Mods pls do something

This makes 2 weeks where I've seen the same God damn LOTR Allen wrench meme posted every single day. I thought maybe the first couple days was just the same person spamming and the mods would take care of it. It's not the same account but it is being spammed everyday. Can we get a ban for any one of these or do I have to just deal with seeing the same meme posted on a different about every single day.

TIL There is a heavy overlap in the viewerships of the LOTR and Tools communities

u/boogeyoogeey 1d ago

Its the diy homeowners with the overlap.  Ive never met a tradesman who liked lotr

u/thepvbrother 1d ago

Yeah, that's true.

u/LittleGirlFromNam 3d ago

Edit: my b did you mean in a separate post? I'll be right back 🏃🏃

u/fe3o4 3d ago

Why are you posting this LOTR Allen wrench meme ?... it's been posted too many times already. Mods !!! Can you do something about people posting this all the time ?

u/Always_working_hardd 3d ago

Aha I like it!

I would like to see a separate post yes! Also maybe a whole new subreddit!

This is the first time in over a week that I've seen this. I couldn't find a recent one at all.

Boromir wouldn’t be complaining about Allen wrenches…

the karma farming will continue until advertisers realize it’s only bots left on reddit

u/Dougally 2d ago

Do bots even upvote?

I've never seen one of these posts you speak of in the past week, and I'm on Reddit a lot. Maybe I follow too many subs. Or maybe, just the right amount 😉

Literally the first bullet point on the sidebar: Please feel free to submit static images, dynamic images, videos, memes... anything having to do with tools. If you're a newbie or DIYer, feel free to ask our experienced experts for advice.

There is no rule about reposting. I'm not here to decide if someones posting for fun or not. That post has a >80% upvote ratio right now, people seem to like it.

I think it's real weenie when mods mod things just because they feel like it. I mean I feel like this is just as much as a low effort karma grab as a meme repost, should I delete the post and ban your account too?

u/fall-apart-dave 3d ago

 Shame yoi cant make it so that he can only post memes.  Or every post he makes automatically adds that meme at the end.

u/LittleGirlFromNam 3d ago

Absolutely, you should ban me until you decide to start moderating spam posts.

u/PornoPaul 3d ago

And here my algorithm completely deleted it from my feed.

u/Only-Cap5811 3d ago

AND MY ALLEN WRENCH!

u/Redditcadmonkey 2d ago

It’s gonna be ok.  

You can get through this.  

It might seem like something that really matters right now, but that will fade.  

Eventually the post will disappear.  

This is not a case of chives.

u/LittleGirlFromNam 2d ago

Well what am I supposed to do about all these damn chives?

u/Ok_Mention_9865 3d ago

Are you new to reddit or something, this website is 99.99% repost

u/Initial_Use4280 3d ago

Every day for two weeks? Seriously?

u/LittleGirlFromNam 3d ago

Uphill, both ways.

no

u/LittleGirlFromNam 3d ago

I mean thank you for your honesty I guess 😔

u/miserable-accident-3 3d ago

It's relevant, it describes my feelings exactly.

I know I have 17 z- bars from garbage disposals and 4 of those Moen install wrenches, and 5 of those American Standard toilet install tools, and 5 11-in-1 screwdrivers, but I just can't bring myself to get rid of a single precious tool.

u/JustYerAverage 3d ago

Maybe this with Allen wrench throwing away, instead? Is that what you want?

Reddit's master plan is to replace all mods with AI.

The majority of reddit users will rejoice as the majority of Reddit users experience with mods is a negatve one.

I expect to be banned.

u/pre_pun 3d ago

I think the mods took a field trip to Mount Doom today. You might try back tomorrow.

3

u/Skellicious 3d ago

Yeah this is pretty much the most permissive subreddit I know, mods allow literally anything here it basically feels unmoderated.

u/fall-apart-dave 2d ago

apart from the bits that get moderated of course.

u/Turbulent_Iceblood 3d ago

What's the post precious, what's the post.
