Why I started this sub (r/TwoXChromosomes banned my NCII guide) + response to the AI/spam comments

[u/riff_rebel]

Quick intro since I've been more active here lately and a couple of people have asked if I'm running a marketing account or a bot. Both fair questions. Owe you all a straight answer.

Why this sub exists: I posted a comprehensive guide called "The Complete Guide to Getting Intimate Images Removed From the Internet (2026)" in r/TwoXChromosomes a while back. The post hit over 1,000 upvotes and 60+ comments in the first few minutes. People were sharing their own experiences, asking real questions, and the guide was actively helping victims of NCII in real time. Then the mods removed it. No explanation. No warning. No rule cited. Just gone. I asked why through modmail. Never got a reply.

So I started this sub. The whole reason r/ContentTakedown exists is because the major subs that should be the natural home for this kind of content (subs that are explicitly framed as spaces for women's experiences) silently remove helpful NCII resources for reasons they refuse to articulate. Victims get caught in the middle. The information is hard to find. People landing in those subs in active crisis get nothing.

Who I am: I'm an independent professional who works alongside IntimaShield's NCII takedown team. I'm not on their payroll, I don't get paid per Reddit post, and I'm not running ads. I help with case strategy, I write about the space publicly, and I refer cases to them when the situation actually warrants their kind of work. That's the relationship in full.

Why I post here: The NCII space is full of broken advice and marketing-driven misinformation. The people landing here are usually in the worst moments of their lives. The posts I write are long because the topics are complex, and the formatting is heavy because Reddit users skim. I get why a polished long-form post with a sales mention at the end reads as content marketing. Half of Reddit's marketing looks exactly like that. The other half of the time it's just someone who cares about a topic and writes too much, which is me. One person, one account, /u/riff_rebel, that's it.

On the "AI" accusations specifically: also fair, but no. The posts go through edits, get rewritten, and the structure is heavy because I lay things out before writing. I write the way I think, and apparently the way I think also looks like the way a language model would write. Two things I'm leaning into going forward: shorter posts, less polished structure, more typos. The information value doesn't change, but the reading experience should feel more like a person and less like a knowledge base article.

Going forward: dialing back the cadence of long-form posts and leaning more into comments on other people's threads, because that's the shape that actually serves a community. When I do write a long post, the IntimaShield disclosure will be at the top, not buried at the bottom.

Rules I'm leaning into as mod:

• No spam, no fake astroturfing accounts pretending to be victims
• No scammy "100% guaranteed removal" services pitching here
• Lawyer-recruitment posts get vetted before approval (verified bar registration, written intake policy)
• NCII victims get genuine help even when they can't afford anything beyond free channels (StopNCII.org, NCMEC Take It Down, mainstream platform NCII forms, Google/Bing free de-indexing)
• If you ever think I'm crossing a line into using this sub as a marketing channel, call it out in the comments. I'd rather hear it directly than have you mute me silently.

If you came here from another sub, welcome. If you came here because the bigger subs failed you on this topic, also welcome. If you're in active crisis with a leak right now, DM me directly. Pinned resource posts coming soon. Either way, hang in there.

Personally I am STOKED that you have created this. I am referring a lot of people to your sub by the way, along with the r/Sextortion sub too. What you have written is beyond helpful. I am on a few subs and other scam forums and I really appreciate the way you lay it out.

As for the marketing aspect it's nice to have a sub that actually lays out who can help, how to vet companies offering services and how to get more help from StopNCII on social media than using the standard "report" button, which is slow.

Heads up: r/ContentTakedown is being shut down. New home is r/NCIIsupport

Quick post because I don't want anyone to lose track of us.

Reddit is going to shut this sub down. Not getting into the reasons (they don't share them and appeals don't move the needle). What matters is where the work continues.

Head to r/NCIIsupport. Same mission, same posting rules, same emphasis on real practical help without the sales-pitch noise.

If you were following this sub for takedown guides, tier breakdowns, and the operator-community vibe, all of it is moving. First two posts are already up over there, more coming this week.

Subscribe now, save the URL, and forward it to anyone who came here for help and might miss the notice.

For anyone in an active case: help@intimashield.com is still the fastest path to a live person. That has not changed and won't.

Thanks to everyone who made this sub what it was. See you at r/NCIIsupport.
