I ve gotten banned for reporting violent content, and also for inciting violence the same month, the ban for reports was something very stupid like harassing mods, person I reported was just straight up advocating for violence
Comment on Reddit could soon punish users for upvoting violent content.

Violent content is against Reddit rules. So why is the content not being removed and the poster banned?

Because when a trap kills the rats you do not punish the bait in the rat trap.

It still drives engagement. Same for the subs that have been flooded with AI stories and bot responses. It can be marketed as engagement to advertisers.

Ah so violent content is banned unless it’s making Reddit cash. Then it’s fine.

I reckon it’s more that they need to be ‘seen’ to be doing something about it, but will nonetheless take the engagement as long as it doesn’t cause a stir. I mean they had jailbait and watchpeopledie as large subreddits for ages… until they started getting flack for it.
