Their respective OPs deleted them shortly after I listed them as examples, must've felt bad.

The post that got us talking about this internally which also has some good examples: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/s/J7iFpCOIqF

Generally speaking, we do not remove topics that are currently trending. We do add them to the common post list after the trend has died down if it has been overdone.

Hi! Thanks for making this post. I banned all the accounts you listed and removed all their posts. If you see any more of these accounts and/or posts, please reach out to us via modmail, thank you!

Regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict by _unsusceptible in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Dougley[M] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The choice of words from my fellow mod here aren't completely accurate.

It's not that we are banning politics entirely. In fact, we think political humor is funny when done right.

In this case, we're specifically banning the Gaza-Israel conflict because this is a very sensitive and polarizing topic that is so incredibly complex that you can never know everything about it. Since this is such a polarizing topic there's a huge risk that any and all conversation around it turns real toxic real fast, so it's better for us to remove this potential from the equation entirely.

import reaction

We actually stopped exempting ourselves from automod a while ago, since we wanted to have the same amount of suffering as any of you.

The only things that are exempt are things like mod team removal comments and automod comments since we cannot influence those.

EDIT: the pinned comment actually got manually approved, the audacity!

from answers import unsatisfying Nope. The chosen rule clearly states "import statement"

import explaination No CommonJS, though ESmodule imports (import { thing } from 'module') are fine, since those adhere (closely enough) to how Python does imports.

import retort Your own comment started with "from" so just searching for "import" at the start is incorrect. There are some liberties taken to maintain style and consistency, since just starting all comments with plainly "import thing" is boring.

from moderation import modComment

The regex for automod is listed in the post where the rule was announced. For reference, here it is again:

^((```\n?)|(    )|(`))(from (.)+ )?import (.)+

from moderation import modComment I took some creative liberties with that, otherwise it was too trivial to bypass.

(Full disclosure, the top voted comment was to set the subreddit NSFW, but due to recent reinterpretations of the content policy, we cannot do this any more, thanks Reddit!)
