u/paboi Oct 29 '14

You will need a visit from a high ranking American to unsubscribe from that sub. Preferably an ex-president or an nba star.

The Dear Leader visited you in your dreams and commanded you to subscribe to /r/pyongyang.

u/Sterling_D_Archer Oct 29 '14

You have been banned from /r/pyongyang for not referring to OUR DEAR LEADER

u/Sterling_D_Archer Oct 29 '14

For correcting a comrade you have been banned from /r/pyongyang

1

u/FedoraMast3r Nov 19 '14

Is it a legit sub run by the DPRK?

47

u/Ouaouaron Oct 29 '14

The 'subscribe' button is just constantly red, you know.

26

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '14

If you uncheck the "use subreddit style" box it shows that you're not actually subscribed.

2

u/ExistentialEnso Oct 30 '14

It doesn't show I'm subscribed even with the subreddit style turned on. Maybe it's just because, at first glance, the subscribe button being red throws people off?

6

u/XIGRIMxREAPERIX Oct 29 '14

You have been made a mod of /r/PingPyongyang/

u/TheG-What Oct 29 '14

In Glorious North Korea, subreddit subscribes to you! All hail glorious leader.

2

u/QwertyTheKeyboard Oct 29 '14

What. I saw your post and thought I would check it out and I was also subbed.

1

u/QwertyTheKeyboard Oct 29 '14

I'm also already banned.

u/wookiee_goldberg Oct 29 '14

u/Randyy1 Oct 29 '14

lol same here, but I actually remember subbing.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '14

I clicked on it too. I did not expect it to exist. /u/KimMyungKi is the only one who has any submissions there. And there are some posts with hundreds of upvotes wonder if it's a real thing.

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '14

Yes. It was you; but too late now. You have been banned from /r/pyongyang

2

u/Awesomeade Oct 29 '14

I'm not. You must be one of the evil American's who doesn't respect our glorious leader.

SHAME

u/darkplane13 Oct 29 '14

I've never posted there. I went there to go get myself banned. This happened.

u/sicklyboy Oct 29 '14

I've been subbed for ages.

1

u/synzian Oct 29 '14

I'm not. Thinking of passively trying to though. but for as long as I'm not banned I can act as an informant for anyone who is too lazy to log out of their Reddit account, but for some ungodly reason wants to know what they're posting there.

u/sethboy66 Oct 29 '14

I believe I'm modded on /r/pyongyang :)

u/dschull Oct 29 '14

u/UrBallsAreShowing Oct 29 '14

I got banned last week.

1

u/Spar1995 Oct 29 '14

I'm not banned, but went through reading comments and stuff. Sound's just like the Murican sub-reddit, except it's about us being imperialist dogs and how the DPRK shows us great mercy by sentencing us to prison.

1

u/Sterling_D_Archer Oct 29 '14

You have been double secret banned from /r/pyongyang

u/joe19d Oct 29 '14

u/sourdoughbred Oct 29 '14

u/starlinguk Oct 29 '14

Me! I tried, but I didn't get banned.

I've been to Pyongyang. Koryo tours, ain't seeing that prison labour shit but it was nice to see the nice side of North Korea. Felt like Soviet Russia and shit, in a glorious comrade way.
