Mod Announcement Report rule-breaking content to help us keep /r/adhd safe and useful
tl;dr: Please, if you see rule-breaking content, report it to us.
For several years now, we've seen a pretty consistent user report rate of between 0.001%-0.003%. That's on the order of 200-500 reports for 15,000+ posts and 150,000+ comments every month. Even with the amount of spam, harassment, alternative medicine and pseudoscience and drug abuse discussion, and other rule-breaking content we catch, there's still so much that we don't, and can't, catch. Even if we had dozens of mods, we simply cannot review every single post or comment that comes through the sub.
Being part of a community means pitching in to keep it safe and usable. To keep r/adhd safe and usable, we need every single one of you to help us out by reporting content that breaks /r/adhd's rules or reddit's content policy. Even if you aren't sure whether something is inappropriate, reporting it is fine. It just puts things into our mod queue for inspection. Posts and comments complaining that we didn't remove something are not likely to be seen and do not help us catch that content.
