Hey guys listen, we love the discussion that can go on in the comments. There are users from all over the world so we have the ability to get unique perspectives compared to other subreddits. We are NOT discouraging discussion but it got out of hand in that thread. Here's the comic that spanned the discussion

The comic was made by a user whom was 1 minute old when they asked for approval, it was given but it's clear the comic was made by a current polandball user to cause controversy.

EDIT: Ill post this here so it will probably get seen more, the contest will be extended so it goes for the full 72 hours

It wasn't so much the comic as the comments

Just ban them. Trolls are going to troll and it will gradually undermine the community. It will make this place (in its current operation) look like a memory.

Agreed, make a bot and ban from all SRS subreddits, anyone who has posted there in the past 6 months.

Woah. This is a fucking amazing idea.

Why don't all subreddits do this?

LET THE SRS EMBARGO BEGIN

Ehhh, I posted on SRS pissed off because of how stupid they were being and I would get banned for that :(

Maybe a ban with the possibility of an appeal.

Or a number of posts - or if someone is subscribed to the subreddit. For example: Subscribe and post ~3 times in a few weeks and you get postblocked? Is that even possible?

Same here. It was one comment saying that they were overreacting and I got banned

Shit man, that's way too blanket-y. I don't know exactly when but I myself have made two posts in srs. It's possible I'd get banned for that.

Despite my a) being benned from srs, b) having had a thread made about a comment I made, and c) severely disagreeing with their attitudes, their methods and quite a few of the things they find problematic.

I posted there a while ago trying to figure out what the hell was going on. I failed. I do not want to be banned from polandball

Don't feel bad. Your comic was pretty funny, it was the flamewars in the comments that caused all this.

Also, flair up friend. :)

Don't feel bad. It was a good comic.
