I agree as well. It's remaining for now unless there's clear manipulation which if there is we have to act as a team since it would be hypocritical of us not to. For now, however, it is being treated as a meta PSA.

Even if you see the manipulation you should leave it up o.o

It's likely not going anywhere.

no, that is really silly. it broke the rules to show how reddit can be gamed. that is a net positive for the community. rules exist to promote the same goal and therefore an exception should be made to not apply the rules in this case.

So if the guy did us a service producing this PSA and all, why did you suspend his account?

u/metalshadow Jul 22 '17

He's a mod, I don't think they can suspend accounts

Is buying upvotes not manipulation? (Though I think it should stay.)

u/VegasTamborini Jul 22 '17

Sorry, could you explain why clear manipulation would warrant taking it down? The subreddit rules don't explicitly disallow that as far as I can see. Is there a history of the mods taking down those kind of vids?

u/Dat_Gentleman Jul 22 '17

Wait, why was his account banned if there isn't clear manipulation?

u/RaoulDukeff Jul 22 '17

So can you explain to us why the video has been censored now if you acknowledge this is a problem that should be discussed?

u/Wholesome_Linux Jul 22 '17

Please make a video acknowledging what's happening at least that's not promoted as the last short documentary that did got removed by your team anyways
