Hello everyone.

It's been a hell of a year so far, and we hope you're all staying safe to the best of your ability. More or less every organization and business out there is having to make adjustments (or halt operations entirely) because of the current pandemic, and Reddit is no exception. An update has been made to the reporting form site-wide (straight from the horse's mouth here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/g21ub7/misinformation_and_covid19_what_reddit_is_doing/) to discourage the spread of incorrect, out-of-date, or potentially malicious information regarding COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2.

This button on the report form is specifically for bad info on COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2. Please do not use it in lieu of the other reporting buttons for bad faith or dismissive responses. Incorrect answers about non-pandemic topics are not "Misinformation" in this specific context, and should be met with a downvote and a constructive correction, not reported.

As far as pandemic information on this subreddit, anything not explicitly relevant to the subject at hand can be removed as off-topic, regardless of accuracy. Be wary of posting anything that you're not getting direct from an official source, and even then use caution; as a novel virus SARS-CoV-2 is still being studied, and as researchers and scientists continue to attack the problem the guidance given by official sources could change dramatically in upcoming weeks.

Additionally, posting flagrantly false or out-of-date info regarding the pandemic on this sub is now a bannable offense, up to and including permanent ban at moderator discretion. Bans from this rule can be appealed in the usual fashion, but be ready to cite official, up-to-date sources in your appeal.
