That community hits “front page” quite often. It’s easy to miss the community name (and rules) unless you pay attention.
It would be nice if there was a brother community that had the same topic, and a default text in all posts explaining this and redirecting the men to that.
Yes sure. I am speaking in general. Half the time I read that community, I only realize where I am when I see the mods calling other people out in the comments. It happens in every single thread, which is why I think they ought to make it more visible in every single post.
It’s a great community and I do read it occasionally, so I don’t want to block it, just because I’m not allowed to comment myself.
not any different than any community that random gets frontpaged and gets flooded by randos.
on reddit i was a part of several smaller subs that would get front paged a couple times a year and things got nutty for a few days. usually a flood of users who just came in harassed everyone and made lots of posts about what losers we were, or posted self-help ‘guides’.
the assumption that people are going to read your sidebar rules and self regulate is just… dumb. that isn’t what people do. provocative posts are going to be a beacon for provocative people who have to ‘educate’ the rest of the community.

That would be an understandable mistake if the poster hadnt literally quoted the rule they were breaking.

I read through that thread, the mods were very patient.
And individual community members of course had their own individual reactions, depending on the content of the post.
