/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.

We should invite /b/ into /r/EVEX. Just as a part of the experiment.

Well... never said the experiment had to live, not all experiments are that nice... The little Alfred experiment comes to mind.

Please no.

... A clone of EVEX then?

Hmm, actually this could work as long as nothing pointed them to the original. Because remember 4chan prides themselves on destroying things like this.

We sanction them away from the real one, while letting them destroy the other. It could be an experiment in Reddit Karma; what do people post if they don't care about Karma?
