0: Safe
1: No brigading. You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way.
2: No illegal or NSFW or gore content. No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
3: Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
4: No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind. That's it.
5: Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
6: Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
7: If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed. Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/0 want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
8: All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
9: Let everyone have their own content. Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
10: Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

There are three main good faith issues with respect to the API changes.

1: Existing moderation tools were shut down (but later re-enabled)

2: existing third party apps with better moderation tools and better moderation experiences were cut off unless they paid a large amount of money.

3: Spez sneered at the moderators protesting.

The flipside to each of those is:

1: The API features that enabled the moderation tools also enabled stalking and abuse (like, kids viewing porn, as an example)

2: some of the third party apps were blocking Reddit’s advertisements and running their own adverts, while making Reddit bear the costs (fuskering Reddit)

3: some of the people who have been running subreddits are, uh, the kind of people who fondly remember when Reddit hosted racist groups , who are annoyed or angry that Reddit now has expectations that they not set up “roach motel” subreddits to corner unsuspecting visitors to exploit / hives of harassment & abuse, and who are no longer content to just “watch Reddit die” - the crab bucket phenomenon. They’re not sour over the changes - they were already beyond sour and they are using this as a pretext to harass others.

That is why Reddit was forced to close down the API, for the good of the community.
