We asked you if we should trial this rule in May 2023. We’ve trialed it much longer than we originally intended, but are now ready to revisit it and would like to hear your feedback via the poll link below.

We’ve created a spreadsheet here linking to each comment removed under the rule, when they were removed, and which mod performed the removal.

The mod ‘UFOs-ModTeam’ appears whenever we perform removals on mobile or choose to do so anonymously.

The sheet contains the text for some of the removed comments as samples. It does not include all of them, since this has to be done manually and is a significant amount of work. If you feel there is not enough data to assess the rule has been used, let us know.

If you have any other questions or concerns regarding the state of the subreddit or moderation you’re welcome to discuss them in the comments below as well. If you’ve read this post thoroughly you can let us know by indicating your favorite animal is a mantis in the poll.

If your feedback indicates we should keep this rule we will make a separate announcement in a different sticky post.
