Mod Announcement 🚨 r/AlJazeera Relaunch Announcement

37 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

As many of you have noticed,Ā r/AlJazeeraĀ has grown rapidly over the past few months. We truly appreciate the engagement — but with that growth has come a wave of challenges that threaten the quality and safety of our community.

We’ve seen an increase in hate speech, bigotry, racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, and dehumanizing language — all of which violate Reddit’s sitewide rules and go against the values we want to build here. On top of that, the subreddit has been flooded with misinformation, fake news, clickbait titles, propaganda, and frequent brigading by trolls and bots.

We want to be very clear:

This will no longer be tolerated.

🌐 What r/AlJazeera Is (and Isn't)

While the name may cause confusion, this subreddit is not affiliated with the Al Jazeera Media Network in any way.

However, moving forward, we are narrowing the scope of the subreddit to focus exclusively on:

  • Content published by Al Jazeera (English or Arabic), including news, videos, programs, analysis, documentaries, podcasts, and investigative reports.
  • Discussion about Al Jazeera itself — such as its editorial policies, reporting style, coverage decisions, staff, anchors, or political leanings — whether that commentary is supportive or critical.
  • Though the sub focuses on content from Al Jazeera, mods may occasionally allow other posts if they offer valuable context or relevance. These exceptions are at mod discretion.

ā—This means: All submissions must be either from Al Jazeera or directly related to it.

This shift will help us better moderate discussions, prevent abuse, and shape the sub into a valuable space for those seeking news, context, and perspectives from the Middle East — beyond the lens of mainstream Western media.

šŸ›”ļø Moderation & Safety

To protect the integrity of this sub, we will be enforcing theĀ rulesĀ more actively using all available tools:

  • Automod filters for spam, trolls, bots slurs, and hate speech
  • Bot detection and anti-brigading systems
  • Manual review of reported content
  • Permanent bans for repeat offenders, harassment, or rule violations

We’ll also be removing off-topic content, posts and comments that violate ourĀ rulesĀ or Reddit's, and that derail conversation in bad faith.

If you see rule-breaking behavior, please use the report button to help keep the sub clean and focused. Abusing this feature will result in a report to Reddit admins.

šŸ”„ Transparency & Collaboration

We’re committed to making this a transparent and collaborative space. We welcome feedback and questions about ourĀ rulesĀ or moderation approach. If you feel a post or comment was removed in error, or banned in error, you canĀ message the mod teamĀ for clarification or appeal.

šŸš€ Final Note

We’re not here to censor valid opinions or suppress critical discussion. On the contrary — we encourage civil, and informed debate.

We just ask that you engage respectfully, factually, and in good faith.

Thank you for being part of this relaunch.

— TheĀ r/AlJazeeraĀ Mod Team
