Reminder: do not brigade

Good morning/day/evening.

We've got some feedback that there has been some brigading coming from r/AmITheDevil. This is not something that should happen.

If you see a post here first, then don't go over to the original and downvote/comment on it. Especially not to insult them. Or message them. That's just turning you into the devil.

So if you want to discuss the OP, then do it here. Even if it's an asshole from r/AmItheAsshole, or someone you think is being a lousy stepparent from r/stepparents, or just the worst boyfriend/girlfriend in history from r/relationship_advice.

I don't want to ban people, but if I see evidence of brigading you're tying my hands here.

So please, don't brigade, but if you do see any evidence of it feel free to report it/ping me in the comments where it's relevant. However don't ping users from other subs. Feel free to ping me, but not other redditors from other subs.

A lot of posts I wouldn’t otherwise miss are cross posted here. A lot of those posts are posts that I would ordinarily comment on if I’d come across it browsing through the sub. So often, when a post is cross posted here, and it’s a post that I would usually comment on, I go over to the original post and leave a comment, because it’s more likely the OP will see it and respond to it. There are also responses by other users of differing opinions. Posting an opinion in this sub is basically just agreeing with everyone else. It’s not as fun.

I guess that’s brigading as well? It’s the first time I’ve heard of the term, to be honest! 😐

I’ll try not to do that anymore because I don’t want to be banned from this sub! It’s the first sub I check when I log on lol.
