r/relationship_advice is quite infamous for its extreme stance.

We've got a pretty straightforward stance, really. We don't tolerate intolerance, and mindful consent is a pre-requisite for all things. That's it. Amazing how much that weeds out. :)

  You are well known to ban very good advice on a very specific topic - but we both know that even mentioning that would get me into trouble.

    > Well you are well known to ban very good advice on a very specific topic - but we both know that even mentioning that would get me into trouble. The only advice we ban for are: 1. advice advocating for intolerance against a protected class (e.g. lgbtq+, race, etc.) 2. anything involving violence or suicide, regardless of jokes. And beyond that, we're obligated to remove submissions involving CSA per Reddit (or Reddit Anti-Evil Operations does it for us), and in such an event we provide resources the submitter can use to seek help or an escape. It's pretty cut and dry.

      Well you just used the term "protected class". That blows my mind.

  The approved comments are actually the extreme ones. Eg.: Post: "After 10 years of marriage, today my husband didn't say good morning back to me. Is that normal?". Comments:"OMG the monster is probably planning to kill you, you must leave him at once and ruin his life."

Comments:"OMG the monster is probably planning to kill you, you must leave him at once and ruin his life." Two things: 1. Post: "After 10 years of marriage, today my husband didn't say good morning back to me. Is that normal?" These should be reported - they fall afoul of the moral judgment rule. The subreddit is focused specifically on requests for advice, not retrospective analysis. Because of the volume of moral judgment posts we receive, we tend to ban submitters for a day simply because it's written both into the rules and as a pinned post on the sub. 2. "OMG the monster is probably planning to kill you, you must leave him at once and ruin his life." We're not empowered to do anything about these - the only solution we have is to suggest that people try to disregard guidance that screams "dump" without going into why.
