Mods reserve the right to take action on any account/post for:
Breaking the rules
Being inflammatory toward other users (except when fans come to troll).
Any reason we think is in the best interests of the community.
All rules listed here were decided by the users and reddit's policy. Rules are reviewed with the community after the post-season ends and users have the option of revising rules by majority rule.
We are happy to hear what everyone has to say. Sometimes we hear arguments that change our minds. Being belligerent and insulting because of something you have taken to be personally offensive is not likely to be recieved with open ears and minds. Chances are if you are being toxic to the mods, you'll be toxic to the community.
The best way to go about filing a complaint/requesting a change is to send us a civil message.
Creating a new account to evade a pema-ban will result in your username being given to the Reddit admins.
