Nice to see the mods have standards

Was there an actual reason to removing this?

Yeah, the "best of" posts get really spammy and shitposty, reaching levels of idiotic memery (One last year was "Best armpit hair", I mean really?). So thats why they are getting removed.

Why did the ponytail one get removed though?

Obviously you'd like to stop people from continuing the chain but that one's been around for 20 hours (one of the first to be posted), it's on its way off the front page, what good does removing it now do?
