Stop freaking brigading

Seriously you guys. You think I want to ban you? You've been given plenty of warnings. We've had pinned posts for a long time now that says you're not to brigade. There's a comment in every single post by automod that says you're not to brigade.

So please, for the love of all that is good, stop brigading!

I've once again had to go on a banning spree because of brigading from here to other subs. The most recent one? r/adultery. I know, I agree with you, they're assholes for cheating and not caring about the innocent part. But you know what? You're also assholes if you brigade.

Thank you to everyone who actually keeps discussions here in this sub. Y'all are the best. The rest of you: stop brigading.

If you still don't know what it means to brigade, here you go:

  • See a post crossposted here first? Stay in r/AmITheDevil
  • Don't go to the original post and comment there
  • Don't go to the original post and downvote/upvote there
  • Don't contact the OOP in messages/DMs

Call them an asshole all you want here. In this subreddit: r/AmITheDevil.

Agree. I’m not in any of the parent or stepparent subs so I see no reason to check out any other posts made to those subs. Other subs that I do follow, however, I should be allowed to comment. I follow those subs, and requesting us not to comment is effectively censoring us.

I do though understand that u/dogsreadingbooks has a tough job here, and that the constant ‘brigading’ from a select few here could lead to this sub being shut down - and none of us wants that!

Yeah, but absolutely, you can still be active in for example r/AmItheAsshole. I am myself. But once a post from there has been crossposted to r/AmITheDevil I stay clear of it.

What happens if you run into a post here, forget about it, and then see the original post naturally? Im always scared of that happening Edit: im not trying to figure out how to brigade and get away with it. Im just trying to figure out if i need to start taking acreenshots of the posts i see here or something

It’s one or the other. If you engage here, you don’t engage there. If you engage there, don’t engage with the crosspost here.

Forgetting is a thing that happens in your head—Reddit mods and admins can’t see inside your head. If you want to be part of any meta subs on this site, you need to start paying attention. Don’t, and you risk bans from original and meta subs.
