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?

I've finally gotten around to having a look at the stuff he posted and honestly I'm wondering what the fuss is all about. They're not even lolis, unless prepubescent girls have D cup breasts now. Also, the only character I actually recognise is an adult ingame.
Was there more stuff that was so bad it had to be deleted and not even show up in the removed submissions log?
Anyhow, at the very most a new sub specific spam rule might be appropriate. Something like "Users may not make more than five posts of the same type per day, with the exception of news articles."

the problem with this is who decides if it's sexualised? what if it's original game art that depicts a young looking girl in a skin tight suit? is it porn then? i would point at skullgirls as an example. that rule would make the entire game persona non grata in v/gaming.

That doesn't look sexualised to me, but I acknowledge that it's a subjective term. I don't think there's a perfectly objective solution here, that one's just a reasonably good one that seems to work well for a lot of other online art communities.
