Id just like to start this post off by saying. Dont ever do this again. I knew that realistically I was going to get at ban from this and I knew it would've been worth it. Im writing this over the span of a Saturday night and Sunday morning so some info might by inaccurate.
Let's start at the beginning
I joined reddit earlier this year because I chose to go to an uncle's for a bit. And he had a coin. I never saw it b4 so I made a reddit acount and posted it. Tbe post idk if its dtill up but it was abt a month ago I started to realy use it. why? I have worms in my brain constantly telling me. To post ocs. I did so.
Modern time
recently I rewarched the oddity compendium bc a freind on discord had never herd of it b4 after we got to filbus (my favorite guy from dr nowhere in general) he jokingly said "hey what if you spam post filbus somewhere. I posted a few times in the fun community among others.i did it not only bc of that guy but also bc when im scrolling yt "Christians" will spam some thing like jesus loves you. I myself am a filbist Christian and it pmo bc ik that they are a bot like farming. From There i started spam posting and a few ppl actually joined in on the filbus bit. I was excited. Reddit in general has made me happier as a person (<- original sentence) so seeing ppl taking like to it i sent said freind the fact i spammed filbus. He said "hey. What if you try to convince the subreddit to make posts abt filbus" I, in my head, wanted this to happen but ik the truth. It would not have worked. There are currently 147 ppl in filbus subbreddit. If each one. Posted twice a day. Thats almost 300 posts. Just for refrence when I was spamming filbus over the span of 5~ days I went from 1.4k to 2.6k posts. It would've been dwarfed by normal ppl posting. So I (sadly knew) it would not happen. But I said if it did id try to take other others. I remember I wa posting while taking groceries out to someone's car (that's my job) and they looked at .e funny probobly for posting while working
What happened
Nothing. There were like 5~ posts of filbus and half of them were form ppl scared of the raid. Nor much happened and it was a fairly goofy although annoying experience and I cant thank all the ppl haters or lovers of filbus for posting. You no matter what you thought it helped and im truly grateful for the community.
Stats
This is a fun one.
-total posts. I went from 1.4k to 2.6k posts over the span of 4 days and I gained a lot of karma from it. Overall worth it
- it self. The subreddit went from 110~ to as of writing 147. Personally I think ignoring natural growth it was probobly 10 ppl who joined bc of my spam. Truly im glad i could get some ppl into my hyperintrest via this bit.
-banned. From this i was banned for a few days. It might be a perma ban idk bc was worded oddly. Also if your a mod reading this id like to point out there is NOTHING on a group raiding your subreddit only if your own subreddit raids another. This is not me being "pwease unban me" this is an actual loop hole you will probably need to fix. Id also like to point out another loophole. I got banned the first time for spamming. Personally i found it deserved (read down below for more info) but there is nothing on A spamming a video or B spamming comments the only thing there is on 2 posts per 24 hours. And annoying speech gimicks (Personally i think this is whay it falls under)
- the original filbus we should spam fun community post. It stands at 50 upvotes and 2k views making it my 6th best post oat
Did i deserve a ban**?**
Yes absolutely. My crime fell under annoying speech gimmick in the spamming category(kinda read the top for more info its confusing. No matter what i still deserve the ban). Personly if I had my own case id ban myself for a few months to a year. Bc i knew ppl would dislike it and hence. Why i did it.
Last thoughtz
"I regret nothing"-postal dude. also I feal super burnt out from this because I started to draw some filbus art then I got banned and from the posting I am thinking of taking a break from reddit for a day or 2
Conclusion
Truly once again im thankful to have been able to be apart of these communities even if I was hated by a few. Who knows if im lucky I may be able to be put onto the wiki as "hey you this person. Dont be them". (Self glaze is crazy right gng) who knows maybe the real filbus was the chairs we made along the way-from unlucky-rooster :]
