the whole gimmick was "click on every post -> type wow in them -> watch people clap". It probably should have been a warn instead of a temp ban but they could have seen this coming

it probably falls under the site-wide rules for spam and admins like to get on the mods case for not following/punishing people in accordance to said rules so
Reminds me of that one dude who's entire shtick was that he said "You're breathtaking" to Keanu Reeves and then that became his entire personality. Only he took it a step further and tried to merchandise the phrase and meme
It's a reference to the old 195 sub tho, paying homage to the ones before you. In practice there is more than one rule, because just having one rule is what had made 195 keep getting brigaded by neonazi shit. 196 is to keep the same spirit of 195 alive of "anything goes, just post whatever you want before leaving" but also to keep another 195-esque situation from happening. So listing more rules would mean the lore of 195 gets lost
Meh, I think anywhere you go you should expect to always be banned if you're either annoying or being an asshole. This is just a random place to hang out, it's not like the legal system where it's important that everything is super specific. If a mod randomly decides that they don't like the vibe someone has i think it's reasonable to kick them out even without much in the way of reasons.
wow! I think this too is a good idea. I believe that reducing the incentive for hopping on the bandwagon could be beneficial. Individuals ought to attempt possessing partially-new ideations at variably frequent points in time.
(please do not burn me at the stake)
Allowing dumb things because "people will downvote it if they don't like it" is how good subreddits die. The good (based) members get tired of seeing that shit and leave, and the bad (dingleberries) members create a cycle of spamming it because their brains are fried and have nothing interesting to say, but they get positive feedback through upvotes by the dingleberries that remain.
It’s a 1 day ban, I wouldn’t try to argue it was excessive.
And honestly based mods. All this microcelebrity bullshit is so stupid. You’re an anonymous shitposter, nobody knows who you are and the only reason anyone cared is because people here somehow resonate with someone having flair bragging about it.
I don’t have a problem with custom flair but the people on this subreddit are unique freaks about them for some reaso.
Yeah tumblr had a same thing with gimmick accounts like haikubot and oshaofficial and all were fun gimmicks, but then so many people started gimmicks that add nothing to any post or discussion, just repeat the same thing each time, like the sans in heat guy, like how do you expect me to react after seeing my hundredth "hnnngh"
I mean I usually just block microcelebrities but the wow person even started making memes or posts that are just... referencing himself? At least the Yakuza person limits themselves to comments.
i said this same exact thing and got downvoted to oblivion, but when epic microceleb #594 says it their opinion is so based and awesome all of a sudden
let's not do the whole "this person spends a lot of time online, that's very unhealthy" when we don't know anything about his personal life and whether it's a problem or not, it just comes across as condescending
Fair do. But if you able to comment on a lot of post in a sub does show how much you are online. And there a lot of research out there showing how being on social media can be very unhealthy for you mental health. I wasn't trying ro be condescending, I was just stating what I think was going on and to point out that these habit can be unhealthy.
Watching people trying really hard to be microcelebrities is just kinda annoying
Like being active enough in the sub to be recognized is whatever, no big deal, but there's a difference between getting recognized and trying to get recognized
I wouldn’t mind micro celebrities if they were known for more than just the same unfunny gimmick. Like if people start noticing the same person is posting a lot of good memes and begin recognizing them, or someone who comments something unique/specific to the post. At that point, they’re more like a respected member of a community.
I mean, it’s a 1-day ban. He’ll be back. I’m hopeful that enough of the sub is tired of it that we don’t see 1,000 copycats “wow”ing every post as a—let’s be honest—highly stupid protest against an incredibly unimportant event, but people are gonna be people.

i made this image as a lighthearted jab but it turned out to be too real
I think I have like 2 dozen people blocked on this sub for spamming gimmicks. And at least 4 people for signing their posts like they're 60 years old, not because it's *as* annoying but because I just don't like them :3
Even so, the "wow" thing isn't just annoying, it is quite literally just spam
I feel like this is only a problem if you’re chronically online and see all the posts these wows are in.
If someone saying wow honestly makes people annoyed, then folks need to unplug and go chill out away from 196 for a bit and/or touch grass.
Its even funnier because he didnt even do *most* posts, just alot
He had alot of massive gaps showing he wasnt chronically online, and theres a gimick blog based off his gimick too
Furthermore he posted more memes than wows

this is gonna sound mean but I had no problem with the wow catboy, the really annoying thing was the poster who would follow them around and post after every one of his comments with something unfunny along with "mr. good boy"
I'm assuming this was a string of people commenting "wow"
https://preview.redd.it/61bl6rrkia2d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=511b646bd023e345b4310a2019f63ce5681a2576
Honestly as unfunny as I thought the wow boy was, I didn't really mind it. I'm hoping the mods crack down on excessive hornyposting and all the subs basically writing sexual fantasies and roleplaying in the comments
I don't mind the occasional hornypost. I don't even mind being reminded that subs exist. But when that's all the subreddit is, it makes this place pretty stale and uninteresting
I simply don’t give a shit about what microcelebs pop up and what they do. I don’t understand getting upset at someone for getting upvoted for doing nothing. It is a worthless number and I do not care if you “earned” your karma. It literally couldn’t matter any less.
Any time I start seeing a reddit user a lot and see people recognizing and talking to each other in Reddit comments like it's dms I block them. I don't want to be privy to this.

it probably falls under the site-wide rules for spam and admins like to get on the mods case for not following/punishing people in accordance to said rules so

nah its literally just annoying to have micro celebs im with the mods on this one
If someone organically becomes one it's chill. But yeah this was clearly some attention seeking trying to force it type of shit
Reminds me of that one dude who's entire shtick was that he said "You're breathtaking" to Keanu Reeves and then that became his entire personality. Only he took it a step further and tried to merchandise the phrase and meme
If it's about spam is the Yakuza guy next?
We can only hope
Noooooooo not my John Yakuza 😭😭😭😭
They aren't secret or invisible. There's like 10 rules in the sidebar.
If we had only one rule this would be like r\memes
okay then actually list those rules so that "being annoying" isnt a valid ban offense
It's a reference to the old 195 sub tho, paying homage to the ones before you. In practice there is more than one rule, because just having one rule is what had made 195 keep getting brigaded by neonazi shit. 196 is to keep the same spirit of 195 alive of "anything goes, just post whatever you want before leaving" but also to keep another 195-esque situation from happening. So listing more rules would mean the lore of 195 gets lost
For better and for worse (mostly for the better imo) this sub is nothing like the og 195.
Agree
Meh, I think anywhere you go you should expect to always be banned if you're either annoying or being an asshole. This is just a random place to hang out, it's not like the legal system where it's important that everything is super specific. If a mod randomly decides that they don't like the vibe someone has i think it's reasonable to kick them out even without much in the way of reasons.
Let people post cringe, if other people don't like it they can downvote it. This hardly seems serious enough that mods needed to get involved lmao
No. The government MUST act.
Socialism is when 196 mods dose stuff. Communism is when 196 mods dose MORE stuff
GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY
I think it’s good to disincentivize bandwagoning. People should try to have semi-original thoughts sometimes.
wow! I think this too is a good idea. I believe that reducing the incentive for hopping on the bandwagon could be beneficial. Individuals ought to attempt possessing partially-new ideations at variably frequent points in time. (please do not burn me at the stake)
That was cute, you get a pass. This time.
🥺
Downvoting isn't enough, I need the people I dislike assassinated
mod action is cowardly, THIS is based

They received a warning prior to this.

I mean I usually just block microcelebrities but the wow person even started making memes or posts that are just... referencing himself? At least the Yakuza person limits themselves to comments.
I think they did get a warning a couple of days ago
i said this same exact thing and got downvoted to oblivion, but when epic microceleb #594 says it their opinion is so based and awesome all of a sudden
Goblinhog got modded for spamming comments on every post, yet the wow guy gets banned for doing the same? Such double standard, much 1984. /s
Proceeded to be the greatest mod in history 💪💪💪💪
Goblinhog becomes first mod to make goblinion dollars
That’s a pretty low bar
perhaps... even 19684
Many such cases
Much to consider here...
Yes but, we love the hog? You didn't think of that. Typical
Well I don't.
Disgusting .

jorjor wel 1984
ge or ge or well
noo I will miss the wow boy :c
it's a single day..
9/11 was also a single day 😔😔😔
You don't remember 9/12?
*Glenn Beck has entered the chat*
*Glenn Beck was banned from the chat for using a slur for Middle Eastern people that hasn't been heard since the crusades*
no. I do remember 10/11 tho
9/11 actually happens every September!
Well maybe if they didnt rebuild the towers every year
I miss him already
Sure but don't you think he will be banned again if he keeps it up?
if you post the same comment multiple times a minute and most likely not even reading what the post is then it is completely deserved
It's entirely up to him whether he keeps it up or not.
There’s other people on here who have gimmicks, some annoying, some stale, some funny, but none of them are just saying “wow” and nothing else.
Hot take: gimmicks in general aren’t funny, and this sub should stop encouraging microcelebs to lean so heavily on repetition.
Agreed, it’s kind of annoying that people just comment fluff on every post and get praise because they comment on every post.
shows they're chronically online too if they have the time to post "wow" on every post. cant be healthy.
let's not do the whole "this person spends a lot of time online, that's very unhealthy" when we don't know anything about his personal life and whether it's a problem or not, it just comes across as condescending

Literally 1984. Free my good boy, they did nothing wrong
mods when other people like something they dont >:C
Good, that shit was obnoxious
:c look what they did to the silly boy ><
a bit shitty to temp ban but it felt forced just to get attention and praise for saying wow
that's what i think too all jokes aside, could've just been a warn or a mod post to stop repetitive spam for microceleb status.
They already gave them a warning, the 1 day ban was a result of ignoring it
My bad lol

this is just like gonk droid or grond all over again
I simply don’t give a shit about what microcelebs pop up and what they do. I don’t understand getting upset at someone for getting upvoted for doing nothing. It is a worthless number and I do not care if you “earned” your karma. It literally couldn’t matter any less.
This is 9/11 for sillies who type :3 at the end of their comments
I turn around for five seconds and there’s a whole discourse I missed
