Like the title says, this shit is ridiculous and we're not going to spend all afternoon moderating it. If you make a post and think it's a quality contribution to the subreddit send a message to modmail and we can approve it.
The last two days have seen something like 200 post removals to start with, so with WSB going private and it being 7pm already, which is when we're typically light on mods, I'm just going to step in and stop this nonsense for the time being.
Also, Reddit has been having server issues all day meaning automod is just fucking up all over the place and not doing it's job. This also means modmail is on the fritz, so if you don't get a response in a timely manner I apologize but there's not a lot we can do about it. If people weren't spamming the sub with garbage all day we wouldn't be here.
Lastly, as a PSA to all of the people who think they've been on WSB for a while and are confused: you haven't been on WSB for a while if this is confusing. They regularly go private. It's not the SEC, it's not the FBI, it's not whomever else they say is investigating them. It's because the mods are tired of dealing with noobs that flood the sub after a media event so they just shut it down. Hopefully that don't hit ya like a brick in the ol cranium...
This is why we can't have nice things.
Apologies to all the real ones.
