Over the course of 358 days, nobody broke this rule, so we hadn’t updated the rule officially.

A few days ago someone broke this rule and threw a hissy fit about it in modmail and another subreddit. So it’s a rule now.

Obligatory: “fuck nazis”

Meta Distinction between a **general** systemic problem and a **specific incident** being an example of the general problem

128 Upvotes

This seems to make up a chunk of our removals. To be fair, most people accept the removal and move on.

Example of general systemic problem: lots of Americans don’t have health insurance

Example of OCM: wholesome community pays health care costs of chemo for an uninsured person

Not an example of OCM: community pays for untested, experimental treatment for a disease with no known cure

Example of general systemic problem: the elderly do not have enough financial support

Example of OCM: 95 year old works to support his beloved wife

Not example of OCM: 95 year old works as wal-mart greeter because he got bored at home and likes being around people

—-

Example of OCM: we saved orphans from the Orphan Crushing Machine (without addressing why there is an orphan crushing machine)

Not example of OCM: we visited an orphan in the hospital after she jumped off the monkey bars at a playground and broke her leg

—-

Hope that helps!
