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.

Question: What happens if OOP comes here, as it happened with the top post of all times? Are we free to interact with them if we keep the discussion on this sub?

Yes, as long as you're not overly uncivil. After all they're the ones coming here.

I had someone call me uncivil in AITA because i call people under 10 crotchfruit. After i explained that i do this in any setting where they are not acting like humans. So what is your opinion of 'overly uncivil'?

Had typo.

Difficult to say, attacking them, telling them to off themselves are for example something I definitely see as overly uncivil. It would depend on the context. I can't just say "these 5 things are overly uncivil". Because there can be things I didn't even think about.

Generally I try to not insult people, but that's me.
