For those of you unaware, Reddit recently updated their content policy. Please see this post.From the post:As of today, users may not use Reddit to solicit or facilitate any transaction or gift involving certain goods and services, including:Firearms, ammunition, or explosives;Drugs, including alcohol and tobacco, or any controlled substances (except advertisements placed in accordance with our advertising policy);Paid services involving physical sexual contact;Stolen goods;Personal information;Falsified official documents or currencyMany subs such as /r/gundeals and /r/gunsforsale have been banned for the foreseeable future as a result of this new policy. We are just as outraged as the rest of you.Regarding the future of /r/CCW, we received this message from the admins as the bans were delivered:Important Information About Your SubredditHey mods, we want to give you notice about an update to our content policy forbidding transactions for certain goods and services; you can find details and discussion in this post. Don’t worry! We haven’t come across content in your sub that violates the new policy, which is not intended to capture mere conversations about those goods or services. We just wanted to make you aware of the change, given the focus of your community. You may wish to make your subscribers aware of the update so there are no accidental misunderstandings. Otherwise, just keep doing what you’re doing! If you have any further questions, please contact the admins. We are happy to support you!For the time being we are safe, so there is no cause for further alarm.As a result of this policy change we will be enforcing stricter rules regarding posts with firearm and ammunition sales. This includes posts linking to websites that sell firearms and ammunition.We are sorry that this is happening but we were blindsided by this as well. As we know more then we will update you all.Thank you for being an amazing community.The /r/CCW Mod Team via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2HQDmVi
