No, harassment was allowed, and isn't listed yet in the rules list[1].

Reddiquette, on the other hand, doesn't allow harassment. However, reddiquette is just an informal wiki article intended to drive moderators to set reasonable rules.

They're implementing improvements to facilitate discussion in order to synergize the conversation with a more enterprise, touch-base solution. How much clearer does it need to be?

It's being handled by the admins now instead of mods I guess.

TL;DR: People asked a question in yesterday's "Transparency" admin post that wasn't getting much transparency as shadowbans were being applied without explanation. To deal with the issue and appear "transparent", Admins found a worthy situation from 2 years ago to justify adding a new rule, which then justifies any further shaddowbans on the topic.

Glad this is happening. My life has literally been terrorized by an entity of users - I am filing a police report as its become very personal and across many platforms. There goes that 8 year badge.
