Reminder: Relevance of people who share names with Nintendo characters to /r/CasualNintendo and Reddit's expectations for moderation with regards to violent rhetoric
Once again discussion of a high profile person who shares a name with a Nintendo character has started up again on /r/CasualNintendo.
We would like to reiterate that having the same first name as a Nintendo character does not make someone relevant to /r/CasualNintendo. This goes for anyone named Mario or Luigi or Zelda or Diddy especially, but applies more broadly as well.
Furthermore, we have received clarification from the admins on how to moderate violent rhetoric relating to the name "Luigi".
From this point forward we will be issuing comment removals for anyone making any sort of tongue in cheek reference to Luigi Mangione. This is for two reasons:
- We want to keep posts on topic.
- We want to protect our subreddit from getting banned.
We will be using the Post Guidance feature to warn all users who use terms related to this topic that it may result in a ban not only from /r/CasualNintendo but potentially Reddit as a whole. This is not a ban, simply a warning shown to users.
