Emergency last minute Reddit segment request

"So apparently now you can get warned for upvoting stuff. Crazy."

Here's a /r/SubredditDrama post.
Here's the post on r/reddisafety.
Here's for the lazy ones:
Today we are rolling out a new (sort of) enforcement action across the site. Historically, the only person actioned for posting violating content was the user who posted the content. The Reddit ecosystem relies on engaged users to downvote bad content and report potentially violative content. [...]When people asked what counts as "violent", they did the usual - went silent or gave as nothing-burger answer as possible. So without set rules, this is just "fuck you, we don't like what you say and we have pretext now."So, starting today, users who, within a certain timeframe, upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies will begin to receive a warning. We have done this in the past for quarantined communities and found that it did help to reduce exposure to bad content, so we are experimenting with this sitewide. This will begin with users who are upvoting violent content, but we may consider expanding this in the future. In addition, while this is currently “warn only,” we will consider adding additional actions down the road.
Edit: they've started already removing comments, look under replies to this comment. They're insane.
Edit 2: First time in r/all. I didn't expect to be flooded this much with singular comments. Sorry lads but by this point I'm muting the post, too distracting. Don't expect answers from me from now on.
