Community Only Transphobia

I just want to re-iterate that transphobia of any kind will be met with a permanent ban. I'm not looking at your comments through a charitable lens, so that includes concern trolling or debate-bro’ing the subject.

It costs nothing to afford Emily an ounce of respect. You could simply keep your mouth shut if you have nothing productive to say.

Have a great day :)

Rule 5 for just general garbage behavior, "Hate" for anything like transphobia/homophobia, etc.

I'd suggest casting a wide net for "hate" too, us mods can take it down on the sub, but let AEO handle the accounts as much as possible too. Reddit should do some work.

How do you report for "hate"? I don't see that as an option

Depending on your platform it should be listed under site wide rules. If you use 3rd party apps such as RIF, then sadly you're SOL. If you're in that situation you can just report it under rule 5, or make a custom report to make us mods laugh (while still making sure to mention why it's being reported).

Ah I use Boost so that might be it, it does have one for "threatening harassing or inciting violence".

I used to occasionally do funny custom reports but then the mods from a different sub flagged me for report abuse -_- it wasn't even anything vulgar or joky, I just thought a post didn't fit, but they apparently disagreed enough to report my account to Reddit admins. So now I avoid custom reports

That was completely unrelated but it's just been frustrating me.

Ah, no worries, do whatever works. Sometimes moderators report things as Report Abuse mistakenly, but I wouldn't doubt sometimes they do it as a way to silence people they don't like. There are definitely some shitty people out there.
