Reddit has begun issuing warnings to users to regularly upvote violent content with a view to taking harsher action in future.

The company says that it will consider expanding this action to other forms of content in future.

Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.

Define ‘violent.’

No. You will simply receive a warning if we don't like your activity on the site.

Really, what are you doing interacting with this website to begin with? Stop posting. Stop commenting. Stop voting.

Just. Consume. The. Content.

We need your eyeballs for the ads. Everything else is driving up our costs.
