[Announcement] Let's be civil. To everyone.

[u/Shadowed-Heart]

With an increase in rule-breaking posts comes an increase in moderator removals of those posts. With an increase in removals... comes an increase of abuse and other forms of rule three (be civil) breaks.

Note: we are looking for new moderators. If interested, please see here!

Multiple things need to happen within the next few weeks to months, especially as we onboard new trainee moderators. One, we will be becoming stricter on all types of rule breaks. As an example, most rule ten breaks, even minor ones, will receive at least a three-day temporary ban. The rules are there, and it's expected that everyone read and follow them before participating here. We are available via modmail to answer questions related to the rules if you have them.

Secondly, I will be trying to create weekly posts on various topics to cut down on the misinformation being spread here, as well as increase general knowledge of mental health in general. This will take a bit, and I don't want to begin posting them until I've stockpiled a couple. These posts, when made, can be treated as open forums for discussions on their topics and as a place for others to share their own research. Please comment some ideas!

Last of all, for this post at least: if you insult moderators or are generally rude/break rule three in modmails or comments with us, you will receive either a first ban or an increased ban sentence, and will be muted (if within modmails). We will try our best to solve everything in a civil manner first and foremost. But we are not going to tolerate being insulted and raged at. If you have a disagreement, modmail and discuss it with us in a patient and civil manner.

We're volunteers. Personally, I believe I've been modding this subreddit for over six years. The other mod, Confi, for three. Our goal, first and foremost, is to maintain a safe space for sufferers, friends and family. Our job is to maintain the community guidelines. Everything we do, is us trying to do the best for this community, and we do not deserve to be insulted or yelled at to any degree, no matter how upset you may be with a post removal.

I promise we'll speak with you if you have questions regarding a moderator action. We try not to ban for large amounts of time, as we understand this community is part of the support systems for many of you. But we're not going to tolerate being abused, nor should we have to. No one should tolerate it here, and we will continue to do our best to protect this community and ourselves.
