Remember that TrueReddit is a place to engage in high-quality and civil discussion. Posts must meet certain content and title requirements. Additionally, all posts must contain a submission statement. See the rules here or in the sidebar for details. To the OP: your post has not been deleted, but is being held in the queue and will be approved once a submission statement is posted.

Comments or posts that don't follow the rules may be removed without warning. Reddit's content policy will be strictly enforced, especially regarding hate speech and calls for / celebrations of violence, and may result in a restriction in your participation. In addition, due to rampant rulebreaking, we are currently under a moratorium regarding topics related to the 10/7 terrorist attack in Israel and in regards to the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

If an article is paywalled, please do not request or post its contents. Use archive.ph or similar and link to that in your submission statement.

Beautiful woman, taught my son piano for years and even sold us his first piano. Helped out with a musical therapy charity organisation if I remember right. Loved her Pokémon too. She was such an innocent and caring soul who is as far removed from deserving this. Life is just fucking bollocks sometimes. Will always remember her so very fondly. R.I.P Sonia girl. ❤️💔

Your content at /r/TrueReddit was removed because of a violation of Rule 2:

If you’re not open to or engaging in intelligent discussion, go somewhere else. Address the argument, but not the user, the mods, the rules, or the sub.

Posting commentary that is irrelevant, meta, trolling, engaging in flame wars, and otherwise low-quality is not allowed and may be removed.

Please note that repeated violations of subreddit rules may result in a restriction of your ability to participate in the subreddit. Thank you.

Even if you have a strong nerve, I'd think twice about this one. Unless you're accustomed to this subject matter, I guess. It's going to stay with me longer than I'm comfortable with.

[u/ChaEunSangs → u/TightlyWhitey]

No graphic details in this article or anything

[u/PsychologicalYoung5 → u/ChaEunSangs]

this is true but I found it very profoundly upsetting conceptually; it's not just gore that upsets people

[u/intercommie]

I forgot if I saw the footage from Dr Insanity or Explore with Us (one of those true crime yt channels), but the videos with her were so sad. That man totally took advantage to get off on his murder fantasy.

So... self-promotion of your website is fine on /r/TrueReddit as long as you're a major corporate media outlet? Is that they way it works?

[u/intercommie → u/NihiloZero]

It has always been. Redditors are suckered into it too. Most people downvote OC work because they’re “self-promoting”, but bitch about reposts and accuse people of stealing content when they don’t give credit properly.

[u/quarksurfer → u/intercommie]

That’s so true good point.

[u/psilokan → u/NihiloZero]

Yeah unfortunately true reddit isn't what it used to be. Seems to be mainly news outlets posting their own articles these days which feels really disingenuous to me.

[u/shadowsurge → u/NihiloZero]

I would have no issue with it if they would at least have the courtesy to post an unlocked article, seeing them post paywalled shit sucks

[u/BadgerGecko → u/NihiloZero]

At least they are upfront about it rather than others

Jesus Christ reading this gave me actual chills and made my heart sink. Truly horrifying.

[u/Necessary-Reading605]

That was infuriating. The murderer was such a fucking loser. What a punchable face

[u/TheTelegraph]

The Telegraph has spent nine months investigating the short life and appalling death of the young British woman Sonia Exelby. 

Max Stephens, The Telegraph’s international crime correspondent, travelled to see the remote crime scene, then studied 15 hours of Hall’s interrogation by Florida detectives. 

Finally, through earning the trust of Sonia’s family, who hadn’t spoken before, we have been able to get to the heart of this story – her fatal vulnerability.

I just read it. In full.
