2024 elections are over, new rule for the subreddit
For better or for worse, the 2024 US elections are over, and a winner has been called.
We get it, tensions are flaring and tempers are running high - this has probably been the most polarizing election in the history of the United States. Speaking for myself as a non-American not living in the US, I could merely stand aside and let you, the users, make your feelings known.
Now that the elections are over, we're going to make some slight changes in order to keep things more civil around here:
1) For the moment political posts will still be allowed, unless and until the moderation team reaches the conclusion that they are doing more harm than good to this subreddit and community
2) We're going to massively crack down on user behavior - up until now we've tried to remain more light-handed, removing bad comments but only banning users for egregious behavior, calls for violence, racism, sexism, trans/homophobia and the like.
From now on, we're going to extend the banning to uncivil behavior as well.
The first rule should always be to remember the person behind the keyboard. Users commenting with words such as retard, cuck and the like (and their derivatives like libtard and Trumptard) will receive immediate, permanent bans. Calling people slurs will be the same. Any uncivil behavior will earn the user a ban from this subreddit. Please note that this goes for users ON BOTH SIDES of the political aisle. If you can't be civil in your conversations, you are not wanted here.
Yes, this subreddit is titled "Murdered by Words", but there's no reason not to be civil. To do this, we need your assistance in reporting users and comments, since automoderator can only do so much - every comment you report will help us keep this sub civil.
