Please, people. Be reasonable and considerate of Reddit’s need to make money. It is, afterall, spez’s main focus.

    What’s up with people posting screenshots of text here? Are these screenshots of things random no name redditors are saying on reddit? Are these pictures of posts that are getting tons of upvotes or significant in any sort of way?

      It’s highlighting a fun new way mods are protesting without being shut down.

        If this was a way mods would actually protest, wouldn’t it make sense to say who is saying it? They removed all attribution, all indication of votes, or any example of a subreddit actually doing it. Maybe I’m jaded from my many years on reddit, but I always get suspicious when I see a post like this that it could be a fake post or something.

        With that said, if moderators actually did set their subs, like /r/aww to nsfw, that would be pretty funny.

            Now that’s something worth a post, not taking a screenshot of some random nobody posting a random bit of text

      People just don’t want to link directly to the site. I know I’m still boycotting as much as possible, I’ve only gone back to post a link to a kbin guide. Also, what is a no-name redditor? Would you take this more seriously if someone else had said it?

        Not wanting to link to reddit makes sense.

        Though I would say, I would take something more seriously if a Reddit admin or a mod from a dozen subreddits said it. That would add lot more significance to a post like this.
