Kinda… you do need to enable it in settings.

Honestly - don’t. Not unless you intend to be their 24/7 tech support…

I learnt this the hard way when I worked out my shutdown script that did this automatically had stopped working :P

But… we had those on reddit. I didn’t see many actual examples of the “moderator gone power crazy” stereotype that is so often echoed there (especially by people who fully deserved the moderator action they received).

The issue wasn’t that the rules were clear. The issue was that people refused to read them in the first place, and became hyper-defensive and obstinate whenever they were called out on it, even by moderators.

Redditors did that, rather than reddit I’d argue. Still the same result of becoming a far less useful heuristic though.

Not really sure how to “fix” a system like that, which depends on the masses to do something correctly. They… don’t.

True, but it presumably would still require the user to open them.

But, I was mostly worried that just having the server installed would be enough.

It’s only if you view a specifically crafted email in the web client… still worth upgrading of course.
