During the experiment there was not enough clarity on what constitutes a “crime” post (a statement from the mayor about public safety? A news article about a suspect on the loose? A long-form article about a recently solved cold case? A recent traffic violation caught on camera? A violent felony caught on camera? An article about a proposed or past crime related legislation? …)

Because despite claims to the contrary, in practice that often resulted in confusion and disparate mod decisions.

Such lack of clear expectations is also at odds with Rule 2 in https://www.redditinc.com/policies/moderator-code-of-conduct
