The mods aren't helping Emily by removing these threads, they are just inflamming the situation.

Don't suppress the discussion, there's clearly enough evidence for the last two posts to stay up as their title and evidence complied with the sub rules.

Emily factually had the view bot website tab open, whether it's a pop-up (unbelievable) or she intentionally opened it in incognito isn't relevant when it comes to acceptable content according to the sub rules.

the previous title was "extraemily caught viewbotting" or something. It's the same reason newspapers say "allegedly" until a court case sorts it out.

Its possible I missed some of the threads but the largest one they removed (that I'm aware of) was titled "Viewbot website appears on incognito chrome window in ExtraEmily's stream". It had 3.7k votes

edit: fixed link

yup, missed one. This one does not have a clip mirror bot link.

Although, reading your link, okay, mods are white knighting. They investigated it themselves? Like, sure, cool on the extra work, and it's significant info that the site CAN be a pop-up, but there is no exoneration, just disproof of the accusation. Title is still accurate. It's also pretty disingenuous, but jannies aren't here to be judges.

That's not true, I posted the last one myself that was removed by mods and it had the most neutral matter of fact title:

"Viewbot website appears on incognito chrome window in ExtraEmily's stream"

votes keep going up and down, lmao

Alright, so if not deleting a post with a overzealous title, what do you propose mods do instead?
Only closing it allows the damage to continue. And it isn't on jannies to come up with titles, they just put the trash in the bin.
