I'm (pleasantly) surprised you're agreeing with me here. I really don't like your counter-spam campaign. It's more disruptive than the initial gore spam (that I didn't even notice until I saw your "counter-spam"). Makes me suspect your intentions.
I'm listening. You'll note some people complained about the "doggo" and "pupper" talk so I stopped. I also stopped using my full 10 posts per day, even though that would be perfectly within the rules. And the last several days of my Gerbil standoff I posted all at once to just get it over with. I am a reasonable monster.
I have a hard time seeing the point of doing it at all.
Downvoating the gore spam, that makes sense. Doesn't belong here. Clearly spam that should be removed. Really, it's a failure of administration that it isn't simply deleted.
But what does spamming and front paging mediocre rodent porn accomplish? You're doing far more to disrupt normal operation of the site than the spammer could have hoped for by himself.
Hell, if you really want to bury his spam with something positive that actually fits this site, why not cute white babies and children? Perhaps with some proud mothers and fathers in the shot.
Yeah, I remember seeing that and facepalming, thinking "now it will never stop".
I'm all for more positive and constructive content. We focus too much on the negative. It's important to criticize and tear down the bad, of course. But it's not enough by itself. You also have to bring people together and energize them to build new things and create something good.
I just don't think cute animal porn is quite the right image or frequency to tune into.

Watch them brand you as a filthy SJW Fascist Crypto-Jew for making this distinction.

That's a common Jewish trick. Diversity is Strength, Israel is our Ally, Removing gore from a non-gore sub is Muh Censorship!
