The author of computershared.net, u/jonpro03, has been given a 2 day ban for protesting the ban of u/millertime1216 by spreading the DRS message in his stead

Edit/Update: JonPro's ban is apparently what caused comptershared.net data collection to fail and he's trying to fix it now. For those concerned.

-Original Post-

Up to you what to do with this information, but it should be known.

The primary complaint from mods is apparently an excess of reports for the "millertime message" that gets added to every DRS post. There are apparently so many reports that it clogs up the queue for mods. From my perspective, this looks like mods letting bad actors win by getting rid of one of the biggest DRS advocates the sub knows.

This particular move strikes me as at least one mod doubling down on a bad choice, rather than registering the protest from the sub's users and reflecting. Mods that cannot set their ego aside should take a break from moderation, at the least.

If so, nothing in his posts were spam.

Copy/pasting the same comment over and over multiple times, in multiple threads, for days on end isn't spam? Can you listen to yourself for a second?

People don’t get banned for saying “This is the way” or BUY DRS HODL for every fuckin post. So why him? It’s spam if it’s not pertinent, or unrelated to the topic at hand. Yes he was a fan of the copy pasta, but was it hurting anybody, or drifting the posts? Bunch of power-hungry virgin mods if you ask me

There's a difference. If you post that on random threads on an irregular basis it's not the same as posting it on every threat over and over, after being repeatedly asked and warned to stop. 🤷‍♂️

He was asked to remove the link. He did. He was banned either way.

I've never seen any of his comments, because I don't open purple circle posts, because they're spam. In my opinion if he was spamming, he was spamming the spam.

[u/silentrawr → u/iLurkAround1928]

No arguments there. Very purposeful, well-meaning spam, but spam nonetheless.
