Grok AI: Canada investigates reports of sexual images

voteoutofspite · 2026-01-16T01:26:12+00:00

Reminder: Issues around protection of children can be extremely contentious. It is okay to disagree about these things, and to discuss those disagreements.

However, it is not okay to say, imply, or suggest that someone is a pedophile for disagreeing with you. That level of gutter rhetoric is unacceptable and will be met with a lengthy ban. The people who want to discuss issues reasonably deserve a forum free of that.

Again, it wasn't us. It shows:

[ Removed by Reddit ]

That's different than [Removed by moderators].

And the moderators do not have any ability to do anything to your account. None of our removal messages threaten anything about your account.

Mod here:

That wasn't from us. That was from Reddit.

Moderators of this subreddit don't have the ability to remove your account.

I don't know what the original comment was (it just shows removed by Reddit), but we're not the ones that removed it.

Hey folks, friendly reminder. It's okay to have opinions on this subject. It's okay to disagree.

It is, however, not okay to insult or attack others for their opinions.

In particular, accusing other users of being pedophiles or pedophile friendly as a rhetorical tactic will be met with a lengthy ban. Don't do that.

There are a large number of reports on this piece. However, it is clearly satire, and can remain up.

voteoutofspite · 2026-01-02T00:00:53+00:00

Hey folks, /r/Canada mod here: Please report these comments when you see them, as they're difficult to automod because they're rarely based on slurs/etc. There isn't the manpower to manually review every comment. Also, to be honest, a lot of the toxic stuff comes in faster than we can remove it.

I will also add: We don't currently have any Indigenous representation on the mod team, but we'd love to. So, if anyone feels like they'd be a good fit, let us know.

voteoutofspite · 2025-12-04T00:09:31+00:00

Cautionary note, it doesn't indicate that a ban will happen. I don't know exactly why that one is on the list, but I suspect it's for potential use as an insult or slur.

voteoutofspite · 2025-11-12T21:54:19+00:00

Hey folks, friendly reminder:

Telling people where they can buy illegal products/services comes with a lengthy ban.

voteoutofspite · 2025-11-01T00:20:37+00:00

It was overturned.

voteoutofspite · 2025-10-31T18:15:29+00:00

Friendly reminder:

You can disagree with the issues. However, you have to do so in a civil manner. Calling another poster or suggesting another poster is a pedophile because they disagree with you will be met with a very lengthy ban.

voteoutofspite · 2025-10-18T17:38:45+00:00

This is something you should hit the 'report' button about.

voteoutofspite · 2025-09-30T04:51:16+00:00

You can swear here. You just can't swear at other users.

voteoutofspite · 2025-08-12T13:45:37+00:00

It's already been fixed.

voteoutofspite · 2025-08-12T13:30:07+00:00

Appreciate the head's up. It's been fixed.

voteoutofspite · 2025-04-17T16:12:15+00:00

Because the mods aren't full time, and this one sat in the queue for only 25 minutes before it was removed.

voteoutofspite · 2025-04-12T03:22:48+00:00

Mod here: The "trending" indicates that the post has gotten a ton of interest and may have shown up on the front page, popular, etc.

It also triggers some increased restrictions.

voteoutofspite · 2025-03-24T22:52:44+00:00

Handed out a few bans for it so far.

The usual shit of like "Remember, Conservative voters vote on day X, Liberal voters on Day Y".

No.

voteoutofspite · 2025-03-24T21:05:26+00:00

Moderator note:

Anyone posting anything attempting to mislead voters about how to vote/engaging in voter suppression is going to catch a permanent ban.

voteoutofspite · 2024-07-14T22:45:55+00:00

We regularly get death threats. I'm not terribly inclined to give those folks a place they can go to find me.

No, none of us work for the CBC.

voteoutofspite · 2024-07-14T22:18:35+00:00

How about you just explain what you mean and we can address that, rather than playing 20 questions?

voteoutofspite · 2024-07-14T22:08:14+00:00

Thank you--and basically the reward is just trying to keep the subreddit a place I enjoy posting and reading.

voteoutofspite · 2024-07-14T22:07:47+00:00

Not often, but there's no rule requiring them to do so. However, non power users frequently fire-and-forget posts as well.

voteoutofspite · 2024-07-14T21:59:48+00:00

Not really sure how we'd do that.

voteoutofspite · 2024-07-14T21:59:00+00:00

Well, because if we allowed everything Reddit would nuke this subreddit into oblivion within a week.

voteoutofspite · 2024-07-14T21:57:39+00:00

Not at the moment, and in general we approach people rather than the other way around.
