WARNING regarding all Religious Posts on the subreddit. SANITY MUST PREVAIL!

These days we have seen a significant spike in rule breaking reports and 100% of these reports were related to some specific posts that invite hate especially between the Hindu and Muslim community. This post is being written to address this specific issue. \#What Happened? Recently, the mod team has been relentlessly pestered with reports about rule breaking and so we investigated into the matter. Seems like some specific online hate groups have chosen our beautiful community to wage their online hate wars. Keyboard warriors who have zero personal life and ample amounts of free time have made some incredibly rude and baseless comments about each other's religions. Thus began a wave of hate comments, Hateful DM's to moderators, not forgetting this one guy who threatened to end the subreddit (lmfao). People from these hate groups have invited their friends just for the purpose of defending their hateful opinions. Some of these people (accounts) have no previous engagement on our subreddit. Some of these people choose the deliberately DM us hateful messages on modmail for banning them. Some people have even defended their hateful comments using their own alternate accounts. \#What are we doing about this issue? 1.) Permanent ban- To those hate posters. No space for hate on our subreddit. Remember Rule 1,2,3? 2.) Increase in minimum karma required to make a post - thus discouraging people who join our subreddit to specifically defend the hate posters. 3.) Cross-posting is not allowed anymore. 4.) Reporting accounts and their alt accounts to Reddit for those who subvert the ban. Thanks to their over enthusiasm, we can immediately recognize alt account behavior and instantly report them to reddit. 5.) Harsh Implementation of Rule 2. Breaking Rule 2 invites ban immediately. Whether temporary or permanent is based on the post. Moderators decision is final. \#A final message to hate posters:- You guys are the worst kind of warriors i.e. Keyboard Warriors. This is r/vijayawada. This is a subreddit specific for posts regarding Vijayawada city. We come here to ask/discuss things about our city and it's civic problems and that too PEACEFULLY. Go verbally sodomize yourselves elsewhere. Here's hoping that sanity prevails.
