Hey all, it’s holiday break and when schools and universities are on break, the amount of trolling that we experience goes up, pretty suddenly.

It’s post holiday, and I am pretty sure it’ll ramp up this year, just like it did last year.

These trolls get banned. Some of them quicker than others.

Sometimes those trolls go to other subreddits and try and stir up shit about this subreddit.

It doesn’t happen the other way around much, because we actively call out the part of the Reddit TOS about being good neighbors, not hosting community interference, not fostering a pro-brigading community.

We don’t host posts complaining about other subs, full stop.

It’s against the general spirit of the TOS, if you believe in the concept of self-governance, it’s counter productive (real change happens from within), and mostly, it often isn’t true, it’s trolling, and we don’t like to get played or take sides in other’s affairs, even if we don’t agree with them.

So we’re asking community members to help us out! If you see brigading on other subs, here’s how you report it

Edit: here’s another link about how to report

It’s pretty clear, very easy and we appreciate it, as it prevents both additional trolling and lets us represent our community and the people in it, on our sub. Rather than some lies made up by a troll, or a disgruntled former community member.

We appreciate your help in this holiday trolling season!!

Thank you and happy holidays! I hope the new year brings peace, prosperity and joy to all of you.
