I'd like to request an update to the 'User' Section, mentioning that Karma is also used as an automated way to bar people from posting further on reddit, if their Karma becomes negative. WhisperToMe ( talk) 18:41, 8 February 2014 (UTC) " Reddit Censorship? Russia Today (RT) Cries Foul Over /R/News Ban, But Reddit Says Blame The Moderator." International Business Times. " Reddit Partially Bans Russia Today For Alleged Spamming" ( Archive). " Reddit's r/news bans RT.com for alleged spamming" ( Archive). WhisperToMe ( talk) 18:38, 8 February 2014 (UTC) Breadblade ( talk) 18:16, 31 August 2013 (UTC) There is an article about this from Russia Today: " RT.com partially banned by Reddit" ( Archive).
This sort of thing happens frequently to sites that appear to be engaging in cheating or vote manipulation, and it's not surprising that Russia Today would call a ban of Russia Today censorship. Volunteer community moderators of that forum apparently banned it for breaking site rules. This site banned RT without any reason it should be noted there as censorship- Quandapanda ( talk) 11:14, 31 August 2013 (UTC) This seems to me very much like the situation described in MOS:TM, where the trademark owner accounts for most of the instances of use of unconventional capitalization and asks everyone else to do so as well. However, news sources writing about Reddit generally call it "Reddit." Users of Reddit type it both ways on the website, and there isn't any obvious way of determining the predominant way there. Reddit-the-company itself follows the convention of writing "reddit" everywhere, as is generally the case with such trademark conventions. Breadblade ( talk) 12:08, 7 November 2013 (UTC) I don't know if we can establish common use here. Forbes72 ( talk) 05:11, 7 November 2013 (UTC) The letters are pronounced individually, so MOS:TM allows that trademark to be spelled in all capitals or all lowercase, depending on how it's usually spelled out. Breadblade ( talk) 21:35, 30 August 2013 (UTC) Hmmm what about xkcd? The capitalization discussion there led to them using "xkcd" and not "Xkcd", arguing "common use" as the yardstick of note. MOS:TM says trademarks rendered without any capitals (reddit) are usually capitalized (Reddit), but trademarks beginning with a one-letter lowercase prefix pronounced as a separate letter (eBay) do not need to be capitalized if the second letter is capitalized. CGPGrey ( talk) 21:16, 30 August 2013 (UTC) Not as per Wikipedia style guidelines. If eBay is written with a lowercase 'e' on its article then reddit should be with a lowercase 'r' on its article. Reddit, according itself is written in lowercase.
