It seems that most say leave him be and I will agree the ban was not really needed however everyone yells we should watch /new but we should also let votes decide the content, well we can't have both.
I agree the content should have been removed it was not gaming related it was in fact insulting to the community. the sub has rules like has been mentiontioned (they have been reviewed by the community at least once that I recall) number 1 on the list is they must be gaming related this was not gaming related this was insulting based on a gaming platform. They were photos with insulting titles of people being excessively happy about a new entertainment product, if you are not happy about a new console you shouldn't be getting it, yes the photos show people being far past happy into exaggerated displays for the camera. so expertShitPoster took these and decided to make fun of the people with a gaming platform in /v/gaming. Should he have been able to post this for 5 days straight and nothing done until day 5 and then a ban no they should have been pulled daily and if he kept it up after each past was deleted then yes ban him but not the way this was handled of delete all 5 at once and ban at the same time.
I will freely admit /v/gaming is the main reason I come to vote.
If we are talking about activity being a reason for a new mod /v/askvote needs a new mod cynabuns last comment was 2 months ago around the same time as his last submission so let's not start that as an excuse. /v/news needs some cleaning out as well cynabuns is over there amyacker hasn't commented or submitted in over a year. so don' try this as a justification.
Overall yes I see the posts as having been spam or clickbait either way you want to go, and the posts should have been removed.
