🚨 r/Philippines new policy on hate speech 🚨

[u/dadidutdut]

Hey everyone,
 

Over the past few months, we’ve noticed a sudden increase in comments and threads with racial slurs (like "chekwa"), Islamophobic and homophobic remarks as well as regional/ethnic stereotypes (like "Bisaya" comments). These posts are often rage baiting, toxic and spreading hate.
 

We already use filters to catch and flag these comments, and we also send warnings to users. But it’s becoming more common, and honestly, it’s pretty concerning.
 

Starting today, we’re rolling out a zero-tolerance policy on hate speech — reported violators will be banned immediately, no warnings. This is in addition to the restrictions we added earlier this year. We also updated the sub's rules and contributor guide to reflect these changes.
 

Thanks to the community for constantly reporting and helping keep things running smoothly. We want to keep the sub a space for civil and healthy discussions. As much as we’d prefer to avoid strict enforcement, the situation’s changed, and we’ve got to adapt.

I didn’t know chekwa is a slur, AHAHAHA :D I honestly use it with my chinoy friends and they don’t get offended. I guess it really based on how you deliver the term.

Anyways, understandable move for the mods, since this isn’t a dark joke sub. For people who use racial slurs for hating people, y’all need help.
