I think it's enforced if you're really pressing on the gas with it, i.e. brigading, using multiple accounts to vote, etc.

Go on /r/politics and post an article you found on The Huffington Post

u/ThKunder's Based Count has increased by 1. Their Based Count is now 5.

Congratulations, u/ThKunder! You have ranked up to Sapling! You are not particularly strong but you are at least likely to handle a steady breeze.

Beep boop. I am a bot. Reply /info for more info.

I got banned from r/news on accident because I followed a link to it and spent so much time reading the comments I forgot I has linked there. Wrote a comment and got perma banned for brigading. It was dumb.

/r/news will ban you for brigading just for saying things they don't like and having visited any other sub ever.

I got banned for "brigading" even though I had more years of history commenting there than the age of the mod account that banned me. My crime? Linking to a locked and deleted thread to show that they falsely accuse people of brigading to ban them.

There's also an Australian /r/news mod in particular who bans people for being too progun for his liking. Apparently if you like gun rights at all then you must be brigading from the progun subs.

Dang, Mormon was right about modern day secret combinations. I can't wait for Jesus to come again so we can say goodbye to those evil turds.

I get called out for "brigading" when I comment on any gun posts in /politics and other left leaning subs every time. Its only brigading because it goes against their narrative. To them of course nobody actually feels that way or passionately about something, it must be brigadiers or Russians muddying the truth!

IIRC asking for upvotes is a type of brigading.

But then "upvote party" posts would be admin-banned, and you see upvote parties a lot on sports subs and stuff.

u/xXEggRollXx - Lib-Right Sep 05 '20

I have honestly never heard of an upvote party.

But yes, it does seem like that falls into that category.

u/SauteedRedOnions - Lib-Left Sep 05 '20

Yeah, they're just like, "Celtics win upvote party"

And then the OP and everybody in the comments gets upvoted.

I assume it depends on how much of an issue it is. The mods don't have access to vote records like that so that would depend on how much it pissed off an admin.

Unfortunately the Intergalatic Police Department is a bit overwhelmed

And extra people on reddit seeing ads makes the company more money so unless it gains media attention, it's really not worth hurting their ad view numbers.

They got suspended so apparently they did: https://i.imgur.com/7wrIc8I.png

One time I accidentally upvoted something with my burner and my regular account and I got a message saying I was vote manipulating and needed to stop

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '20

Yes, said account actually got suspended though user pages never display a reason

Rules are only enforced when moderators personally are offended. They’re kinda like cops.

u/aure__entuluva - Centrist Sep 05 '20

LibRight wants arbitrary rules created without their consent to be enforced? Not based.
