    This isn't new at all, and please don't use Tildes as a "side channel" for reddit. It's fine for there to be submissions here when something truly newsworthy is happening on reddit like a major update or policy change, but not for relatively routine site events.

      Fair enough. It's news to me and was on my HN front page, although I would have rather heard the discussion from Tildes users than that of HN users.

        No problem - looks like it's getting pushed down off HN pretty quickly too (from flags and/or the flamewar detection). It's down at #47 already, even though it has about 350 points in 2 hours,...

      spez even explained they were going to start doing so. https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/f8y9nx/spring_forward_into_reddits_2019_transparency/

      spez even explained they were going to start doing so.

      When we expanded our quarantine policy, we created an appeals process for sanctioned communities. One of the goals was to “force subscribers to reconsider their behavior and incentivize moderators to make changes.” While the policy attempted to hold moderators more accountable for enforcing healthier rules and norms, it didn’t address the role that each member plays in the health of their community.

      Today, we’re making an update to address this gap: Users who consistently upvote policy-breaking content within quarantined communities will receive automated warnings, followed by further consequences like a temporary or permanent suspension. We hope this will encourage healthier behavior across these communities.
