Hi all,

As I am sure many of you have noticed the election has brought in a wave of homophobic and transphobic trolls far greater then we’ve seen in a long time.

In the last four days we’ve banned more users then in the previous six months

As such we’ve had to start locking and unlocking posts to keep new rule breaking comments from multiplying faster than we can handle them.

Going forward expect new posts to periodically be locked as they are cleaned up and then unlocked. Older election may end up being locked permanently once they have run their course to reduce the number of places where trolls can congregate.

What can you do to help?

Please report, but do not respond to any trolling comments so that mod team can find and handle them. We can my be everywhere at once and the backlog of reports from the last few days is huge. Rest assured we are doing our best to process them as fast as we can.

Thank you,

The r/actuallesbian mod team
