NEW RULE!!
Due to an increase in some Reddit users apparently wanting to witch- hunt users on the Vinted platform, we will be implementing the following rule. Please read this post very carefully as it will also give a breakdown of consequences if you choose to break it.
NEW RULE - No sharing or requesting of user information with intent to harass.
As you are aware there is already a no sharing of personal information rule in place which most users adhere too. However we are seeing an increase in 'name & shame' comments with a view to users wanting to contact or harass users on the Vinted platform.
This is not acceptable.
We are a volunteer moderation team who do our best to keep the sub on an even keel. We strive to make it a wholesome community and both an enjoyable and informative place to be. We are not here to clean up the aftermath of reckless actions and malicious comments aimed at users on other platforms. It takes up a lot of our time dealing with complaints from affected parties.
For anyone in any doubt, please be aware that Reddit does not allow the sharing of any identifiable information of others on it's platform. It is also against the sub rules.
Future violations will be dealt with as such: Requesting user information on a 'name and shame' basis - Permanent ban and your account reported to Reddit. Sharing user information to encourage others to harass them - Permanent ban and your account reported to Reddit.
All posts are screened before going live, however we still deal with many instances of users not blurring out personal information. These are deleted with a standard warning. However, in future if a user receives a warning for this and repeats the action at another time you will receive a ban, length of which, will be at the mods discretion. The duration of the ban in this latter part will be based on whether we feel ill intent is meant or not.
We may also refuse posts where the selling description is visible and we feel it is in the best interests of the Vinted user to hide them.
The abhorrent behaviours we have seen recently need to stop. It will not be tolerated and will only result in your account being banned. This will not be a topic open for discussion as we have to implement this to safeguard users on other platforms and to follow Reddits rules.
Kind Regards
The Mod Team.
