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?

Maybe an announcement or stick post would be a good idea to get the communities input on this?

No Noids. Lol, since nulls are... Well... null, the term noid sounds funny. It's something I could hear a first year com science student call a null.
Noid: Repetitive, low value, low effort submissions that do not get much interaction.
But aren't we back at Spam now?

maybe... but at the same time aren't 'noids' the kind of thing that would be handled via downvoats in a system sub? (as some/many of aged's posts were, while others were popular).

Aged is a mild example of this, v/aww was the extreme side of it.
Even heavily down voted content is a nuiciance, especially on subs people often sort by new.

I'm not sure I'm up to speed with what happened over at v/aww, (gore spam getting banned/removed for unrelated?) anyway I think it sucks but case by case is how such rules against low effort content aught to go and "low effort" should be defined somewhere in detail for each sub, I'd be wary of banning "subversive" content though as tempting as that is it could back fire easily.
I don't think it's going to cause a real stink if users doing some fucky shit, like aged exploiting the lax rules of v/gaming, for whatever ends, require implementation of new, reasonable rules designed to prevent their fuckery, but even still there is some satisfaction in seeing aged getting downvoated for his narrowly related smut.
You do a fine job at all of this, us niggers are just jumpy like battered wives.

Those aww faggots like gabara and co were forum sliding and using gore as an excuse.
The whole aww subverse should just be made private. It's a retarded circle jerk garbage that is exact same shit as reddit version and has no purpose whatsoever but for fags to farm votes by reposting aww shit from other place.
