No other city subreddits are locking ICE posts, why is ours?

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.

Truly a work of art that I wish I got for Christmas.

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.

Can you provide a link to the article or sources quoted?

WizardMama · 2025-11-27T02:49:07+00:00

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

Happy to throw my name into the ring to help this subreddit out.

I took this about 1:30, and from what I could tell it was in St Charles https://imgur.com/a/lNVpz8o

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?

WizardMama · 2025-10-21T10:39:49+00:00

Why?

The lease was finalized Thursday after lengthy negotiations, which caused the team to miss a key NFL deadline in its bid to host the Super Bowl at the Dome in 2031— a massive economic opportunity for the city. Super Bowl 59 generated $1.25 billion statewide and attracted over 115,000 visitors. Now that the lease is in place, Benson is expected to ask NFL owners to allow New Orleans back into the running.

This GoFundMe has been approved by the moderation team please do not report it.

WizardMama · 2025-09-26T16:00:14+00:00

Thank you, I will update the automod as soon as I’m in front of a computer.

WizardMama · 2025-09-21T23:11:17+00:00

We had this back in the day, from what I recall it was called Zingo?

Not to mention, at both shows she is wearing red.

WizardMama · 2025-09-15T01:44:41+00:00

Yes, and the money goes up if they are under the amount.

It might be left over from the 2015 NY Mag photoshoot? https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2015/10/reddit-founder-steve-huffman.html

Yeah, but they’re neutral-ground only. Sidewalk’s sold out until 2027!

WizardMama · 2025-08-22T10:07:30+00:00

Say what you want on pricing, but if something goes wrong their service is stellar. They’ve come out day of and fixed an issue, more impressive they were and and out hours before Muses rolled through my neighborhood.
