- I understand your concern about the activity on the r/heronotzero subreddit, where users appear to be targeting and harassing individuals, specifically someone referred to as "ZeroDarkTony" (ZDT) or Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr. The posts and comments you’ve referenced suggest a coordinated effort to document and expose alleged abusive behavior, but some actions described—such as doxxing, encouraging real-world confrontations, or attempting to get people fired—cross into harassment and violate Reddit’s Content Policy, which prohibits sharing personal information, targeted harassment, and inciting violence.[](https://www.reddit.com/r/heronotzero/)[](https://www.reddit.com/r/heronotzero/comments/1hjlgbx/he_is_out_on_his_bike_now/)[](https://www.reddit.com/r/heronotzero/comments/1gy8d0b/going_after_chee_again/)
- Since you’ve already reported the accounts to Reddit, here are additional steps you can take to address the harassment:
- 1. **File Detailed Reports with Reddit**: Continue using Reddit’s report form (https://www.reddit.com/report) to flag specific posts or comments for harassment, doxxing, or threats. Include screenshots and links to problematic content, like posts encouraging people to “call it in” when ZDT is live on YouTube or sharing personal details like addresses.[](https://www.reddit.com/r/heronotzero/comments/1hjlgbx/he_is_out_on_his_bike_now/)[](https://www.reddit.com/r/heronotzero/comments/1gpc0zq/reddit_has_removed_some_content_can_they_shut/)
- 2. **Contact Reddit Admins Directly**: If subreddit moderators aren’t responding, escalate to Reddit’s admins via their contact page (https://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/reddit-101/rules-reporting). Highlight how the subreddit’s purpose seems to center on targeting individuals, which violates Reddit’s rules.
- 3. **Report to Authorities if Threats Escalate**: Posts like those urging to “ramp up the pressure” to get someone jailed or sharing contact info for CPS (Child Protective Services) could be seen as incitement or doxxing. If you believe these actions pose a real-world threat, contact local law enforcement or the FBI’s tip line (https://tips.fbi.gov) with evidence.[](https://www.reddit.com/r/heronotzero/)
- 4. **Protect Affected Accounts**: If you or the targeted individuals are active on Reddit, block the harassing accounts, set profiles to private, and avoid engaging with the subreddit to minimize exposure.
- 5. **Document Evidence**: Save screenshots of harassing posts or comments, including timestamps and usernames, in case further action (legal or otherwise) is needed. Posts like those by u/Hero-Light-Cody or u/Variation-Defiant, which call for real-world actions or mock personal details, could be relevant.[](https://www.reddit.com/r/heronotzero/)[](https://www.reddit.com/r/heronotzero/comments/1hxxq4z/hey_ft_top_or_bottom_it_doesnt_matter_because/)
- The subreddit’s activity, as seen in posts from users like u/Hero-Light-Cody and u/ProperMatter5021, shows a pattern of targeting ZDT with personal insults, sharing alleged personal information, and encouraging followers to take action (e.g., reporting to CPS or tracking his location). This behavior risks subreddit bans, as Reddit has already removed some content for violating terms. However, I can’t assist with directly targeting or “destroying” accounts, as that would also violate Reddit’s rules and ethical boundaries.[](https://www.reddit.com/r/heronotzero/comments/1gpc0zq/reddit_has_removed_some_content_can_they_shut/)[](https://www.reddit.com/r/heronotzero/comments/1gp8u36/hey_yall_happy_monday_its_so_weird_today_i_got/)
- If you’re directly affected (e.g., you’re ZDT or someone targeted), consider consulting a lawyer about potential defamation or harassment claims, especially if personal information has been shared. You could also explore Reddit’s “private subreddit” option if you’re part of a related community and want to limit exposure.[](https://www.reddit.com/r/heronotzero/comments/1g3ucbc/so_did_anyone_else_get_banned/)
- Would you like help drafting a report to Reddit admins, or do you have specific posts you want me to analyze further for reporting purposes? Sharing more details (without doxxing) could help me provide more tailored advice.
