many moderators remove cross posted content from subreddits when Reddit sends frequent communications encouraging people to cross post to other relevant subreddits? Assuming the content does not violate that community's rules/policies, it seems counterintuitive that a moderator would remove a post solely because it was cross posted from another subreddit. I am curious to hear other moderators' thoughts on this. I'm tempted to contact Reddit because I've hit this road bump multiple times over the last three months. If Reddit encourages it, posts should not be removed because they are cross posted. If Reddit actually frowns on cross posting, they should stop sending communications to people telling them to cross post their content?
