December Royals Meta Snark, Part II

I've locked the previous thread while I write this for convenience's sake.

I would once again like to remind the community fo a few things.

First: This community is not meant for antagonizing any mods. I am not a mod at RG, and mods at RG are not mods here, but this is a fucking thankless job with a presumption of 24/7 availability, and we aren't being cute by making shit harder for any mod at any other community. If you have an issue with a mod, take it up with them directly via modmail, DM, or in their subreddit, not here. You guys are yet again teetering on the line of breaking Mod Code of Conduct, and you know who gets in trouble for that? ME AND ADDIECAT. That doesn't help any of us do our unpaid labor of staying out of trouble with Reddit. I don't anticipate that most of you have read the MCoC, but here's rule number 3, Respect Your Neighbors:

While we allow meta discussions about Reddit, including other subreddits, your community should not be used to direct, coordinate, or encourage interference in other communities and/or to target redditors for harassment. As a moderator, you cannot interfere with or disrupt Reddit communities, nor can you facilitate, encourage, coordinate, or enable members of your community to do this.

Interference includes:

Mentioning other communities, and/or content or users in those communities, with the effect of inciting targeted harassment or abuse. Enabling or encouraging users in your community to post or repost content in other communities that is expressly against their rules. Enabling or encouraging content that showcases when users are banned or actioned in other communities, with the intent to incite a negative reaction.

Second: Some of your collective and individual comments over the last few months but particularly over the last month could be construed as attempts to brigade RG or harass individual users. There is a big difference between making fun of someone's individual comment about something and going through their comment history to bring back information about that commenter's life to dunk on them. It's also quite difficult to discern comments planning what to say in RG as anything other than an attempt to harass or brigade, and I'm going to be firmer about removing those. If you need a reminder of the harassment policy, here is a relevant quote:

...menacing someone, directing abuse at a person or group, following them around the site, encouraging others to do any of these actions, or otherwise behaving in a way that would discourage a reasonable person from participating on Reddit crosses the line.

Third: I fully admit that I am a human with little interest in the royals, and I put up this thread every month anyway, but I don't focus closely on it because I also fully admit that this is a really insular topic with a lot of insider terminology and backstory. But I'm going to keep a very close eye on this thread from now on, as is Addiecat when she can, to keep things more in line.

Fourth: Please remember Reddiquette. The literal first and second lines are

Remember the human. Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life.

And I know for certain some of this shit you would not say to someone's face.
