/r/Android Ban Megathread

We have no idea what just happened, but we'll update this post when we find out. Please don't spam the modqueue with posts about this or you'll get us banned for real lol.

edit: from Reddit Admin sodypop

Yikes, so this is how robots take over the world....

It looks like something went terribly, terribly wrong, but we've reinstated all the affected subreddits. Our apologies for the scare, and all the troubles this caused!

edit 2: For those of you who are out of the loop, the tl;dr is that /r/Android (and a few other subs) were banned for "spam" for about half an hour.

Several large subs were banned, I'm currently in contact with the admins and everything seems to be getting resolved.

Edit: admins have said it was a rogue bot that went awry on their end.

r/Android will now be banned 25% of the time due to US-China tariffs.

r/Apple avoided this ban by convincing an orange that apples were good.

level 2

Reddit is an orange in disguise!

Busted them, bring the juicers!

You made me laugh, thanks:)

Seems to have been a bigger issue going by threads on /r/redditrequest

Edit: I think we should all support /u/RandomCheeseCake in their request

For a brief moment after the ban is reverted, the "Online" count was shown as "[object Object]"

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me and my products, you little shit? I’ll have you know I'm an innovator bitch, I changed the world with numerous innovative inventions and I have over 300 confirmed patents. I am trained in Thinking Different and am the top Keynote presenter in the entire business industry. You are nothing to me but just another inferior Android shill. I will wipe you the fuck out by going thermonuclear with the precision of the likes which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking iWords. You think you can get away with dissing me and my flawless products over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Geniuses across Apple Stores around the world and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the iStorm, you inferior shill. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little things you say are better than my products. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, via iCloud. and I can make your products inferior in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in making superior products, but I have access to the entire patent reserve of the United States, and will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable products off the face of the market, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the Apple Tax, you goddamn idiot. I will throw apples all over you and you will have an Apple Pencil shoved up your ass. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
