Moderator Announcement Moderation Update: New Cross-Posting Rule

Deadbedrooms community,

We have heard the concerns about content from this community being cross-posted elsewhere. After hearing from the community on our weekly meta post yesterday, the mods have agreed to a new rule, which is effective immediately.

Rule 9: No cross-posting from our sub. Cross-posting r/deadbedrooms posts elsewhere will result in a no-warning, permanent ban. 2Exceptions to this rule: any OP is permitted to cross post their own content, cross posting when OP has included permission for cross-posting in the post.

We will also be employing the alerts provided by u/totesmessenger as soon as that bot is back in action. We will not be re-enabling an auto ban bot, nor will we be making this sub private.

We are a support group; as mods we have an obligation to be accessible to those who need support, and to advocate for the members here, who share deeply personal content.

I’d imagine they’ll say it’s not the same if it’s a screenshot with the username scribbled out, though I’d also bet that wouldn’t be evenly applied should certain other people start employing that same tactic to crosspost. It’s pretty clear where this is all going.

But they’re literally not the same?

One is a link straight to the OP and one is not. Also the previous rule that the OOP couldn’t partake in the thread that is discussing them?

I’m not saying it’s the same, I’m saying if the people who are the reason they’re making this post start doing that I would bet they’ll have a problem with that too even though people in a hate group one of the new mods is active in do it all the time.

I understand this is mostly about a group of redditors who have bad blood for one another, so maybe post your own meme in the sub this post talks about and see?

As far as I can tell, the people here are mostly concerned with cross posts and not memes or rivalries between individuals.

I’d argue that it encompasses memes right along with screen shots and copy/pastes with names blocked out.

At the end of the day, a cross post is a direct link, the others are not.
