Reddit Cracking Down On Abusive Comments

Reddit, the site famous for subreddits like /r/holocaust, /r/racist, gonewild, nsfw_girls, watchpeopledie and homemadexxx, has decided to start start cracking down on abusive comments.

Because of this, we are changing our practices to prohibit attacks and harassment of individuals through reddit with the goal of preventing them. We define harassment as:

Systematic and/or continued actions to torment or demean someone in a way that would make a reasonable person (1) conclude that reddit is not a safe platform to express their ideas or participate in the conversation, or (2) fear for their safety or the safety of those around them.

If you are being harassed, report the private message, post or comment and user by emailing contact@reddit.com or modmailing us; include external links if they are relevant.
