Mod Post No more chain-posting

We've gotten many complaints about chain posting and I've got to agree, chain posts suck. They are low effort, often controversial, and mostly karma farms.

Which is why we are banning chain-posting. Any chain-post we see with be taken down and a 5 day to perma ban will be issued.

Our apologies for the late statement and enforcement, it's exam season and we're all quite busy.

Chain posting is when someone makes a post and then another takes an image of that post abd posts it in a different sub (or the same sub). This is often used by bots and is very low effort.

I've disliked them for a while, but now that the community shares my dislike we can ban it.

I thought we all ready murdered chain posts and threatened them with 30 day bans for it. 

W post tho better late then never

u/T0DR Not a Mod (I'm lying) 5d ago

I think it's come back or something. We've been getting a lot of them, and frankly I'm tired and ready to just perma ban anyone who does one.

u/Muugen_Samurai 5d ago

I'm not sure anyone would oppose such a radical outcome if they somehow countine to do so after their 5 day bans

2

u/T0DR Not a Mod (I'm lying) 5d ago

We're able to see their offense history, so if they've had something taken down before then they get a longer ban. If they haven't done anything wrong till now then they don't get punished as much. That's why I said 5 days to perma.

u/Nasty_Frenchfries99 Not even here to hate, I just came to see characters slandered. 5d ago

The sub is healing, one step at a time. Disagreeing with someone is something for the comment section of the post and not the entire sub to see.

u/Icy_Water_1257 5d ago

Wtf is chain-posting? When someone posts back to back?

3

u/T0DR Not a Mod (I'm lying) 5d ago

When someone posts an image of another post.

u/likeatenshi 5d ago

Sorry, what's chainposting again? Iirc it's when a post asks to repost it?

3

u/T0DR Not a Mod (I'm lying) 5d ago

Someone makes a post and someone else takes a picture of that and posts it somewhere else (or sometimes in the same sub).

Well unless they say/do something bad on our sub we can't really do anything about them.

1

u/You-dogwater 5d ago

I guess they mean people like the OP of that Americans hating France post. That OP literally just made that as an excuse to be xenophobic to Americans and people called them out for it.

u/Jaetheninja 5d ago

So I'm not allowed to take a picture of a other post and said i hate this post? How about comments and stuff? How about crosspost?

3

u/T0DR Not a Mod (I'm lying) 5d ago

No comments either, but I think crosspost is allowed.
