Gonna sticky this one too

Hey so obviously it's intense political times and I'm getting some stupid survey that's automated that should be captured with any spam filters. I'm just wondering if Boost has the spam filters not working or something like that. It's crazy right now. Every 15 minutes I get some long text message asking me to participate in a survey and I'm on the do-not-call list and all that kind of stuff. This is just out of control. Is there something else that can be done?

We've been seeing an uptick in comments that cross the line from criticism into advocating harm against individuals or groups.

That stops here.

Look, we get it. There's a lot happening politically and in the world right now that's legitimately concerning. I'm frustrated about it too. But frustration, valid as it might be, doesn't give us permission to start rallying for violence against people or justifying harm. That's the line we can't cross, and it's the line we won't cross here.

To be clear: if you're posting comments that promote, encourage, or call for violence against anyone...whether it's directed at protesters, counterprotesters, homeless individuals, police, business owners, or anyone else, your comment will be removed and you'll likely catch a ban. This is Reddit ToS, and it's our sub rule. No exceptions, no gray area.

This doesn't mean you can't criticize policy, decision-making, or actions you disagree with. Strong disagreement is fine. What's not fine is "someone should hurt this group of people" or variations thereof. That language gets removed, period.

We're a diverse-ish, heavily blue leaning sub also with people across the political and ideological spectrum. Part of keeping this place functional is enforcing basic civility standards. This is one of them.

If you see comments that violate this, report them. We review reports and act on them. If you think a removal was unfair, you can always reach out to modmail and we'll discuss it.

Thanks for keeping this community somewhere people can actually talk to each other.
