Reddit Content Policy (archive capture of 11 September 2015)

Reddit provides tools to aid moderators, but does not prescribe their usage.

The policy lists unwelcome content and prohibited behavior and lists enforcement options including 'Adding restrictions to Reddit communities, such as adding NSFW tags or Quarantining' and 'Banning of Reddit communities'. It states that communities may have their own rules and moderators.

Finding INF-3.12: Primary record Reddit's content policy captured on 11 September 2015 lists quarantining and banning of communities among its enforcement options and states that Reddit does not prescribe moderators' use of its tools, and on 29 June 2020 Reddit announced that it was banning about 2,000 subreddits, including r/The_Donald and r/ChapoTrapHouse. A peer-reviewed study found that quarantining r/TheRedPill and r/The_Donald cut new-user influx by 79.5% and 58% while existing users' misogyny and racism did not change.
