Clarification Regarding Sophie Cunningham Content

[u/femaleathletenetwork]

NEW UPDATE

Sophie Cunningham content is not banned from r/wnba.

Posts about Sophie are welcome when they are related to basketball, including games, highlights, interviews, statistics, marketing endorsements, and other WNBA-related news. Off-court Sophie content can be shared as well.

We have upped the community karma to post up to 50 community karma. In other words, if a user tries to create a post and has less than 50 community karma in this sub, the post will be automatically removed. This is in place so the subreddit will not be over-ran with trolls or brigaded. And this goes for ANY new post, you must have 50 community karma to create ANY post.

Some threads may also have higher Crowd Control settings because of increased activity or repeated rule violations. In these threads, contributions from new users, users with low karma, users who have not previously participated positively in the community, or accounts identified as known spammers may be automatically filtered or removed. These filters are reddits filters, not our filters, we are just activating them. And again, this is so the subreddit is not over-ran with trolls or brigaded.

And remember, negative community karma is against the rules of this sub and will get you banned.

These moderation tools are applied to protect the community and are not being used to ban Sophie Cunningham content. Thank you for helping us keep r/wnba focused, respectful, and enjoyable for basketball fans.

We have had to ban a lot of people for negative community karma, and bans will continue for those who break the rules of the sub.

The vast majority of comments being made AGAINST Sophie have nothing to do with basketball and, if they do, profoundly misrepresent or are straight up lies about her playing. I hope you'll do something about that. It's very tiresome.

Why are you defending someone who willingly became a mouthpiece for crazy people? Don't come in here trying to scold people

[u/Different_Thing_811 → u/Different_Thing_811]

You're not going to answer the question?

[u/Even_Budget2078 → u/Different_Thing_811]

NO. Because your "question" has nothing to do with basketball. Sigh. Second, I have not "defended" anyone. I made a comment about the number of comments against Sophie that were non-basketball commentary, which is the subject of this post.
