View submission: An update on subreddit classification efforts

So does the V-for-violence tag apply to subs like /r/trees? It says for communities that discuss drugs.

Would that also include /r/leaves?

What qualifies something to be considered common? /r/Multicopter often has photos of people cutting their hand open with propellers. That's gore. But it's also not the focus of the community.

Is bad_cop_no_donut violence, since it sometimes shows cops beating people up?

It's just hard to draw a line on what counts for these tags to apply.

Agree here. I don’t think the broad violence + drugs is logical.

The r/trees to me is mature. recreational consumption (weed and booze) could be a finer category.

R/craftbeer is somehow violent adjacent?

As mod of /r/drugs I had immediately left a long commment explaining why drugs do not belong in the V category. Apparently the message didn’t arrive because we now got tagged as V.

If you’re a drug mod come over to the sub to discuss the issue. We’re going to protest this: https://www.reddit.com/r/DrugMods/comments/j7s4mm/test_post_looking_for_feedback_we_need_your_help/
