For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.

Whenever every ‘What’s the worst show you’ve seen?’ is asked, you’ll get 10,000 “Kardashians” answers, which is just easy karma farming.

If someone posts in a community that’s geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

    • Repost spam and karma farmers.
    • Also the bots that simulated activity by reposting the top posts with their highest upvoted comments from a year ago.
    • Cross-site/server bans because you posted in a community that the moderators of the one you are trying to post in don’t like. Sadly already happening with many servers defederating from each other.

      Defederating is fine and I think it’s a necessary evil to combat spam and problematic shit which wouldn’t even be allowed on Reddit, i.e. jailbait, loli/shota artwork, involuntary/revenge porn, bestiality, rampant hate speech.

      The problem is when you have a bot banning you from dozens of subreddits because you posted a single comment or voted on something within a community like /r/kotakuinaction, /r/tumblrinaction, /r/watchredditdie, /r/subredditcancer or anywhere else they deem a “hate subreddit.”
