Please refrain from commenting on subjects that you're ignorant about.

"Distasteful" subreddits that consist of compromising photos of teenagers taken without their knowledge are to be tolerated."

As per http://as.reddit.com/rules/

"No child pornography or sexually suggestive content featuring minors."

These kinds of things are not tolerated on Reddit.

I think if you read my comment carefully you'll discover that I didn't say "child pornography" or "sexually suggestive content featuring minors".

Are you suggesting that "child pornography" and "sexually suggestive content featuring minors" is the bright line, and that anything on the privacy spectrum that doesn't cross that line should be defended? That's the implication I get from your comment, but I'm happy to be corrected.

Voltaire nailed it best with "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."

[tptacek]

That's not a real argument. Are you seriously suggesting that there is no line to be drawn about what people can and can't post to Reddit? My guess is you don't support the posting of child pornography and snuff films.

[bduerst]

It is a real argument. Are you suggesting that you can't find "intellectual clarity" from the list of reddit rules?

[tptacek]

I told you why I don't think it's a real argument, and you responded by repeating yourself without acknowledging my point.

[bduerst]

You built a straw man and said, "Are you suggesting this straw man?" You've done this with several comments now.

It's entirely up to a private website to run itself in any manner it deems fit, and if you can't find "intellectual clarity" when the rules are posted then why do you even comment?

Alright, then, let's rephrase that a bit: "Distasteful" subreddits that consist of compromising photos of PEOPLE taken without their knowledge are to be tolerated." I'm not sure why a rule against minors suddenly makes this okay.

A link to the rules isn't going to stop things from slipping through the cracks.
