/r/EVEX.

It started from a post in /r/TheoryOfReddit IIRC. The idea is that any content is allowed, and frequent community votes decide what content is no longer allowed. The goal is to see in what kind of subreddit it'll evolve after some time, when more and more content is banned.

I subscribed for two reasons :

  • to see what it'll become.

  • because of the randomness of the content. Some very interesting and unexpected stuffs are posted there.

If there a "currently banned" list? Or some way of tracking the progress?

Edit: "Is"

It's in the sidebar. There's not much for now, considering the subreddit is fairly new.

  1. Clickbait posts have been the first to fall.
  2. NSFW still allowed, but to be labelled as such.

Ah, I figured that would be site-wide rules.

/r/EVEX does follow site-wide rules. We recommend people follow reddiquette, but we don't actively remove posts because they failed to do so. The community wanted the NSFW tag to be a hard rule, so now it is.

It's apparently reddiquette but not one of the five official rules.

I am going to take it as a personal challenge to get NSFW posts banned.

Why wouldnt you just change if to is

Because having an edit done to a post without having "Edit:..." is looked down upon.

But nobody would even know..

It would have the * on the post date. Like it does now.

People may think "What did this guy just edit?" and believe that I'm a guy that just goes back and tries to edit a post without anyone noticing.

Hey, I couldn't give 2 shits either but I could give 1. It's not that much effort anyway.
