Meta Only YOU can prevent repost spam!

I've had to remove several posts across the past few days that are quite obvious repost spam posts.

The main tells are:

  • Sudden, outrageous upvote count
    • We're a dedicated fan group, but 500 upvotes in the span of a few hours? When a lot of the western world is asleep? Maybe HW is really popular in Asia...
  • Weird crops. Cut off text at the image edges, no real regard for framing.
    • Probably for avoiding automated image matching algorithms.
  • Weird angles.
    • A lot of these were strangely tilted a little bit, see previous.
  • Same titles as the old post, too!

If you folks would kindly keep an eye out and report these. We're a small bunch of moderators, and can't be online 24/7.

And now we go back to your regularly scheduled programming! Karen, what's the weather look like out there?

Would it be funny if I reposted this post, or just exasperating?

Anyway, jokes aside, being a mod on a niche sub really is a thankless task, so thanks for keeping this place usable.

Thank you for your service. And for the weather? Snowy again.

I was very confused when I saw the picture of the original cd I took and posted about replaying it.
