Hello friends. For the sake of transparency I am making a post to address a few minor updates.
First, I noticed that we did have a filter on Kanye's name that was sending posts to the mod queue for review before posting publicly. This rule likely came about when Kanye was being extremely problematic in the media. I am lightening up on that. His name is not banned anymore. If it becomes a problem in the future I will reassess the need for it.
A lot of you have been mentioning the sensitivity of the automod, specifically that it seems to remove a lot of posts that receive multiple reports. That is being adjusted. Your posts should not be getting removed nearly as often now. If you think your post was incorrectly removed due to the automod, please please just either message the mod mail or DM me directly.
I am being vague intentionally about how the automod filter is now setup. It's clear to me, and seemingly most of you, that we have a problem with excessive reports. Please be aware that I am looking into it. I am going to start paying attention to what posts are being flagged, for what, how often, when it's happening, and who is posting and commenting at the time. For a while I thought it was Timothy/Kanye fans. I no longer think that's the case. It's users of this sub.
If it continues to be an issue, I will be reaching out to reddit admins to get your account banned. They have tools specifically for users abusing the report button, and an entire system to identify them and ban them. If you are the person or persons responsible for continuously abusing the report button, consider this your warning.
Lastly, I'm going to start handing out temp bans way more often than I used to. I believe in multiple chances. I believe that not everyone who's acting out has nefarious intentions. But ya'll I'm tired lol. If you're continuously posting in bad faith, trolling, or forgetting thy human I will be handing you a temporary ban. If you continue your behavior after a temporary ban, I will start banning people permanently. We gotta be kinder to each other. It's just the Kardashians. It's not that serious. (please note that I am not and will never ban people for being fairly critical of the Kardashian/Jenner clan. You are entitled to your opinions and this is not a hive mind. But you DO need to be kind to each other.)
As always, I will not lock this post because I am not a dictator nor do I want to be one, what an exhausting job. Feel free to comment your thoughts if you feel like it, but I will be locking this thread if it turns into arguments.
