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.

Which rule did he violate?
PuttItOut ago
Spam.
Laurentius_the_pyro ago
How was anything he posted 'spam'? it was A. relevant to the subverse, and B. didn't violate any rules, and C. wasn't for commercial gain.
Are unpopular posts now considered spam?
PuttItOut ago
This is ridiculous, and you know this.
Aged has been a complaint since the beginning of time. His contributions are not received well and off topic. v/Gaming is a system sub and I get the call on it.
Laurentius_the_pyro ago
No, it's not. Freedom of Speech is never ridiculous. Bans for non-rule breaking content are not a laughing matter.
so what? if he didn't break a rule then it doesn't matter.
They were absolutely on-topic, them being not "well received" is not a justification for a ban? surely users can police their own content?
And I can call you out on uneven rule enforcement.
You cannot ban someone for violating unposted rules, this is redditry.
If the rules were appended to classify "fanart" posts as off-topic and then aged was banned AFTER the rule was posted then I wouldn't have a problem with this, but as it stands you're banning a user who did not violate any rules.

you want this sub, the mainline gaming sub, to be instead v/loli
how about fucking no.
how about you go jack off somewhere else.
Laurentius_the_pyro ago
No, all I want is for the rules to be changed to ban a style of post BEFORE a user is banned for breaking the non-existent rule.

BULLSHIT
if that's what happened, you'd be hating that too.
Itty-bitty_Tity-trap ago
If you really hated loli you wouldn't be going on the sub telling people to kill themselves, you would have blocked it
