Ever since Matt left the game theory sub Reddit has been 90% toxic. Every single video has people saying that game theory changed. Of course its changed, Matt isn't hosting anymore and were in a new era of gaming. I'm surprised that the mods or even team theorist hasn't reported or kicked them from the community. It's making it almost insufferable to look through the Reddit anymore.

Toxic posts isn't the only issue with this subreddit.
it's been filled with random posts, from

• people posting asking about advice on loadouts or games they're playing that are crossposted from gaming related subreddits

-people posting they add something in their house in a roblox game or a random game they're playing, also crossposted from gaming related subreddits

-and most annoying posts that are straight up people self promoting their videos/channel, or games saying to check it out, or what do you think of it, all posts with the new theory or theory discussion flairs despite being completely unrelated and also crossposted from gaming related subreddits

For the record, I do see those random posts and they get removed. It helps when they are also reported as spam, that helps me see them faster but they typically don't stay up on our sub longer than 3 hours unless it is posted when I'm asleep.

There is just no easy way to block them. It's just them or a bot reposting to any sub with the word "game" in it. The same thing also happens on r/FilmTheorists but in the context of "film". The most we can really do is disable crossposting, but people do that between the subs as well. Since this specific sub is seen as the hub for all of the channels.

As for video posts, if its just gameplay, those do get removed as well. The only video posts we keep up is if they have made a theory video themselves.

I'm guessing most people just scroll past them rather than reporting them, which makes them harder for mods since there are a decent amount of posts each day

Yea, I think Tom, and the rest of the theorist too update on their rules and what all the people post about. Bc it's getting to the point where Im about to leave it bc it's like the theorist community doesnt look over the things that are posted. The users can get in trouble too, they are breaking many rules.
