**Moderator Warning**

> Do you think, there is anything unreliable about this site? Like a lot of suites are unreliable (ex: Reddit). Is SD one of them?

You were given instructions not to discuss Reddit here:

> [@The Situation of the Basque language is awfully overestimated](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-situation-of-the-basque-language-is-awfully-overestimated/989008/36):
>
> Moderator Note Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board! If you want to talk about the Basque language, that’s great! You’ll probably get some interesting conversation about it here. But this is not the place to bitch about reddit. Let’s have no more discussion about reddit, please. If you want to bitch about reddit, do it on reddit. Not here. Again, welcome, and we hope that you enjoy your time here.

You received a warning for violating these instructions here:

> [@Redditors wrong?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/redditors-wrong/989258/3):

> As @Johnny_Bravo says. I’m fairly active on Reddit, but I stick to specific subreddits that are germaine to my interest. Some of them are very useful, with intelligent redditors who know what they are talking about. Some are full of idiots and trolls. Regardless, if you, @Jagraze1 , are looking for a “source of truth” for things, any social media site, on its own, is, generally speaking, not necessarily going to be particularly trustworthy. “Some random redditor” might be actually well-vers…

This is a formal warning for again violating those same moderator instructions.

If you continue to violate moderator instructions, we will be forced to review your posting privileges. Do not do this again.
