![On Loe Quinn, Censorship, Doxxing, and General Discourse (self.gaming) submitted 59 minutes ago by el_chupacupcake [M] stickied post First a link to Reddit's site-wide rules The top three are the most pertinent: Keep Everyone Safe: You agree to not intentionally jeopardize the health and safety of others or yourself Keep Personal Information Off reddit: You agree to not post anyone's sensitive personal information that relates to that person's real world or online identity . Do Not Incite Harm: You agree not to encourage harm against people Earlier this morning Zoe Quinn was Doxxed on Reddit. Though it did not originate here on /gaming, it found its way here eventually When Doxxing and witch hunts happen there is a set process we follow · ONE: Remove all offending content and report users up to Admin for ToS violations. Create automated methods to remove further Doxxing and threats TWO: Contact the person at threat to make sure they realize the situation, what Reddit is doing to ensure their safety, and that they know to contact Moderators and/or Admin regarding this situation. This is why reached out via twitter. This is a rule I hold myself to personally, and personally advocate for. Admin do not require this explicitly THREE: Assess the initial point of the Witch hunt. If it's a problem, lock the thread entirely so any further breaches aren't possible These are procedures that must be followed to ensure everyone's safety Currently we're having to remove a lot of posts and comments due to these three rules. We're getting throwaway accounts every few seconds, and those are hugely inflating the "deleted" numbers. We are doing our best to keep comments removed to only violations of these three rules (plus egregious violations of Rule 10). But they're happening at an alarming rate This meant that bullet point 3, "lock down the source" became a requirement. From that point on, any comment in that initial thread would be deleted by Reddit Again, that thread is locked by the system and so anything added -- good, bad or otherwise will be instantly removed That said, in the Total Biscuit thread currently on our front page, we are doing our best to ensure both humarn moderators and automoderator allow through non-threatening, non-witch hunting, non-doxxing information. Clearly a thread with over 9,000 different comments in it plus an automated solution is going to create a lot of false positives so if you feel your comment has been removed in error, please message us and we'll review and let through To be explicitly clear: We are fine with you disliking whomever you want. The rules do not protect anyone from criticism, bad press, or the likes If you feel Ms. Quinn's actions (alleged or fact) are deplorable, say so. If you feel her game is awful, expound on that. If you want to boycott her entire professional standing, that is your right within the terms of service Reddit, the automoderator, the gaming moderators, and I personally will do our best not to abridge negative discourse. But the posted rules, and the requirements of being a moderator here, make it very clear that we cannot allow /gaming to put another person's life in danger Users in /gaming (and elsewhere on Reddit) have done this before Users have singled out individuals to genuinely horrifying degrees. Reddit users have acted together to ruin people gotten them fired from jobs that had nothing to even do with video qames. We've had people arrested on false](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/813/769/e89.png "e89.png")
