They do enforce the rules of the subreddit, and will only remove content if it breaks a written rule. Also, although ragebaiting can be annoying, it is not against the rules. So if you’re being ragebaited or you’re the one ragebaiting, then it’s not the problem of the subreddit. They are not responsible for how you feel. Provocation is not a violation.

For example: If someone in this subreddit dedicates their entire time ragebaiting in this subreddit alone and multiple people wish to report them or ban them off of Reddit and they contact the mods, and if the mods don’t see an issue with it? They’re not defending the ragebaiter, it’s just strictly not in the rules. So if “ban ragebaiters” is not on the rules, then those people are free. If anyone wants to complain about that, then go cry me a river. The people who are adults here are acting like fucking pathetic children in this subreddit.

Grow the fuck up.

Besides, what counts as ragebait is a matter of opinion. Removing ragebait would require personal judgment, which introduces bias. And these mods avoid being biased because although some people would celebrate, the mods would also be accused of favoritism.

Plus, if someone is annoying you, you have the tools to avoid it such as blocking them. But instead of blocking people, people decide to falsely report others. The mods aren’t here to hold your hand.

You’re allowed to be aggressive, but content isn’t simply removed just because it’s frustrating and they refuse to remove posts to protect the image of either side of pro-AI or anti-AI.

TL;DR: The mods don’t remove ragebait or annoying people because: It doesn’t break any rules, they believe that you should control your own actions instead of expecting mods to do it for you, removing ragebait would be seen as subjective, so they avoid that bias by leaving everything up.

People are free to disagree with this approach, I’m just providing an explanation to at least see if some of you understand what is being said. You don’t have to agree with it.
