A comment on Reddit purges 1/2 of The Donald’s moderators – replaces them with approved mods. Parent comment

Misleading summation.

Reddit will ban users for upvoting RULE BREAKING posts on quarantined subreddits. In other words, they're going to ban the people posting rule breaking content and also people promoting it via upvotes (after warnings/repeat behaviour/etc).

To let others know about this without including the RULE BREAKING part is misleading.

Given they don't have to specify the rules broken nor the posts which broke the rule, that clarification is essentially irrelevant to the way in which this policy will likely be used.
