“I’d say the most common posts that get reported are those of spammers,” WhoPutThatThere said. But unlike other sexting forums, the obvious spammers aren’t hawking erectile dysfunction pills-they’re stealing people’s photos and sharing them as if they were their own. Like other subreddits, redditors are encouraged to report anyone who is misbehaving, and so far, this community-reporting system has worked. They also created an AutoModerator to delete posts that aren’t formatted correctly. Any posts claiming to be underage will be removed immediately.Įach day, moderators crawl through the posts, deleting spam and banning anyone who isn’t adhering to the rules. The rules are clear-you must be 18-years-old or older and a real human person in order to participate in the forum. WhoPutThatThere and her fellow moderators deal with none of that on Reddit. Throughout the forums there are, unsurprisingly, a huge number of spambots as well. It’s impossible to tell whether or not these users are real, though many forum users seem to want to believe the original posters are who they claim to be. “16/F/Horny looking for horny dirty sexting guy mmmm” Often these threads contain demographic information, and, somewhat troubling, descriptions of snapchatters who are in their teens. Others, like, , and (all NSFW) boast tens of thousands of responses in threads bursting with graphic photos and promises of lascivious content associated with a Snapchat handle. Of all the forums that exist to facilitate sharing sexy content on Snapchat, r/DirtySnapchat is probably the most legitimate and least graphic. And for many people, snapping with strangers is an outlet, and a way to express themselves without any strings attached. While the company has tried to crack down on adult content on the app-including banning several high-profile Snapchatters last fall-sexting still runs rampant. Snapchat was built on sexting, despite numerous revelations that the photos shared to the “ephemeral” service might not actually disappear. “Just like with any ‘job’ there are highs and lows, there are frustrating moments and there are moments where things could not have worked out better.”
“I find it enjoyable to manage the subreddit,” WhoPutThatThere, who requested to be quoted only by her Snapchat username and Reddit handle, told the Daily Dot in an email. Now she, along with nine other male moderators, are in charge of running and managing the two-year-old forum that’s grown to over 25,000 subscribers, all redditors who want to find age-appropriate partners to sext with on Snapchat. Already a mod on r/Snapchat, she was just looking to make friends. When WhoPutThatThere decided to become a moderator of r/DirtySnapchat, the 22-year-old didn’t use the subreddit herself.
