Edit: Changing this because some responses were made.

This is the full screencap given by /u/TheHat2 - thanks hatty

Note that Ocra does not understand my complaint - it is not where he mispoke, but where KiA was being held to a different standard of rules that other subs were not being held to.

This is from a previous blog post where people who were complaining about the apparent double standard were told it was okay for another subreddit to post email addresses and phone numbers for the purpose of voicing their complaints to an organization.

I appreciate the responses by the way Ocrasorm, but it really should not have taken several months to get a reply.

Hey, I have yet to get a reply to this[1] - I will copy past it here for posterity. Not it was in response to /u/Sporkicide.

Hey Sporkicide, I didn't see this post until now, 3 hours later.

We were told at /u/KotakuInAction that this was no longer allowed.

Here is a link to the aforementioned conversation: http://i.imgur.com/XaXRdPQ.jpg

Can you please give some clarity on what precisely the difference is in these two situations? I've always had a great deal of respect for you, as ever since you joined the admin team you've always been very easy to deal with. :) I'm just having a bit of difficulty understanding why one set of standards are being used when it comes to /r/AgainstMensRights , and another when it comes to /r/KotakuInAction , when it seems that the actions are very similar - contacting known public contacts for filing complaints.

In particular:

"Company@CompanySupport.com[5] - Is the above acceptable?"

"No. It is not."

Thanks, and sorry about the mess today - you're a good person. :)

If I could get a reply, I would really appreciate it. My once well-placed faith in the administration of this site is gone, and getting some *actual replies* to inquiries regarding how to actually operate your sub within the bounds of the rules would go a long way to helping make things better. Thanks.

That's not the full screencap, and I hate that it's being passed around. I shared the whole thing a while ago.

Here's the entire thing, for clarity's sake.

Now can you guys please use that one instead of the old one?

Interesting where that screenshot cuts off..

There is a lot more to that conversation and it ended with 'contact us' emails being fine for them to post. Personal emails are off limits i.e person@CompanySupport.com. You can confirm that with the mods.

The screenshot cuts off at a point where I misspoke. I messaged them back to clarify and the issue was resolved.

Edit.

I do not see any double standard. The same rule was applied. In the post on KIA there was a VP and PR manager on the list. They are individuals and not legitimate customer contact routes. We do this to minimise the chance of an individual being harassed.

The thread that Spork is is talking about did not have any individuals. It only had links to legitimate customer contact points.

I really do not think you are being held to a different standard here.
