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.

Yup, I banned him and I stand by it.

I can't really agree with you here. Spam is so loosely defined and it seems a stretch to call his submissions spam.
Annoying? Yes. But spam? I'm not so sure it's spam and I'm not even sure if it's off topic.
So, for what it's worth (which is very little), I can't really agree with your justification. However, I ain't gotta agree and you ain't gotta give a shit about my thoughts on the subject.

Holy shit someone who actually read my post instead of just making up a strawman of what I had to say.

If it was banned for spamming reason, then it should equally be applied to all other users, unbiased.

That's the second big problem I have with this ban (the first being that he didn't actually violate the subverse rules).
The most prominent person calling for aged's ban was himself posting/"spamming" posts that were more off-topic (as in not even tangentially related to games or gaming). If aged got banned so should he (I don't think either should have been).
If the subverse rules were just amended to ban repeated low-effort nsfw posts and then bans were handed out for posts made AFTER the rule change I wouldn't be complaining.

I totally agree with your reasoning. In my opinion, the correct course of action should have being creating new subverse rule first; then wait for submitter to break the rule. And only if this happens should this user be banned from the subverse. I also insist that subverse rules be as objective as possible and apply them unbiased, to all users.
Putt has history of doing the right thing. Maybe I have missed it somewhere. Has he explained this yet?
