Mostly venting, but I guess updating on the current status of how bad reddit is:
I got this message from admins:
Rule Violation: Warning for Threatening Violence
We’ve been alerted that you’ve violated Reddit’s rule against threatening violence in the following content.
Link to reported content:[redacted]
Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for threatening or encouraging violence against people or animals. We don’t tolerate any behavior that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual, groups of people, places, or animals. Any communities or people that encourage or incite violence towards an individual, group, animals, or place will be banned.
Before participating in Reddit further, make sure you read and understand Reddit’s Content Policy, including what’s considered threatening violence.
If you’re reported for any further violations of Reddit’s Content Policy, additional actions including banning may be taken against your account(s).
This is an automated message; responses will not be received by Reddit admins.
I already deleted the comment, so I don't recall it exactly, but there was no threat in it whatsoever. It was a response to someone suggesting if there were no guns at all, you wouldn't have to worry about self defense. I replied back (calling it euro cuck logic and other vulgarities) stating there are plenty of situations in which you should shoot someone, even if they don't have a gun themselves. For eg (this part wasn't in the comment) someone has a knife or other weapon or they're just bigger than you.
A 100% sane, normal, stance on a subject gets an admin warning for "threatening violence".
This was in /r/news of course.
