/r/women was having a discussion regarding Men’s Rights in a thread titled: Help me to understand MRA, please o’ please. I cross-posted it to /r/MensRights because it seemed relevant.
Subsequently I received a message from gingerroot, a /r/women mod.
From: gingerroot
One of the aspects of the new mod policy re: banning deals with disruptive behaviour. Disruptive behaviour definitely includes cross-posting. Cross-posting a post in r/women to Mens Rights is generally done with the sole purpose of inviting trolls to come and comment (I've already had to ban comments and users as a result of that) in addition to the downvote brigade.
We won't tolerate cross-posting in r/women. In an effort to be diplomatic, I am PMing you to let you know this is disruptive. If you continue to be disruptive in r/women, we will ban you. If you want to be a legitimate contributor, we will look forward to seeing more of your posts.
From: ManchurianCandidate
Any cross-posting is banned? Say a cross-post to /r/books if a particularly relevant book review comes up? Or just cross-posting to /r/mensrights?
I understand if the cross-post is done with clear malicious intent. e.g. a cross-post with an inflammatory title or with an included comment inciting misogyny. However in this case we had a post asking for help understanding Men's rights. Further the ensuing discussion was very vitriolic and attacking towards men and Men's Rights. I feel that a cross-post in this case was warranted and not deserving of reprimand, let alone threat of banning.
From : gingerroot
The policy isn't up for debate and the thread isn't full of vitriol at all. If you act in a disruptive manner again, you won't be welcome in r/women again.
So I went back to the thread I had cross-posted and posted the following comment:
“FYI: don't cross post discussion from /r/women or apparently you will be banned. Even when they are discussing Men's Rights....”
I guess the no cross-posting policy is supposed to be a secret because she banned me after that.
In conclusion: Banning seems silly. It likely radicalizes people. And it’s not like it stops me from taking the whole 2 seconds to switch to one of my alt accounts if I really want to comment over there.
