Not a website, but a facebook group I’m in specifically has a rule against “going live” from the bathroom.
This is further evidence that all safety rules have been written in blood.
There was a politics subreddit I was on that had a “downvoting is not allowed” rule. There’s literally no way to tell who’s downvoting on Reddit, or even if downvoting is happening if it’s not enough to go below 0 or trigger the “controversial” indicator.
I got permabanned from that subreddit when someone who’d said something offensive asked “why am I being downvoted???” And I tried to explain to them why that was the case. No trial, one million years dungeon, all modmail ignored. I guess they don’t get to enforce that rule often and so leapt at the opportunity to find an excuse.
CanadaPolitics, right? That rule never made sense to me.
Yup. Fortunately unsubscribing from politics subreddits is generally advisable whether one has been banned from them or not.
I think on the desktop version many years ago the downvote button was hidden, but if you visited from anywhere else you could downvote.
You could also downvote on the desktop site by using the RES keyboard shortcut
I’ve seen a few blogs with “Don’t comment to say you didn’t like the article, Doug” as a rule.
TV Tropes has a rule against “believing in conspiracy theories”.
Well, after a while you start wondering why so many people sit in chairs… It can’t really be a coincidence ?
What a cliché.
A trope, even.
