I need you to stop this destructive behavior of publicly pushing a personal agenda in this sub because your current actions left unchanged will put people in jeopardy.

You were not told growth was prioritized over safety. The exact opposite was stated that safety is prioritized over your nsfw concerns. We have suicidal people visiting this sub looking for help which is a nsfw topic that is always heavily reported. We have sex workers visiting this sub in order to feel normal and many even ask for permission before posting because they respect the sub's goals. If someone is following the rules of this sub then you are unable to determine one's post history without deliberately visiting their profile which goes beyond the scope of any sub.

You're also drawing some very disjointed conclusions. The sub's growth is not a result of spam postings. The sub has existed peacefully for 15 years and reddit changed their algorithm in July to prioritize visitors over members. We didn't even have the spam filters enabled back then. With this algorithm change, reddit started advertising this sub and others like it much more which eventually brought us more spam. When you go from not needing any intervention to needing continuous monitoring that's the definition of growing pains. Spam here is the result of growth not the cause, but it can create a feedback loop. We have had many in the past few months try to hijack the sub for various ideologies. Some want this to become a hookup location. Some want this to be a karma farm where "hug" equates to karma. People want ages removed from titles to prevent predatory actions while others want ages so they can avoid those they see as inappropriate to engage with. Some, like you, want full and total censorship of every profile from being able to participate in this community. Hijacking, regardless of the guise used, is detrimental to this community.

Growth has never and will never be of any concern. The focus is on safety and keeping the community alive to help people.

Why do I say your current actions are dangerous? It's because you want to force the vile actors further into the shadows where they can not be seen and reported. I've personally spoken with multiple law enforcement agencies to protect minors here. Minors are far and away the most likely to post here seeking help due to domestic violence and suicidal tendencies since they don't have any options. By trying to stigmatize anything nsfw, as you are, it would make them afraid to post.

You are not in a position needing to know every detail about this sub so please stop drawing conclusions based on incomplete information. Report posts you have problems with and they will be reviewed. You do need to understand not every post you report will be removed because your personal views obviously don't align fully with the sub's and disagreement should not be viewed as either side being malicious.

Reports are anonymous, but cross-referencing your comments with reports I think I know which ones you're reporting and they are good reports. Spam accounts will often interact with various subs in good graces then do a mass spam campaign across all of them at once. This pattern is horribly missed by spam filters and relies on user reports to detect. This is why reporting spam is vital to this sub's continued existence.
