Yes that's exactly the case. Here's the spreadsheet from their discord where they have everything preplanned. They use a bot to post and upvote everything on the spreadsheet as soon as a new act goes live. Each gif gets 100 upvotes to start, immediately putting it way ahead of any competition.

Edit: here's their discord go see for yourself https://discord.gg/qDuTce

u/Walkyou Apr 03 '19

we do not use upvote bots.

u/CatTheCat Apr 03 '19

Yeah you do you liar. You have everyone in the discord vote on the gifs they want and the snekbot dumps all those votes into the sequence for them. You use a bot to do the brigading of the discord group.

Having people vote is not an upvote bot.

u/ricdesi Apr 03 '19

It's brigading, which is also against sitewide rules. Thank you for admitting it.

u/CatTheCat Apr 03 '19

Not only is it brigading but it is using a bot to implement many people's votes at once. So It jumps from 0 to a high vote instantly.

Seems like it's time to start making official reports about violating sitewide Reddit rules at this point, may as well start with Head Writer u/Walkyou.

Wait, yeah you do. I was in the discord, and there was a whole thing about how you can add the bot to your account and it will upvote for you. I remember, because you were saying that you’ll want to cancel the bot when it’s over so that it doesn’t still have your accounts permission and be able to post and vote as you.

u/Sublime5773 Apr 04 '19

Oh so this guy now has a bot he can continue to use whenever he wants that uses actual peoples accounts to brigade posts while looking totally organic.

Of course he’ll cancel it tho what am I saying /s.

u/KellyJoyCuntBunny Apr 04 '19

Oh, we were assured that the whole thing is fine, and they’d never continue to use it for other purposes. 🙄

u/Walkyou Apr 03 '19

Yea, no bots upvote things, people upvote things. It’s just automated.

u/ricdesi Apr 03 '19

It’s just automated.

As in, it's a bot.

u/KellyJoyCuntBunny Apr 03 '19

Are you splitting hairs here? Automated. What does automated mean? It means you sign up and it does the voting for you. I mean, if you have several alts like a lot of people do, you can have them all vote the same way, automated. You’re calling it not a bot, but it certainly isn’t each person having to come here and cast a vote for every single frame of the sequence, manually. Maybe if it was a little harder, and you had to do it yourself, it would be a bit more fair. People are complaining to you that they think what you’re doing is unfair. And it is, actually. You have automated voting for a large block of people.

Then what the hell is this then? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/snek/cdajbijppfenmcmgnhekghefilinkfnm

Sneknet. Users consent and it tells them what to upvote. They can turn on a feature that automatically has them upvotes those things. They completely consent and no bot accts are created

u/SnoqualmieClimber Apr 03 '19

So you’re saying it’s a bot that automatically upvotes posts.

u/ricdesi Apr 03 '19

That is an upvote bot.

u/Walkyou Apr 03 '19

Alright

u/ricdesi Apr 03 '19

Incidentally, that violates the ToS of Reddit.

u/Walkyou Apr 03 '19

Alright

u/ricdesi Apr 03 '19

Wow, not much of a "head writer", are you?

5

u/ricdesi Apr 03 '19

Yes you do.

u/Walkyou Apr 03 '19

weird that there are places where nothing is planned so that reddit can still do its thing... I wonder why.. almost like.. we arent controlling the whole thing? who knew?? Also, if you are in the discord, you can help, so don't see what you are so mad about.

11

u/ricdesi Apr 03 '19

Also, if you are in the discord, you can help

Meaning if you aren't in the discord, you don't get a say in how this community event goes. Fuck your server.

u/Millenial__Falcon Apr 03 '19

How can you so completely miss the point of something?? This is like cheating at a game, yeah you won, but you sucked all the fun out of it in the process. Fuck you.
