Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Reposts has always been a major issue on reddit, there are an infamous moderator who would delete posts with traction and repost it himself for karma.
Using bots to duplicate comments on reposts is a new low though.
Is it new? I got the impression that's also been going on a while.
It's definitely not a new issue, but it's only gotten worse since reddit has gone more and more mainstream.
If you follow me on Lemmy since last year, you should know that I've always been extremely against having bots posting here.
As are all who live to see such times.
Except certain transparent bots that serve a clear, particular purpose. Like, we could have a bot that adds a new honorific to your description every time someone says, "oh hey, I saw a Margot Robbie on TV! Is that you?"
MargotRobbieHonorificBot: That's Her Esteemed Greatness The GOAT Academy Award Deserver And Future Empress Of The High Seas Margot Robbie!
This bit is way funnier when it's a real person saying it instead of a bot.
What if it's an actress, does that count? Or is it like, yeah, that's just her character saying that.
-insert [human] honorific string of adjectives here, on behalf of Margot Robbie.
I very much remember this being an issue a couple years ago
Esteemed, world-renowned actress Margot Robbie?!
That's esteemed Academy Award nominated (and incredibly humble) character actress Margot Robbie to you!
You're the second best character actor name Margo(t), but with Margo Martindale existing, being second is still a great achievement.
My apologies
yep that's really her
I had almost forgotten about him. Wouldn't he also post obvious ads to the hundreds of communities he moderated, and bend the rules so that technically the posts belong?
I've had this happen to me, it felt so fucking wrong lol. My thread got deleted by the mod and he reposted it as a sticky on his own name without so much mentioning me.
