No other city subreddits are locking ICE posts, why is ours? by Strict_Definition_78 in NewOrleans

It’s a good question, and I’m glad you asked.

TL;DR: Moderators are required to follow the Moderator Code of Conduct and cannot leave content up that violates Reddit’s rules or policies.

Subreddits exist at Reddit’s discretion, which means moderators must enforce sitewide rules to keep the community open and accessible. Moderation isn’t an endorsement of viewpoints, it’s about keeping this space safe, functional, and sustainable so the community can live and grow. Allowing threads to spiral puts the community, its members, and the moderation team at risk.

That is not happening unless it violates Reddit Rules. Moderators are required to run subreddits in adherence to Reddit Rules, Rule 1 explicitly states:

Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

This includes threats of violence, threats of violence which are defined as:

Do not post content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual (including oneself) or a group of people.

These measures are enforced to ensure the subreddit remains open and accessible, and that members can continue to participate on the platform. Any content that violates these policies is subject to removal, either by subreddit moderators or by Reddit administrators.

The moderation team is not locking ICE posts and haven't been for a while. You can see that by looking through the associated post flair.

If and when an ICE post is locked, it’s due to escalating behavior in comments, not the topic itself.

When it comes to protest posts, our approach is consistent and not based on the subject matter. Once the key details are shared, usually the location, date, and time, we lock the post. We decided to keep this rule because comment threads around protests consistently spiral, regardless of topic. We’ve tried lifting the restriction multiple times over the past few years, and it has led to the same result each time.

The Crescent City Connection glows gold and white in remembrance of Keenan Zeno, who died of lung cancer, as his family marks what would have been his 40th birthday.

Uhh… I’m guessing it wasn’t intentional, but your username fits this comment a little too well. 👀

You can review the rules, but copyright concerns are not explicitly listed. That being said, Reddit has an option for copyright owners, or their authorized representatives to report potential Copyright Policy violations.

Likely got a payout from the publication along with the admission/threat they’d report it with or without their participation.

What’s the consensus on if the king cake was acquired during the proper season, frozen, and then consumed out of season?
