/r/Shitredditsays[7] was created to mock people based on a subjective perception.

A lot of the *circlejerk subs have done that and one in particular is why I quit being a mod. On the one hand, the freedom to criticize people in authority is important; on the other hand, communities formed around mocking, ridiculing, and downvoting people they dislike aren't productive in the slightest.

Your edit with the screenshot is a prime example of the latter type of behavior.

Edit: this post[1] by /u/jpflathead sums up what I think and where I stand about SRS and many of the *CJ subreddits.

And that's why I'd like clarification on this new policy.

I can't stand mocking people behind the comfort of your computer screen. It really is cyber-bullying. I dont care whether its /r/fph /r/theredpill or /r/srs or /r/srd even. I see people say terrible things about other users all the time. Its terrible. /r/bestof needs to be watched too if not banned because when there is a popular comment under an unpopular one, you see the exact same abhorrent mocking, and abuse.

SRS isn't comparable to CJ type subs. They target specific individuals and attack them.
