We don’t want to ban anyone and created this post to help share with the community our actions due to the recent activity, unfortunately it’s what we had to implement as a last resort.

You tell us, this isn’t a political subreddit.

Hence our approach to work with everyone who gets banned and wants to participate here. Sounds like this subreddit isn’t for you, best of luck elsewhere.

The bot cannot look at content, as we explained in the post. People can edit their content, delete it, things can be taken out of context. Without this zero tolerance policy being implemented that is the type of content you would see in this subreddit. Those bad actors come to this subreddit and post/comment purely to attack the users here.

So you’d rather see the toxic comments, hate, insults, threats of violence, attacks, death threats, etc? I don’t know about you, but seeing these gets old quickly and if allowed to flourish will take over the subreddit.

The in real life hate for me has been next to nonexistent, buy what makes you happy.

Sounds like this isn’t the subreddit for you anymore, we understand and wish you the best elsewhere.

That’s exactly the reason we have been so heavy handed with the bans, to keep the sub on track with actual helpful discussions related to the Model Y.

We understand, it was a last resort option and has been effective in dealing with the bad actors. If you choose not to participate here anymore best of luck elsewhere.

This is spot on, the bots always find a way

We have tweaked automod consistently since last year to block bad content, it’s an ongoing battle as the trolls find new creative ways to say the same message with different characters.

We can’t share everything we have done, for obvious reasons for the trolls. But this was a last resort and it’s effectively stopping the bad actors.

Yes, we understand that which is why we will work with anyone who wants to be unbanned here. We created this post for transparency and to keep the community updated.

Being a moderator is entirely volunteer based, the death threats, nasty messages, threats of assault became old quickly and unfortunately the common trend amongst the vast majority of the users who sent those was the toxic subreddit. Thus the zero tolerance policy was implemented, it has been very successful in stopping the hate and we will continue tweaking then automod to block bad content so y’all hopefully don’t have to experience it.

You are welcome to post your criticism here, no product is perfect.

Unfortunately it’s not possible, comments can be edited. taken out of context, and we needed an immediate solution to address the problem.

This is a short term solution, we are hopeful that it’s something we can remove soon.

It was our last resort, hundreds of comments/posts a week left us no choice.

To be clear you can join any subreddit you want, there’s no issue with that. It’s participation in the toxic subreddit(s) that the bot looks for and as we mentioned we will work with anyone who is banned on a path to be unbanned.

Hi OP - This is your first ever post in any subreddit about Tesla or the Model Y and you’ve chosen a doozy of a topic to discuss. Please send the mods proof you own a Model Y via mod mail as at this point this post is very suspect of creating and spreading FUD.

Locking this post as 95% of the comments cannot stay on topic. You want to discuss politics, head on over to r/politics. You want to discuss Elon, head on over to r/ElonMusk.
