For anyone wondering what happened - Hi-Rez Erez's account was banned from Reddit.

General Reddit rules state that one shall not "Ask for votes or engage in vote manipulation."

This includes:

Buying votes or using services to vote.

Sharing links with your friends or coworkers and asking them to vote.

Creating submissions such as "For every upvote I will ..." or "... please upvote this!", regardless of the cause.

As you can see by Erez's original post and another Erez post asking for votes on the Global Agenda 2 Sub-Reddit, he was begging for votes to release information. Having been on Reddit for quite some time, he should know better.

TL;DR: Someone reported Hi-Rez Erez for vote manipulation and was banned from Reddit for it.

Short story:

Erez posted in GA2 community subreddit

Asked for Upvotes to leak more spoils, asking for upvotes is against reddit's rules and can be considered "Vote Manipulation"

Was reported by someone (most likely from the tribes community)

Got banned.

What does "vote manipulation" matter? Is there anything other than showing a general consensus on a comment or thread linked to upvotes? Like really..

But why? What's the reason behind it? Does voting do a damn thing other than show an opinion?

[–]ACDtubes [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

dictates how visible posts are, for one.

[–]tomscott90M'belly [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

It's to prevent larger companies from using Reddit to advertise.

Reddit only has 5 rules, and asking for upvotes is one of them.

Some salty tribes player (still upset over what happened to T:A) reported Erez's post. Here's a post from /r/tribes.

I'm asking why. Why has reddit deemed it inappropriate in every situation? why is it bannable? Does voting matter at all? If not, then why does it even matter?

[–]esportssalt [非表示スコア]  (1子コメント)

Yes, it does, because it artificially moves posts to the top of subreddits and possibly even on r/all. It defeats the whole point of upvotes/downvotes where the community is supposed to be able to decide what is relevant to their subreddit or not.

[–]Loopy_WolfAmerica Remembers The Noodle. [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

This is the reason.

[–]AbulsaadWiki Contributor [非表示スコア]  (1子コメント)

the upvote/downvote system (in theory) is supposed to have high content or high discussion posts at the top and to filter out the low content/low discussion posts by downvoting. asking for upvotes (for example: if this post gets 50 upvotes, i'll give out 10000 gems to everyone!) manipulates this system, and causes that low quality post to rise to the top. Now we all know that posts with actual discussion never usually rise and mostly complaints that the hivemind agrees on rises, but they at least try to mitigate the flaws of the system by banning vote manipulation.

tl;dr- asking for upvotes makes the post rise to the top w/ little quality (most of the time)

Ah. Okay. Thanks for explaining.

Oh man imagine how much Twitter would be if you couldn't ask for retweets/favorites

It would be useable then.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not. I don't use twitter.

[–]dmantakaeClosed Beta player [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

I couldn't tell you why they decided to add that rule, but I'm sure they have good reasoning behind it. And honestly, as much as I loved the spoils and Erez for giving them, he should've known better.

    erez posts spoils to ga2 subreddit, asks for upvotes for more, asking for upvotes is bad, is shadow banned, meaning we cant see his posts or comments

    [–]GamerMetlil'mana don't laugh [非表示スコア]  (1子コメント)

    ehh I get it and all but the subreddit is for a game made by him.. he would have got the upvotes anyways probably.

    [–]AbulsaadWiki Contributor [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

    yeah he would've which is why it was dumb for him to ask for it anyway when he (maybe) knows he's got a lynch mob of salty tribers right outside his virtual home

    [–]DD321123Bring back arena league. [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

    Never really got the problem with him having all that sweet, sweet selfpost karma, but whatever.

      We're butthurt because HiRez straight up fucking lied to us about future content, never actually finished fixing the game's many horrible bugs, and when it was clear that they never actually intended for the game to be anything more than a cashgrab they repeatedly stalled and lied more about the future prospects of the game. They flat out blocked an effort to create a community modding community, the last hope for the game's future, and have yet to reveal why.

      Maybe you guys should actually learn the history of the companies you shill for.

      They've made a habit of lying to their consumer base in every finished game franchise so far.

      Understand why we're mad, friend.

      [–]NyctoscytheKnock knock. The butler. Get it? Hah! [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

      Still nothing to be mad about. Games die. Welcome to reality.

      [–]F5001F7 all day baby, We got this !! [非表示スコア]  (2子コメント)

      You have the monetary resource and still don't have a global forum to gather up your players.

      If i were him I'd say " Fuck You Reddit " and take my users to my own forum and spoil whatever i want.

      [–]esportssalt [非表示スコア]  (1子コメント)

      That's funny, because /r/tribes was actually made the official tribes forum and hirez shut theirs down.

      I really hope Hi-Rez just stops whatever they were going to do for GA2 for this. That's really fucked up, especially since it was something for the game.

      [–]KippykinzExecute COmmand "Rave Party" [非表示スコア]  (34子コメント)

      Ikr, that's just like to raise hype. They KNOW it's gonna get 100 upvotes. The scum who reported it...

      EDIT: Idk what life is anymore

      EDIT 2: Yep. Someone's saltyyyyyyyyyy

      It better not ruin things for Smite. If it does I'll be extremely pissed.

      [–]pieface100Thirst4Thurst [非表示スコア]  (5子コメント)

      So he got banned for raising hype in a subreddit dedicated to a game his company develops? Logic goes out the window on this one I guess.

      [–]AbulsaadWiki Contributor [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

      tbf asking for upvotes is bannable

      [–]SerphTheVoltarDivios the pussy slayer [非表示スコア]  (2子コメント)

      To be fair he did break the rules. Still probably should've seen some leniency since it was a self post and by the creator of the subreddit's game.

      [–]OriginalMuffinall men must die [非表示スコア]  (1子コメント)

      yeah i find it odd that they don't send a warning or something, pretty easy to just edit his post and remove the problematic content. I'm guessing he was in twitter mode and just didn't realise how much of an issue it was.

      [–]SerphTheVoltarDivios the pussy slayer [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

      Basically. Erez isn't exactly an expert of this whole Reddit thing.

      [–]YareenBeta Player since 2012 [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

      I understand reddit's side of the story. If they show favoritism toward companies for stuff like that, then people would be mad. I don't understand why some people have to be that butt-hurt over tribes to report someone for a game that didn't make them profit.

      He'll just make another account.
