EDIT 2: Old habits die hard. When I was making the post, I accidentally put subreddit and not subverse in the title.

The sub doesn't seem to agree with you on that.

Content violates spam guidelines
Broc_Lia ago
The spam guidelines are designed to hit commercial content or people promoting their youtube channel and such. I doubt someone posting a lot of the same type of content would qualify.

If the site manager hadden applied the spam rule to this ban then maybe I would agree with you. But that is not the case.
Also you can spam more than commercial content like the user did. His content is not gaming related. Is art work related.
Broc_Lia ago
As I understand it it's artwork related to games.
The global spam rule on voat recognises two forms of spam:
Commercial spam, which clearly this wasn't
Self promotion spam (spamming links to your own blog/youtube channel etc.) which again, this wasn't.
Arguably you could make a broader rule against spam specific to this sub, I've done so in /v/movieswithgoats, but that hasn't been done yet and the global rule doesn't apply to this kind of thing.

Art work is mainly for marketing. Nothing more. Fan art still related to art work as it is indirectly promoting said game in some way. Nonetheless art work and fan art are not gaming related.
The user is more than welcome to create a subverse for artwork and fan art or generate a discussion about art work being important for the game development but in itself it is not related to gaming.
I beg to differ for the reasons explained above.

That's seriously stretching the definition of commercial content. Anyhow, that still wouldn't work unless he's posting more artwork related to a single game he's involved in developing more than anything else.
I disagree, and if that's to be the case from now on there very much needs to be a specific rule saying so as it's not at all obvious.
Have you read the global rule? It's still pinned on /v/reportspammers
sguevar ago
I have read the rule.
Why don't you define to me gaming then. Please tell me what is gaming?
So far what I know is that artwork is related to the game development and marketing. It is not related to gaming besides the fact that is used to appeal to the visual attraction of the gamers. But related to gaming in which way? Artwork doesn't improve the gaming capabilities of the games. It is used for commercial purposes.
The user never generated any discussion at all about gaming he simply spammed images of game characters. That is it. No discussion generating is simply spamming images to create discord on an specific subverse that he didn't use to be part of in the past. His spamming is just recent.

I don't see the value of getting into a discussion about the edge cases of what might be considered a game. Metroid is clearly a game and content related to metroid is what this sub is for. Samus Arran isn't even an underage character.
Contradiction in terms. Look, I don't think you're arguing in good faith here so I'm going to drop this.
sguevar ago
But you still are arguing that artwork and fanart are gaming related. Which I fail to see the relation besides the development and marketing of said game.
I am a gamer. As a gamer I know gaming is about the functionality of the games, the updates, the bugs, game strategies, characters profiles/abilities, esports, computer specs to support a specific game, game consoles, game storylines, etc.
Artwork and fanart are simply artistics expressions inspired by the games storyline, characters, etc but are not related to gaming. They are related to the game yes, but not gaming.
You see the contradiction because you are still unable to define gaming. You think gaming = content related to game and that is in fact incorrect. But we can agree to disagree if you so like.

well check the subs banned user logs then
it seems to qualify, yes.

it would appear you just linked me something now outdated :p
Broc_Lia ago
Reportspammers is outdated because of the report system putt instituted. But as far as I know those guidelines are still the official ones for voat.
theoldones ago
k.
did you check the banned users list yet?
Broc_Lia ago
If I were to do so, what would this achieve?
