Upvoting violent content in "a certain timeframe" will now earn Reddit users a warning, and possibly worse in future.
  • Reddit has begun issuing warnings to users to regularly upvote violent content with a view to taking harsher action in future.
  • The company says that it will consider expanding this action to other forms of content in future.
  • Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.

    Reddit’s moderation policies are already too crazy and moderators are already abusing whatever they want. I don’t expect anything to become significantly worse.

      This is different. Admins have access to much more of your data and can issue site wide bans.
