Reddit has begun issuing warnings to users to regularly upvote violent content with a view to taking harsher action in future.

The company says that it will consider expanding this action to other forms of content in future.

Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.

I can't find it anymore but they had the same experiment around 2015 I guess. If you upvoted too many trolls or far-right people, you could be punished for this. The idea is not new.
