I removed the mod's name because he was pretty nice about it. That being said, I thought this was pretty absurd. /R/Cowboys definitely has a "fuck the Eagles" mentality; but no one is ever mean to "visiting" team fans without being downvoted to hell by our fanbase. It's just crazy that we can't even cheer for our teams anymore without offending someone.

In case you're curious, this was the post in question.

Well, that's because I'm stupid!

And, yes, it's not the greatest quality. But it's the offseason and we're just kind of waiting for kickoff now.

Isn't that that point of the upvote/downvote system though? It allows the users to decide which content becomes visible to the broader audience.

You seem like a nice guy, so as long as I'm polite about it would you mind my dick up your ass?

It depends. Will you at least spit on it first?

I think the worst part about this is that they expressly state that they haven't made it public. I can live with a rule like that as long as it's a rule that everyone knows exists. Banning someone for a rule that's not even a rule is a major dick move.

Well, to be clear, I wasn't banned for this. (Though they did say that repeat offenders would be banned.) But like you said, this has never been announced. It's like a test that you're being set up to fail.

As a philadelphian and a fan of the eagles i'm saddened by this, i looked forward to "fuck philly" posts because then it allowed me to post pics of michael irvin laying dead on the field at The Vet

How in the fuck is that offensive to anyone? You know what's offensive to my sensibilities? Censoring something like that.

I seriously don't know what kind of fanbase Reddit is trying to aim for. Some super Safe For Work website for people to waste their time instead of, you know, doing their job?

A simpler fanbase, a more predictable fanbase.. I am not sure exactly. It sucks when a company decides to change direction and leaves your demographic in the dust. I feel like that about Nintendo, and no its not just 'nostalgia'. They used to make genuinely unique and challenging games, now they pander to children and clueless parents.

Banter is not meant to be "safe", it's about cleverly shitting all over fanbases. It's supposed to make some people mad and they retaliate by firing back. When you plug up one or both sides because apparently equal platforms for banter make people feel "unwelcome", you take a lot of the fun out of sports discussion. You're taking the passion out. You're making it sterile and "safe" for everyone which is EXACTLY what's killing the NFL right now. There are definite lines that shouldn't be crossed in the name of passion (I'm looking at you, Raiders fanbase) but banter is far from that line. Pardon my use of "my/your team" but you're supposed to feel uncomfortable when your team is losing. You're supposed to get angry when your rival beats you and their fans laugh up a storm. You can't have the highs without the lows.

If you can't handle the banter, just watch the game alone and shut yourself out from discussion like all the other idiots who demand "safe spaces". You'd be doing everyone a favor.

I wonder what Reddit will look like in a year? They are obviously cleaning house right now, but how many forced changes can they make before it transforms into something completely different?
