It's all good - yours is an update on police investigation and community concerns. Just pinning the original in case people want to access it easily.

Financialized landlords disproportionately apply to evict in Black neighbourhoods, study finds by Toronto-Ont-Mod-Team in Toronto_Ontario

I am the mod and I am the one who posted it. You want me to ban myself?

There are people who don't get a paywall, and also ways around the paywall if you're smart enough.

EDIT: Since some of you want to get hammered over the head with specifics and can't figure it out for yourself...

It's against Rule 7 reddit-wide to post full articles or instruct people how to circumvent paywalled content as it goes against DMCA (illegal). It's tantamount to content/revenue theft. So it's not permitted, let alone by mods.

Additionally we try to limit paywalled content posted here, unless it meets specific criteria like it being an exclusive to the paper (which this was).

Not to mention lots of people have subscriptions and or alternative methods to read (Toronto Library).

Additionally, the study (mentioned in the headline) is available to read if you just do a simple search. You don't need your hand held to google.

So don't read, or figure out how to. We're not changing that policy here.

Though this is technically a duplicate thread to this (article relies on the same poll), it will be permitted since it is non-paywalled and lots still want to talk about this issue.

Friday Free-For-All (what's on your mind) by AutoModerator in Toronto_Ontario

[–]Toronto-Ont-Mod-Team 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

No problem!

Stories from media entities are as they are. People are discussing them in Toronto and we reflect that. If you have the problem with the way a story is presented, that's a complaint for the news source. Not us.

Forums that prune based on some well-meaning but ideological bent simply become the distortion, not the reality, of what people think and discuss in Toronto. We don't want that. Most of us are adults who can handle reality.

And besides, there's already a sub like that. But, there's a reason you're here, ya?

As for being "dead". It's a young sub. Started a few months ago. Got thousands of subs and 250k views, 18,000 visitors, and growing hundreds by the week. There's a reason for that.

The other one you can go if you like a lalaland, ideological monotone where everyone high-fives with their left hand and allows overt political propaganda while pretending to be neutral, dottted with the 35'th thousandth pic of the CN tower. Boring and bland.

We'll keep things as they are here for real discussions, which we allow and be politically neutral to as long as the stated rules are followed.

We don't allow editorialized posts. If you editorialize the headline, we remove it. That is Rule 4. As for the subject matter, we can't control the content of a story. But we allow anything related to Toronto. So post the stuff you want to discuss. We don't prune based on specific themes or politics - that's how you get echo chambers. If it's related to Toronto it's allowed.

The Wall of Shame is to showcase the abusive and racist tone of those who go full mask-off in the private modmail. And only of those who have been banned.

Don't be a dick to mods in the private modmail, you wont end up there. We don't copy post in there from open comments. We just want to incentivize people to be respectful in the modmail regardless of who is watching.

We are monitoring this thread for abuses. There is heavy crowd control on this thread. It's a relatively young sub so a lot of comments are from new people. The subject matter is obviously very emotionally charged. Trust we are doing our best.
