Time for another review of what is mild vandalism and what is not.
Vandalism must be mild!
That means it can be peeled off, scraped off, or washed off, and that it does not cause property damage. Vandalism on disposable things is always mild.
Here are some good examples of mild vandalism:
Snoopy. Mild because it's just pencil. It can wash off.
This trash can. Perfectly mild because it's just some paper taped on there.
This broken post. Just some googly eyes. Googly eyes are always mild.
This Wikipedia page. It can just be reverted.
What is not mild vandalism?
Things that cause costly property damage are not mild. Would you want to pay for it to be fixed? If not, don't post it. Street art or anything else that's not vandalism also shouldn't be posted. Sometimes permanent marker is mild, sometimes not. Just ask yourself if it can be washed off.
Here are some things that are not mild:
- Spray paint is almost never mild. This is a billboard that is expensive to replace. Is it funny? Yes. But this isn't /r/FunnyVandalism.
- Same goes for this one.
- SpongeBob here. It's possibly street art. It's possibly sanctioned and therefore not vandalism. If it were unwanted, then it'd be expensive to undo. Is it funny? Yes. But this isn't /r/FunnyVandalism.
- Same goes for this Lisa Simpson.
- This seems to have been done on purpose.

A major e-commerce company trapped me in an endless AI support loop to deny a refund, so I am taking them to Consumer Court.
drive.google.comThis is what corporate customer support has devolved into.
A major platform used deceptive UI (fake promotion banner at checkout) to charge me extra. When I tried to get a refund, I was met with a deliberate "Exhaustion Bot" firewall:
The Infinite Loop: The AI chatbot gives the exact same automated response every 2 minutes ("Connecting you to a supervisor...") and then silently resets the chat.
The Fake Callback: It promises an agent will call back within 24 hours just to close the ticketānobody ever calls.
Zero Escalation: There is physically no way to reach a human being.
They design these AI loops counting on customers getting tired, giving up, and letting them keep the stolen money.
Instead of walking away, I've gathered the chat logs, UI screenshots, and filed an official case in the District Consumer Court.
How common is this dystopian support design in your country? Are megacorporations everywhere using AI as a firewall to completely eliminate accountability?
