So one of the rules in /r/alcohol is "No discussion of illegal activities including sneaking alcohol into concerts, sporting events, etc."
Seems simple enough, right? Apparently not for a user last night who wanted to know the best way to sneak alcohol into a theater.
I banned them, and went on my way. (Yes, for those wondering, I am indeed "actual Hitler.")
This morning I receive a modmail ranting about how I'm "completely in the wrong and it's NOT against the law to sneak alcohol into ANY event ANYWHERE," and how I need to "consult my lawyers" and lift the ban immediately, or "it will be a matter for the courts to decide, as they have screenshots of everything." As a "gesture of goodwill" I'm allowed to change the rules of the subreddit after lifting the ban.
I informed them that since they consider it a legal matter, they should contact [email protected] as the ban would be staying in place, and no moderator from /r/alcohol will be interacting with them any further.
Is that the correct address for Reddit's legal department?
