Malicious Compliance
People conforming to the letter, but not the spirit, of a request. For now, this includes text posts, images, videos and links. Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.

-
We ENCOURAGE posts about events that happened to you, or someone you know.
-
We ACCEPT (for now) reposts of good malicious compliance stories (from other platforms) which did not happen to you or someone you knew. Please use a [REPOST] tag in such situations.
-
We DO NOT ALLOW fiction, or posts that break site-wide rules.

So I got a few reports based on this.
In the interest of transparency - I'm leaving this up for now because it's not illegal:
As mod, I'll remove posts that are illegal, discriminatory or harassing, and this post doesn't meet those criteria. Regardless, the downvotes here should be a signal that some people find this distasteful.
Feel free to upvote/downvote this post if you agree or disagree. The decision above was made based on my own evaluation, but I'll use the vote spread on this comment as an indicator of whether the community prefers a stricter policy.
