    Thanks to Mr. Rossman for his continued coverage upon Reddit’s fall from grace.

      Why did you get banned? Did you post them to /r/Noise ?
      You can’t just DoS their servers like that, but feel free to contribute noise to the appropriate sub.

        not banned, shadowbanned. I can post, but my posts aren’t visible to anyone else, and I get notifications that it’s happened.

        but the point isn’t for it to be seen, the point is to screw with their bandwidth and their servers. if you think that a single person uploading 1GB videos = DoS, you don’t know what DoS means.

          To your DoS statement, can you clarify by explaining what you are attempting to do with these uploads?

              It’s just kinda sounded like you’re trying to deny service of their bandwidth and servers.

                and you really think that a single user uploading a handful of videos is capable of taking down reddit’s servers? because that’s what a DoS attack is. and if this is what you believe, you clearly don’t understand the subject you’re discussing.

                  I think the misunderstanding is coming from me going with the wikipedia & cloudflare definition of DoS attack, which includes intent. Image

                  And, in my opinion “the point is to screw with their bandwidth and their servers” sounds like you are intending to cause disruption (presumably by being part of a larger group of users doing the same thing), you might even call it a DDoS.
