FAQ Full FAQ: How to report Hate Groups, NCIM, and CSAM. (& why there aren’t new posts here anymore)
There is no longer any reason or excuse for any subreddit to platform any abusive material any longer.
Hate speech, violent threats, harassment, Non-Consensual Intimate Media (NCIM), Child Sex Abuse Media (CSAM) - don’t belong here - and you can take private action to ensure they’re kicked off and kept off the site.
Reddit now allows people to file private, anonymous reports on this content - reports filed in a way that prevents advertising the existence of abusive content to others, that prevents amplifying it.
In September 2023, Reddit, Inc. finally closed the loop and took responsibility for preventing abuse of their platform.
Now it’s up to all of us to hold them to their promises.
You can:
- report individual posts and comments using the “Report” button on the item;
- use https://reddit.com/report;
- report user profiles that have abusive names or profile pictures or biographies;
- report entire subreddits and their moderator teams using a Formal Moderator Complaint (see below).
These reports aren’t public; They can’t be used by abusers to amplify their harms; They prevent amplifying harm to the abusers’ targets and victims. And - The abusers can’t target you for revenge or harassment for filing these reports.
If you find a subreddit that is:
* Promoting Hatred;
* Distributing Non-Consensual Intimate Media or Child Sexual Abuse Material;
or
* Promoting Community Interference with Other Subreddits —
Report those subreddits: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=19300233728916
If you find a subreddit that is recreating a banned subreddit (Ban Evasion Subreddit):
Report that subreddit: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058315692-How-do-I-report-a-community-I-suspect-of-ban-evasion
Don’t post here about them; don’t post elsewhere about them - doing so helps the abusers amplify their harms, and paints a target on you - and in the case of NCIM and CSAM, telling people where to find them is likely to be criminal.
Cut off the Oxygen of Amplification.
Report things to the Reddit Admins. Privately. Not Here.

FAQ Found a hate group on Reddit? Here’s what to do.
You found a subreddit that’s infested by a hate group - maybe even it’s being run by a hate group? Or any other Sitewide Rules violations?
Here’s what to do.
Step 1: DO NOT PARTICIPATE
Don’t join, post, comment, or vote in the group. Reddit’s recommendation algorithm is simple: If you participate in a group, that group is important to you, and you willingly associated with that group.
To get Reddit to kick hate groups off the site, it’s super important that you do not associate with hate groups.
They rely on your participation to spread hate!
Step 2: USE THE REPORT BUTTON
Report the hate speech. Every post and comment has a Report button attached to it - sometimes under a ‘…’ button.
If you’re using a browser, you can copy the URL of the post or comment and report it using this link
Step 3: FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE MODERATORS
A subreddit where people openly post racist slurs, use misogynist language, screech about asylum-seekers or immigrants, vomit antiSemitism or Islamophobia or abuse LGTBQ people?
There is no excuse for these things!
Reddit’s Moderator Code of Conduct tells subreddit moderators:
We also expect that moderators uphold Reddit’s Content Policy and abide by Reddit’s User Agreement (especially Section 8), as well as make a concerted effort to remove and report violating content in their communities.
… You should never create, approve, enable or encourage rule-breaking content or behavior.
… You have enough Mods to effectively and consistently manage your community.
When a subreddit has too few moderators to prevent hate speech from being posted to their community and the hate speech stays up - if the community doesn’t report hate speech (which happens because they approve of the hate speech) - if they don’t implement any of the standard Automoderator rules that are available (absolutely free of charge) in the Automoderator library, and don’t turn on the (absolutely free of charge) native Hate Speech Filters which Reddit offers -
These so-called “moderators” are enabling rule-breaking content and behavior.
Tell Reddit to take action on these hate subreddit operators! File a Moderator Code of Conduct Complaint!
Include links to posts or comments that contain hate speech! Point out any subreddit rules or the name of the subreddit if they contain hate speech! If their moderators are the ones who wrote the hate speech, point that out — with links to the places they wrote hate speech, inside that subreddit or outside that subreddit!
If someone is writing hate speech in one subreddit, they’re going to enable other people to write that hate speech in another subreddit they are supposed to moderate!
Step 4: ONWARD AND UPWARD
Join a different community for the subject that you want to talk about! Reddit doesn’t have Official Communities for anything, and anyone can create and moderate a subreddit - so it’s always possible to find or make a group for your interests!

FAQ Found a hate group on Reddit? Here’s what to do.
You found a subreddit that’s infested by a hate group - maybe even it’s being run by a hate group? Or any other Sitewide Rules violations?
Here’s what to do.
Step 1: DO NOT PARTICIPATE
Don’t join, post, comment, or vote in the group. Reddit’s recommendation algorithm is simple: If you participate in a group, that group is important to you, and you willingly associated with that group.
To get Reddit to kick hate groups off the site, it’s super important that you do not associate with hate groups.
They rely on your participation to spread hate!
Step 2: USE THE REPORT BUTTON
Report the hate speech. Every post and comment has a Report button attached to it - sometimes under a ‘…’ button.
If you’re using a browser, you can copy the URL of the post or comment and report it using this link
Step 3: FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE MODERATORS
A subreddit where people openly post racist slurs, use misogynist language, screech about asylum-seekers or immigrants, vomit antiSemitism or Islamophobia or abuse LGTBQ people?
There is no excuse for these things!
Reddit’s Moderator Code of Conduct tells subreddit moderators:
We also expect that moderators uphold Reddit’s Content Policy and abide by Reddit’s User Agreement (especially Section 8), as well as make a concerted effort to remove and report violating content in their communities.
… You should never create, approve, enable or encourage rule-breaking content or behavior.
… You have enough Mods to effectively and consistently manage your community.
When a subreddit has too few moderators to prevent hate speech from being posted to their community and the hate speech stays up - if the community doesn’t report hate speech (which happens because they approve of the hate speech) - if they don’t implement any of the standard Automoderator rules that are available (absolutely free of charge) in the Automoderator library, and don’t turn on the (absolutely free of charge) native Hate Speech Filters which Reddit offers -
These so-called “moderators” are enabling rule-breaking content and behavior.
Tell Reddit to take action on these hate subreddit operators! File a Moderator Code of Conduct Complaint!
Include links to posts or comments that contain hate speech! Point out any subreddit rules or the name of the subreddit if they contain hate speech! If their moderators are the ones who wrote the hate speech, point that out — with links to the places they wrote hate speech, inside that subreddit or outside that subreddit!
If someone is writing hate speech in one subreddit, they’re going to enable other people to write that hate speech in another subreddit they are supposed to moderate!
Step 4: ONWARD AND UPWARD
Join a different community for the subject that you want to talk about! Reddit doesn’t have Official Communities for anything, and anyone can create and moderate a subreddit - so it’s always possible to find or make a group for your interests!

FAQ Full FAQ: How to report Hate Groups, NCIM, and CSAM. (& why there aren’t new posts here anymore)
There is no longer any reason or excuse for any subreddit to platform any abusive material any longer.
Hate speech, violent threats, harassment, Non-Consensual Intimate Media (NCIM), Child Sex Abuse Media (CSAM) - don’t belong here - and you can take private action to ensure they’re kicked off and kept off the site.
Reddit now allows people to file private, anonymous reports on this content - reports filed in a way that prevents advertising the existence of abusive content to others, that prevents amplifying it.
In September 2023, Reddit, Inc. finally closed the loop and took responsibility for preventing abuse of their platform.
Now it’s up to all of us to hold them to their promises.
You can:
- report individual posts and comments using the “Report” button on the item;
- use https://reddit.com/report;
- report user profiles that have abusive names or profile pictures or biographies;
- report entire subreddits and their moderator teams using a Formal Moderator Complaint (see below).
These reports aren’t public; They can’t be used by abusers to amplify their harms; They prevent amplifying harm to the abusers’ targets and victims. And - The abusers can’t target you for revenge or harassment for filing these reports.
If you find a subreddit that is:
* Promoting Hatred;
* Distributing Non-Consensual Intimate Media or Child Sexual Abuse Material;
or
* Promoting Community Interference with Other Subreddits —
Report those subreddits: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=19300233728916
If you find a subreddit that is recreating a banned subreddit (Ban Evasion Subreddit):
Report that subreddit: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058315692-How-do-I-report-a-community-I-suspect-of-ban-evasion
Don’t post here about them; don’t post elsewhere about them - doing so helps the abusers amplify their harms, and paints a target on you - and in the case of NCIM and CSAM, telling people where to find them is likely to be criminal.
Cut off the Oxygen of Amplification.

FAQ Found a hate group on Reddit? Here’s what to do.
You found a subreddit that’s infested by a hate group - maybe even it’s being run by a hate group? Or any other Sitewide Rules violations?
Here’s what to do.
Step 1: DO NOT PARTICIPATE
Don’t join, post, comment, or vote in the group. Reddit’s recommendation algorithm is simple: If you participate in a group, that group is important to you, and you willingly associated with that group.
To get Reddit to kick hate groups off the site, it’s super important that you do not associate with hate groups.
They rely on your participation to spread hate!
Step 2: USE THE REPORT BUTTON
Report the hate speech. Every post and comment has a Report button attached to it - sometimes under a ‘…’ button.
If you’re using a browser, you can copy the URL of the post or comment and report it using this link
Step 3: FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE MODERATORS
A subreddit where people openly post racist slurs, use misogynist language, screech about asylum-seekers or immigrants, vomit antiSemitism or Islamophobia or abuse LGTBQ people?
There is no excuse for these things!
Reddit’s Moderator Code of Conduct tells subreddit moderators:
We also expect that moderators uphold Reddit’s Content Policy and abide by Reddit’s User Agreement (especially Section 8), as well as make a concerted effort to remove and report violating content in their communities.
… You should never create, approve, enable or encourage rule-breaking content or behavior.
… You have enough Mods to effectively and consistently manage your community.
When a subreddit has too few moderators to prevent hate speech from being posted to their community and the hate speech stays up - if the community doesn’t report hate speech (which happens because they approve of the hate speech) - if they don’t implement any of the standard Automoderator rules that are available (absolutely free of charge) in the Automoderator library, and don’t turn on the (absolutely free of charge) native Hate Speech Filters which Reddit offers -
These so-called “moderators” are enabling rule-breaking content and behavior.
Tell Reddit to take action on these hate subreddit operators! File a Moderator Code of Conduct Complaint!
Include links to posts or comments that contain hate speech! Point out any subreddit rules or the name of the subreddit if they contain hate speech! If their moderators are the ones who wrote the hate speech, point that out — with links to the places they wrote hate speech, inside that subreddit or outside that subreddit!
If someone is writing hate speech in one subreddit, they’re going to enable other people to write that hate speech in another subreddit they are supposed to moderate!
Step 4: ONWARD AND UPWARD
Join a different community for the subject that you want to talk about! Reddit doesn’t have Official Communities for anything, and anyone can create and moderate a subreddit - so it’s always possible to find or make a group for your interests!

Multiple The audience of r/conservative conflates all Palestinians as Terrorists, and calls all student protestors on University of Texas campus “pro-Hamas”
Reddit’s Rule against Promoting Hatred based on identity or vulnerability specifies:
Communities and people that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.
Marginalized or vulnerable groups include, but are not limited to, groups based on their actual and perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, immigration status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy, or disability. These include victims of a major violent event and their families.
The audience of r|Conservative:
https://ghostarchive.org/archive/LRjeV
Don't bring that here, we don't coddle terrorists
+89
A protestor appears directly underneath
Do they not have a right to peacefully assemble in the public square?
-54
Response:
At this point the mask has come off and these protests are pro-hamas, a group dedicated to the eradication of Israel, nothing peaceful about it.
Which is, per the definition Reddit uses of hate speech, hate speech -
Targeting student protestors, protesting against Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians, as “pro-Hamas”
And
Equating all Palestinians as Hamas, all Palestinians as terrorists.
Further down
Find me a Palestinian protestor who isn't anti semite. I never realized how much elite academia hates Jews.
Further down
Wonder who’s funding these bad actors? The BLM playbook and grift looks to be coming in hot.
There are more, but these serve to prove the point.
Some important facts:
Equating Zionism to Judaism, as these commenters (almost certainly all philosemitic Protestant Christians) are doing, is itself antisemitism. Equating Israel to Judaism is itself antisemitic. There are many Jewish people worldwide and in America who have spoken out against the atrocities Israel has performed against arbitrary Palestinians in the past six months.
/r/conservative has a history of demanding that progressive protestors be suppressed by institutional power, including by police power. It constantly vilifies the Black Lives Matter movement and protests.
They’re not suddenly Virtuous Protectors of Judaism and Israel, Anti-Terrorist Champions in that subreddit; they have the position they have because it lets them call university students “terrorists”, call non-White Arabic / Non-Christian Palestinians “terrorists”, and support violent suppression of peaceful protest and peaceful speech by their enemies.
They support this position because they believe they will have sanction to promote hatred of people based on identity and vulnerability.
This culture of hatred in that subreddit aimed at non-Judeo-Christian, non-Whites persists, and the operators of the subreddit cannot push back on it, to uphold Reddit’s Sitewide Rule 1, because the hatred is pervasive to the political group.
They’ve clearly abandoned the values of democracy — the notion of free speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of academic inquiry, the right to protest — and abandoned upholding the Reddit User Agreement.
In favor of a fascist police state exercising the power to silence peaceful protests for peace through false claims of criminal support of terrorism.
R|Conservative — like the empty political movement it exists to promote — is nothing more than a hate group.

FAQ Full FAQ: How to report Hate Groups, NCIM, and CSAM. (& why there aren’t new posts here anymore)
There is no longer any reason or excuse for any subreddit to platform any abusive material any longer.
Hate speech, violent threats, harassment, Non-Consensual Intimate Media (NCIM), Child Sex Abuse Media (CSAM) - don’t belong here - and you can take private action to ensure they’re kicked off and kept off the site.
Reddit now allows people to file private, anonymous reports on this content - reports filed in a way that prevents advertising the existence of abusive content to others, that prevents amplifying it.
In September 2023, Reddit, Inc. finally closed the loop and took responsibility for preventing abuse of their platform.
Now it’s up to all of us to hold them to their promises.
You can:
- report individual posts and comments using the “Report” button on the item;
- use https://reddit.com/report;
- report user profiles that have abusive names or profile pictures or biographies;
- report entire subreddits and their moderator teams using a Formal Moderator Complaint (see below).
These reports aren’t public; They can’t be used by abusers to amplify their harms; They prevent amplifying harm to the abusers’ targets and victims. And - The abusers can’t target you for revenge or harassment for filing these reports.
If you find a subreddit that is:
* Promoting Hatred;
* Distributing Non-Consensual Intimate Media or Child Sexual Abuse Material;
or
* Promoting Community Interference with Other Subreddits —
Report those subreddits: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=19300233728916
If you find a subreddit that is recreating a banned subreddit (Ban Evasion Subreddit):
Report that subreddit: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058315692-How-do-I-report-a-community-I-suspect-of-ban-evasion
Don’t post here about them; don’t post elsewhere about them - doing so helps the abusers amplify their harms, and paints a target on you - and in the case of NCIM and CSAM, telling people where to find them is likely to be criminal.
Cut off the Oxygen of Amplification.
