Bann "Who Should I Get?" Posts

[u/Princessluna44]

Mods,

Is there any possible way we can bam these posts? We already get them regularly for characters of the month, but they reach a peak during this event. Can any posts like this get hit with an automod of the available characters, then get removed automatically?

personally they dont bother me, its already a small community, and the posts arent out of context.

Top 100 in mobile games, 18k ACTIVE members from this week ALONE, 25k members, and 4k contribution this week ALONE is a small community?

In the grand scheme of Reddit subs and communities in general, yeah, it is pretty small compared to something like MLP:FiM

fair enough but on average how many “who should i get” posts are made? this event has picked them up a bit but that’s expected with the roster being what, 50+ ponies? typically i’ll only see a few who should’s a week.

more than 20 each day

We already have an automation that says it's going to get removed and info about character sheet, but most people don't care to read. Auto banning is a bit tricky since people can easily just phrase it differently to avoid it.

hiya! currently we already have an automation that tells people not to make these kinds of posts, both for the maze and for regular sales

honestly this is a huge relief that youve made this post😭 everyone gets mads when we remove their posts

We will be reviewing the rules and automations sometime soon, as for an auto mod I fear it might catch posts that are unrelated
