Based on your description, this community member's behaviour seems rather pathologically transactional, and fundamentally self-serving.
If I were part of a community of people dedicated to a common idea and shared outcome, only to have someone selfishly hijack it after paying lip service, I, too would want to burn the bridges and salt the earth.
Furthermore, while I acknowledge a certain moral superiority of those who are relentlessly graceful, I can see no obvious alternative explanation as to why this person would engage with your community except the willingness to burn $100 of others value in order to acquire $10 of their own.
- winternett 4y agoReddit is so overrun by mediocre content and reposts on burner accounts because of "anti self promotion" policies. The real ugly truth is most of the people behind posts making it to the front page are sub mods, spammers, and wealthy individuals that pay regularly for ad promotion... Old reddit was simply better because the community was much smaller, and open to artists and creators posting their own work. When a platforms grow too big spam and other issues are inevitable, corruption is bound to happen. Instead of fighting posts from people who actually create content, the move should be towards fostering content classification and displaying and moderating content fairly and equally.
