Have anyone of you noticed that after the reddit boogeyman rule was added, people started to tell people to search things on reddit and suggesting subreddits to anons? And it wasnt even not allowed before, they started doing it after it became illegal to tell them to fuck off.
You're right, people will do anything to try and derail a thread or cast aspersions upon the OP so that no discussion can pass.
They've been doing it for years, but "the system" has evolved to the point where people only read the first reply. The Catalog doesn't help, in this regard.

No, in fact I noticed exactly the opposite in 2008 and 2009 when nobody cared if you went on reddit or not. It was just another version of digg back then and subreddits hasn't been invented yet. /b/ used to have their own downvote brigades.

There's no "reddit boogeyman" rule on the rules page, therefore it's not a rule

Threads get derailed because apparently real redditors get triggered and go apeshit, saying things like "boogeyman" and "buzzword". People used to tell cancer to go back to ebaums/gaia in 2007 and threads didn't get "derailed".
You are using a "boogeyman" right now and you don't even know it, very funny.
