View submission: GLORIOUS MASTERRACE HEAR ME
"Brigading" requires organization and premeditation. There was no post saying "lol, go downvote everything on gaming." Rather, what you saw was an organic response to overzealous moderation, the same response which has been repeated over and over and over and over again in various internet communities over the past decade. The argument of "brigading" is the "think of the children" argument of the internet - it is irrelevant, never actually happens, and pisses people off even more. If reddit really cared about "brigading" they would ban subs like SRS, which is literally nothing more than a place to post things you want downvoted.
No, this had nothing to do with brigading, and everything to do with childish mods getting their wittle feelwing hurted, and banning an entire sub out of spite.
Once again - I'll just add this to my list of moderator over-reach which is killing reddit before our very eyes. So thanks for that.
