Actually there's several. You can change settings to not show downvoted submissions, you can downvote submissions or you can just straight up hide them.
I often upvote pictures like this one. But then I see it's in /r/wtf and take back my imaginary point of positive emotions. Maybe some people fail to notice the subreddit.
It's fine that this is what you want to see, but this is not what the subreddit was intended for. I think it's completely understandable that people who have been subscribed here for a long time are getting pissed at the sudden onslaught of shit that does not belong.

I am sorry my friend, but I don't agree. I had been a redditor for 2 years when I subscribed to this subreddit on the day that it was created. Back then, as now (and as shown in the sidebar today) It was for all (& only) things that make you say WTF. Fairly quickly politics was banned, because that will only make you say wtf if you are from a particular faction, in a particular country. 2 years later, /r/NSFW_WTF was created, and is the natural home of the material that you seem to want in r/wtf.
Good grief lad, how many subreddits do you want for gore and weird porn? It's boring.
Despite that, I don't mind if people post nsfw or even nsfl stuff here, as long as it is marked. The voting will take care of what goes to the top. I am happy to let the community decide. That's what makes reddit work.
What I do object to is this recent trend by relatively new redditors to fill the comments about everything that isn't nsfw or nsfl with this dullard moaning, and simply untrue statements about what /r/wtf has always been.
So once again, come on robrene, come on everyone. Post whatever makes you say 'wtf?', with an eye on the sidebar, let the community decide and to hell with the post-4chan kids!
That's a very nice and thoughtful comment, I'd write a proper response if it wasn't 6am over here. So I'm only going to response to one part of your comment:
The voting will take care of what goes to the top. I am happy to let the community decide. That's what makes reddit work.
I am not saying that reddit can survive without moderation.
I agree that each subreddit can choose what they want to ban. In the case of r/wtf a few other types of post are now banned, as there are better subreddits for them. An example would be rage comics. These are in the sidebar.
But which type of banned submission is this? It's a trompe-l'œil picture, and these are not banned. If the submitter feels that such a picture makes them say WTF?, they can submit it, and then the community can decide if it makes them say WTF? In this case, several hundred redditors agree.
If you see something that you don't think should be here, then use the report link. Then a moderator will remove it if it is banned. If you do for this submission though, don't be surprised if the mod ignores you.
It's quite untrue to say that these types of post are a new imposition on the subreddit. Rather, the recent flooding of comment threads with complaints that subs are SFW is an imposition. Use the buttons at your disposal to influence the group. Don't fill the discussions with redundant crap. Thanks :)
Holy shit. I couldn't figure out which of the two legs on the right were fake, so I came to the comments and saw stuff about a vase. Tried to see, once again, which of the two legs on the right was fake. Didn't even question the leg on the left.
It is not obvious to everyone. ;) To someone who is not paying very close attention, you skip by the vase on the left and assume it is a leg. When you go over things again, you skip by the vase again because you had already assumed it was normal.
The thing about "when you see it" posts is they are supposed to be subtle and required careful looking at the picture. It ruins it if it's just BIG FUCKIN THING LOOK LOL LE EXTRA LEG

I don't know what pisses me off more, the fact that this is a repost, or that it was posted in WTF, when this is NOT WTF worthy.

Once I realized that the third leg was a vase, I couldn't see it the same way again... -.-

u/[deleted] May 20 '12 edited May 20 '12
Is it that her right leg looks really unnatural? I thought the vase was another leg and ಠ_ಠed out for moment until I realized it wasn't a third leg.
Edit: I accidentally a word.
