I suspect most people already know but I just wasted a few minutes: Spez is Steve Huffman the CEO of reddit F--- stands for fuck

  Thanks. I would never have guessed what F—— stands for.

    When I read it in the title I though it could be some version of a regex like F.*spez - without context who knows. There's all sorts of new internet controversy every day. It's hard to keep up. If you know what spez is then it's obvious.

I could understand the outrage if someone typed a long thought out comment and just signed "sincerely, fuck spez" as a mild protest and it got removed. But that's not what's happening. The removed comments were just a variation of "fuck spez", sometimes with a pun. Just look at the comments on this very thread, just chains of "fuck spez". It's childish and very annoying, it is literally spam and if the mods refuse to treat it as such then I'm all for admin intervention.

  Sure, and in many subreddits the moderators would remove comments like that. But what's notable about this incident is that admins are taking the unusual action of removing comments.

  Since when is Reddit not full of the childish and very annoying? That’s kinda it’s thing.

  you know Redditors will find the loopholes: Fuck S P E Z, Fuckin Steven, F. Spez, Etc... Or something fancier like: > Chat gpt give me a 4 line poem about a cry baby man child who has mommy issues but is also the CEO of Reddit. > The first letter of each line should spell out Spez. Soft sobs pierce his heart, this cry baby man child, Peering through the tears, his mommy issues run wild. Elevated throne, CEO of Reddit's fame, Zealous search for solace, aching for someone to blame.
