Just noticed today that a regular poster/commenter's entire profile is gone. Their stuff is showing up as [Removed by Reddit]. This is not the first regular poster/commenter in the sub this has happened to. I was bummed to see it.
I wanted to explain, for those who don't know: Reddit can do the same to entire subs, and has, for regular violations of the terms of service - the subs just disappear. To prevent this, we reference Reddit's terms of service in rule 2, where we prohibit 'anything that would be facilitating a sale, trade, or gift'.
This is why. We want to preserve the sub for the community, for people to be able to come together, network, ask questions, have discussions, organize, and learn more.
It's why advertising, vendor info, etc. is removed when it's posted. We're not trying to prevent people from making connections - please! make connections! - we're just trying to preserve the sub at the same time.
So: please work with us. I've seen a few great posts recently where people asked people to DM them if they wanted to meet up and talk more about the A2 psychedelic scene. I highly encourage that. Try to follow the rules so we can keep this space, and its collective knowledge, for everyone for years to come. We're six times bigger (iirc) than we were a year ago - people will keep coming if we keep this sub up and running, which (in my opinion) does everyone good.
See you around,
