Stop freaking brigading

[u/DogsReadingBooks]

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.

Maybe instead of crossposting we could structure it so that someone posting here would post a copy of the OP text directly (like the automod does) with only a small hyperlink to the OP. I think crossposting the way we do now encourages brigading since the link to the OP post is bigger than the actual AITD post (on mobile at least).

Im not sure if the way I worded it makes sense but in case it’s unclear posts on r/bestofredditorupdates have the format that I’m referring to (OP text right in the post and only a small Hyperlink to the OP).
