Remember the human is the first rule on the Reddit Content Policy page[1] but the people that handle reports sure don't seem to know that. So many reports come back with the "doesn't violate Reddit's Content Policy" spiel.

I reported some posts recently where someone was calling for a witchhunt. They provided a news story about a crime, then named a person and posted pictures and said they were responsible. This was posted on a bunch of regional subreddits asking for help finding this person. But there was no mention of the person they were looking for in the article and there was no indication that the person had been identified as a suspect by law enforcement. So it was literally just some random internet person trying to enlist other random internet people to find someone.
Reported all the posts but they came back as "doesn't violate Reddit's Content Policy". Stalkers rejoice! You can enlist the help of the internet to find your prey with the full support of Reddit!
There's nothing here!
