With doxxing being the threat it is, I kind of get why a mod wouldn’t be comfortable with that. The absolute last thing any mod acting in good faith wants is for someone to track down and hurt in real life a member of their community. Telling people you will punch them for upvoting violent content could be seen as the first step to doxxing someone. It’s a bit over sensitive but we’ve all heard true horror stories about people getting doxxed.
i guess if viewed from an overly protective POV and maybe in a sensitive subreddit in subject matter, but in the more generic subs that make it to Popular regularly, quality shit posting needs to be considered and applauded as being such. Like if it was a subreddit for survivors of being punched by redditors, i would not make such a comment, very poor taste.
