The rest of reddit will accept this because everyone hates /r/the_donald anyway. That subreddit is an abuse of the system already.

- Gargoyle 10y agoIn what way is it an abuse of the system?

- noobermin 10y agoThis brings up memories of when moot messed with /pol/. He turned off the spam prevention scripts and captcha, made every post look like a doubles post, and let an audio recording of cuck porn play on the board page. That was sort of expected from moot though and it was 4chan after all.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoWell, yes. but he didn't mess with any of the content of any messages. If he did, the entire chan would have gone up in flames.
- tcryvt 10y agoThe content was subject to a large amount of wordfilters at the time, which would alter half the posts.
- qwertyuiop924 10y ago...but those were public. It's one thing to have a computer run search and replace on every post in the board. It's quite another to have a mod specifically edit your post, making it look like you said something you didn't.
- predakanga 10y agoI've been wondering about exactly that - would the perception of this be so negative if spez had inserted javascript to rewrite the messages on that subreddit instead?
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoNo, because that would rewrite everybody's messages. And it would be noticed immediately, so it wouldn't even matter, practically.
