r/me_atm mod u/DeletedFor got caught spamming his sub a while ago and was suspended. He has now created multiple alt-accounts on various subreddits to promote his sub r/me_atm (self.SubredditDrama)

It started here - https://www.reddit.com/r/spam/comments/5obckd/rme_atm_spam/ in this r/spam thread where /u/DeletedFor was called out for spamming his subreddit.

Here is one of his alt accounts which was used for the spamming and has since become idle because of his new subreddit, which I will get into in a few. ( Archive of username incase they try to delete their stuff)

Here is another account he used to promote his subreddit. Comment was deleted

Additionally, some of you might have noticed a new sub called r/MarchAgainstTrump?

Did you notice the top stickied post on that sub is for r/me_atm?

What does me_atm have to do with a political subreddit? That's because the creator of that subreddit, /u/hazardnipt, is just a sock puppet alt account for /u/DeletedFor

Proof - http://i.imgur.com/3Vtperh.png

Here is an archived comment by /u/hazardnipt. Notice how they shamelessly plug in me_atm all over the place in that comment? It's a sock puppet account.

Look at this very coincidental post from the same account advertising me_atm randomly.

So, the spam ring that was discovered here is still going on.

I really don't understand DeletedFor's endgame here. He's broken a bunch of site-wide rules and ensured that people who noticed his spam at best avoid and at worst actively try to ruin his garbage sub ... and for what? Me_atm has barely grown. ~2-3k total subs when I last checked and he's got a pile of sock puppets in his lap if the admins ever decide ban him (they should).

Anyway it seems like the quality of his spammy plugs reflects the quality of the sub as a whole. It's like pics but somehow less interesting.

I really don't get it. What is the point of putting SO much effort in to growing a sub that doesn't really serve any express purpose other than being mildly interesting? Can you make money off of it somehow?

TBH he's probably better off keeping it small. The sub claims to be like me_irl but with "OC only" so it ends up being people just posting (mostly boring imo) pictures of what they're doing irl. The quality of the posts doesn't seem that great to begin with, and quick growth would probably end up with the sub getting spammed with low effort content, product placement, and/or porn.

Spam aside, the sub could have some potential with tighter moderation. If they curated the content to keep it fresh, it could be a cool look into another person's life. Promote pictures of interesting subjects and discourage random low effort pictures of people in their cars or on their computers and it might get popular in a more organic way.

How are the admins OK with what is, in my opinion, a blatant abuse of mod privileges and powers? Do they not see it that way, or are they going hesitant to do anything about it right now?

It's not even that terrible of an idea of a sub if he had sold it to people properly and been patient. But now the whole idea is in an unsavory light.

Could you remove the biased wording from the post, e.g. "cancer mod" "cancerous" so it follows the rules?

[–]dogdiarrhea 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

How about "the cigarette smoking mod"?

Spamming r/me_atm on indiscriminate images could really have bombed.

"My grandfather passed away. A veteran of two wars, he managed to raise twelve children. Love you Gampy!"

"r/me_atm"

Wow so that's why he kept linking to that sub. It made no sense.
