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?

If you're going to be that subjective, and you may need to, then I'd suggest an entirely new rule.
"Making Putt clean up after you."
I may be drinking, but right now that idea seems pretty good. Don't cause drama by doing stupid shit that makes the admin have to pay attention. Ideally, the admin shouldn't even know most usernames. If you know their username, they're probably a problem.
Granted, I much prefer a hands off/minimal approach, but I'm not the one that gets hundreds of retarded pings every day.
I wish you luck! If you need a picture of a middle finger and help burning the place to the ground, let me know!

Two problems:
Putt's intervention arguably wasn't necessary here
That effectively makes it ok for putt to delete anything then ban the user because he had to clean up after them. The whole point of this is to have clear rules about what kind of content should be removed and under what circumstances users can be banned.

Also, I responded twice. Now three times!
