The fact that @puttitout banned aged based purely on a brigaded request thread by people who themselves are spammers (and unlike aged their 'spam' wasn't even relevant to the subverse).
Like it's very hard to feel sympathy for someone like /u/aged, but this uneven enforcement is ridiculous, why is /u/theoldones not banned when he spammed /v/gaming constantly with self posts reqursting /u/aged to be banned? Are these relevant to gaming but lewd fanart of adult female game characters is not?
If puttitout can give an explanation of which rule was broken I'd be ok with it, but as it stands "im a dictator lmao" is not an excuse to ban a user.

I'm glad you made this post now. Because we do need to work to define a new rule about people who disrupt things on purpose.
They abuse the mere fact that we don't typically ban and then shit on everything. Think about the v/aww thing a few months back. That was complete BS.
So how do we phrase this rule?

amend the spam rule to cover obvious trolling, as well as commercial interests?

you mean like Valve changing their polciy to only ban games that were "outright trolling" but then became even more arbitrary with their bans?

This is a very good point.

I know this isn't a situation that's easy to figure out.

i'm hearing a lot of complaints out of your mouth but zero counter-suggestions.
