[Mod Post] Proposal banning pay walls and capped visit sites. Looking for input.

Reddit was created as a way to foster discussion; /r/technology is no exception to that. In that spirit, we are going considering a ban on submissions of websites that have a paywall (hard or soft) or have a capped number of visits. Yes, we know that there are work-arounds, but that also works around the purpose of this move. We, the mods of /r/technology, hope that we can encourage websites to allow access to their content for others to enjoy without cost to visitors.

Would you support the idea of blocking these sites?

Any form of threatening, harassing, or violence / physical harm towards anyone will result in a ban

We have posted this before, but this needs to be reiterated.

We understand that many of you are emotionally driven to discuss your feelings on recent events, most notably the repeal of Net Neutrality - however inciting violence towards others is never ok. It is upsetting that we even have to post this.

Do we enjoy banning people for these types of offences? No... Many of us feel as if the system has failed and want some form of repercussion. But threats of violence and harassment are not the answer here.

And to be clear - here are some examples of what will get you banned:

I hope this PoS dies in a car fire

I want to punch him in the face til his teeth fall out

And if you are trying to be slick by using this form

I never condone violence but...

I would never say he should die but...

Im not one to wish death upon but...

Let's keep the threads civil.

If you violate this rule, you will be banned for 30 days, no exceptions

I quit facebook 5 days ago and I haven't been happier

Hi all,

This was the best subreddit I could find to post this on as facebook is huge in the technology sector, I quit 5 days ago and in those 5 short dies I've lost all anxiety when it comes to checking my phone, I'm less prone to touch my phone and honestly I've spent more time with my family and less time reading online. If you're someone who struggles with putting down the phone, download your data from facebook (Photos and the like) and delete your profile, it's an amazing feeling and almost instant stress relief, my blood pressure dropped substantially in the last week

[Mod Post] Proposal banning pay walls and capped visit sites. Looking for input.

Reddit was created as a way to foster discussion; /r/technology is no exception to that. In that spirit, we are going considering a ban on submissions of websites that have a paywall (hard or soft) or have a capped number of visits. Yes, we know that there are work-arounds, but that also works around the purpose of this move. We, the mods of /r/technology, hope that we can encourage websites to allow access to their content for others to enjoy without cost to visitors.

Would you support the idea of blocking these sites?
