A April fools experiment was brought back from 2017. It's called r/place.
Basically it's an area where each user can place one pixel every five minutes, however, it's shown that an admin of reddit is possibly abusing their powers by bypassing the cooldown.
This is an issue because it seems unfair to other users who have to wait before each pixel is placed.

The issue is less the admin cheating and more the "repeatedly deleting/locking/hiding threads with video proof of it happening". This literally could have blown over in a matter of hours if they hadn't done that.

So weird. I dont understand why people play games if they are gonna break the rules? Whats the point? You "win" by cheating so its not a win is it?

These generalized descriptions of events always make it feel like the person saying it is skirting around the actual details. Like any natural account would mention what's being removed and the reason behind it, yet this obviously necessary info isn't even touched on. Do people intentionally avoid giving this or just straight up don't know much about what they're trying to explain?
