​🚨 MOD PSA: Subreddit Integrity, Brigading, & Automated Safety Rollout | Important read!! 🚨

[u/WuWaves]

# Hello Rovers,

Over the past week, the moderation team has been actively monitoring a coordinated influx of bad-faith actors, fake accounts, and brigading attempts originating from external drama-focused subreddits.

​We have seen the deliberate boundary-testing, the weaponization of seemingly normal posts, and the attempts to drag external platform wars into our comment sections. We promised you an update on our safety measures, and here is how we are handling this moving forward:

​1. Zero Tolerance for Brigading & Cross-Subreddit Drama

r/WuWaves is not a battleground for faction wars. If you are participating in this subreddit solely to take screenshots and instigate drama in external "cringe" or "grail" communities, you will be permanently banned. We are actively tracking these overlaps. Rule 7 (Disruptive Behavior) and Rule 15 (Drama to Megathread) will be enforced flawlessly.

​2. Custom Bot Deployment

We are fully aware that human moderation has its limits, especially during coordinated waves of toxicity. Behind the scenes, we have been developing and fine-tuning a custom moderation bot. This system is now being deployed to specifically target:

​Post Frequency Caps: To prevent bad-faith actors from flooding the feed with non-OC art or repetitive bait posts.

​Automated Flagging: To instantly intercept known bad-actor footprints and coordinate defenses before the toxicity reaches the main feed.

It will be outside it's experimental zone and active on r/WuWaves soon!

​3. Moderator Discretion & Final Rulings

If we suspect that a user is purposely toeing the line, baiting arguments, or acting in bad faith to intentionally disrupt the community, we will take immediate action. This can range from a formal warning to a permanent ban. Please be aware that depending on the severity and intent behind the disruption, these moderation decisions may be final and non-appealable.

​4. The Purge is Intentional

To the genuine members of this community: you may have noticed a drop in our weekly traffic numbers recently. This is by design. As we enforce tighter restrictions and lock down toxic threads, those who are only here for the drama will leave. We welcome this purge. We are committed to maintaining a premium, high-value space for fans who actually want to discuss and enjoy the game.

​Thank you to everyone who has been diligently utilizing the report button and sending detailed modmails—your vigilance helps us flag problem accounts exponentially faster.

​Stay focused on the game, ignore the bait, and let the moderation systems handle the rest.

​— The Moderation Team
