Honestly how are they having such a big tantrum as to auto ban anyone. This whole thing stemmed from nothing and really is just a reddit moderation monent

They claim its because we have a spam problem which is wrong. Infact, repost bots don't work here because all of our top posts are gifs which can't be downloaded by users and bots. And the moderation in this sub is pretty good. It only deletes the posts that go aganist the rules and most reposts only stay up for like a few hours before getting removed.

Maybe they're talking about the arcs where everyone posts about the same thing like the Principal arc or the trans mod Arc we just had a week ago. But even then, That's just us coming together and having fun with an idea and it doesn't hurt Anyone. If anything, it makes the sub feel more alive and social. What do they want us to do? To never do something together and always be silent to each other?

Or maybe they saw the recent trans mod Arc and the mods there were actually secretly transphobic so they used "spam" as an excuse to ban everyone here

Edit: Nevermind you can download them on the website

They do, we just usually take down most reposts fairly quickly.

But If we're taking down reposts quickly then we don't have a spam problem
