Rule update: Direct cross-linking no longer allowed

luxury_banana · 2013-08-06T00:19:33+00:00

So is this because they're saying this sub is somehow vote brigading? If so, that's funny because they don't seem to be doing anything about SRS vote brigading which their own screenshot bot documents the proof of.

RachelGarcia84 · 2013-08-06T00:29:39+00:00

Can we also get /r/ShitRedditSays to meet the same standards? They vote brigade on a daily basis.

porygon2guy · 2013-08-06T03:13:33+00:00

Just as a heads up, .np doesn't really work, in that it's stupidly easy to get around, especially if you have RES.

I'd recommend an archiving site, such as;

http://redditlog.com/

http://archive.is/

http://www.peeep.us/

Because then it gives you another degree of separation from being called a brigade.

My personal favorite is redditlog

soulcakeduck · 2013-08-06T00:02:20+00:00

Just to clarify, we can still direct-link to elsewhere within this subreddit, correct?

corpseflower · 2013-08-07T06:51:41+00:00

So basically, every sandy-vadged subreddit can brigade US (to the point where certain male-hostile groups basically dictate a quarter of our content against our will), but we are not allowed to even link to other subreddits?

Christ, this is getting sad. Maybe we should start giving each other gold so that the admins will treat us as a cash cow?

ucecatcher · 2013-08-06T02:51:23+00:00

If you have disabled the option "allow subreddits to show me custom styles" in your display options preferences, this does nothing. This comment posted to: "http://np.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/1jrwuj/rule_update_direct_crosslinking_no_longer_allowed/" using this configuration. Several comments upvoted using same.

So what we have here is more rules for no real effect. Congratulations, you have a future in Congress.

I can see how someone would think that flooding a sub with robot votes is unfair (and I would agree) but I'm not certain what the argument against large quantities of actual humans down- or up-voting is. I thought that was the point of Reddit. What am I missing here?

2013-08-06T05:03:53+00:00

Cross-linking is rape.

Quarkster · 2013-08-05T23:39:36+00:00

How would this stop anyone?

dungone · 2013-08-06T10:06:38+00:00

My usage generates as much revenue for Reddit as anyone else and I would like to be treated the same. The rest of Reddit and it's owners are trying to quarantine this sub and pretend it doesn't exist. At what point do we start having the conversation about a mass exodus?

rightsbot · 2013-08-05T23:38:16+00:00

Post text automatically copied here. (Why?) (Report a problem.)

notnotnotfred · 2013-08-06T00:59:11+00:00

please clarify: does this apply to:

1) all top level posts, and / or

2) top level replies to posts, and / or

3) all comments at every level?

Jacksambuck · 2013-08-14T11:25:29+00:00

With all due respect, could you get this shit off the front page?

giegerwasright · 2013-08-06T01:28:12+00:00

That's really fucking stupid.

dsmaxwell · 2013-08-06T01:38:51+00:00

So how exactly do we go about using NP links?

ExiledSenpai · 2013-08-06T04:35:53+00:00

I don't understand these words, but I understand that they are words.

iamaom · 2013-08-07T01:28:46+00:00

We cannot enforce non-participation

Non-NP links to other subreddits will be removed from now on

Sounds like enforcing to me.

kurtu5 · 2013-08-06T00:18:29+00:00

This is absurdly stupid.

"are designed to prevent brigading."

This sounds more like quash dissent.

hankhankhank · 2013-08-06T17:24:58+00:00

can we put the squeeze on the sarcastic bile as well? it's getting really hard to keep a positive mental image of the sub's users when every submission is peppered with comments full of /s.

there's enough sarcasm in this place to make a teenager blush now.

JavaPants · 2013-08-06T01:48:00+00:00

Can they tell the difference between me going through a post on here and voting versus me just finding a post, voting on it, and later finding out it's been posted on here?

dungone · 2013-08-13T14:47:18+00:00

I feel that this sub has been getting trolled and brigaded more than usual ever since this rule change came out. I think that the rule change is unreasonable because it's asking thousands of people to basically help a couple of admins do some mental masturbation while the SRS types look at it as a vindication of their strategy of trolling and brigading this sub. I expect that the longer this post sticks at the top of the forum, the more brazen the attacks on this forum will get.

insaneHoshi · 2013-08-14T01:34:35+00:00

I agree, i dont see what the big deal is, If you mindbogingly absolutely need to up/downvote, just get around it.

Blemish · 2013-08-14T02:21:31+00:00

This is common place on Reddit.

2013-08-16T01:18:27+00:00

We cannot enforce non-participation, but we do discourage it

What... Huh, I don't even... Am I reading this incorrectly or something?

kami232 · 2013-08-16T02:22:21+00:00

SRS is like the Westboro Baptist Church... just ignore them and pretend they don't exist.

AceyJuan · 2013-08-06T02:39:38+00:00

Way to capitulate. Unsubscribing.

KRosen333 · 2013-08-13T16:20:22+00:00

Why not use a moderation bot to automatically remove non-np links within reddit that AREN'T in the MensRights sub?

tyciol · 2013-08-06T19:00:04+00:00

Due to reddit rules and their interpretation by admins

Which ones pertain to this brigading concern? Why are our votes not valuable? Some of us are participants on other reddits we might find links to from here.

Non-NP links to other subreddits will be removed from now on.

Couldn't you just alter them to be NP links rather than remove them altogether?

Collective82 · 2013-08-06T13:11:18+00:00

So how do we know if what we are submitting is a top level post? Is it top level to us or to the subreddit we are linking to? If its for in here, well upon submission we don't know what will get bumped to the top.
