r/BitcoinCash subreddit change of moderation policy. Trolls will no longer be tolerated.

Hello all Bitcoin Cashers,

As we have the benefit of two Bitcoin Cash-related sub-reddits (r/btc & r/BitcoinCash), we are going to try a different approach in r/BitcoinCash.

As you will see on the sidebar, two new rules are now clearly listed:

      6. This is a Bitcoin Cash (BCH) focused subreddit. All non-BCH content should go to /r/btc, or for heavy altcoin discussion it should be posted to its respective subreddit.

      8. In contrast with r/btc moderation policies, trolling in r/BitcoinCash is a ban-able offense.

The reason for this stricter moderation is to get rid of the intentional troll/abuse type of posts that have been allowed on r/btc due to its "no censorship" policy. The free and open policy of r/btc has unfortunately been abused by such trolls.

While fully maintaining the censorship-free policies of r/btc, you may now choose to enjoy troll-free discussion in r/BitcoinCash.

Trolls will have to stick with r/btc if they want to spread their nonsense. We feel that having a choice is the optimum solution for users, and with the censorship-free rules still in full effect in r/btc, the change in r/BitcoinCash simply gives community members the power of choice.

Trolls will of course attack the new policies as "censorship". We are uninterested, as they have already been falsely claiming this toward r/btc for a long time, and it won't make much difference in their behavior.

The simple rebuttal to any claims of this nature is: r/btc's policy has not changed and remains open to all discussion (which follows the rules of that sub). Trolls are more than welcome to continue their trolling in that subreddit if they so desire. It will not be tolerated in r/BitcoinCash.

We welcome all of you who wish to participate in constructive, Bitcoin Cash-related conversation.

Thank you.
