Thank you. Good to know. I mentioned it MANY times to M7, including before the drama of the last couple months. Odd that he didn't bother to lemme know.

I've been curious as hell to know what's in /s/CultureWar.

Yeah, I had to gripe quite a bit for him to take action, LOL. What crossed the line was that they where using multiple accounts to bypass sub creation and ownership rules — and I had proof it was one guy, because they all used the same IP address.

It was literally nothing until I opened it up. One guy made a whole bunch of subs, privated them, and didn't make a single post.

Thanks for all your efforts there. What were the others that guy made? CultureWar could have been good, maybe the other subs are potentially good too. /u/prof only has the one.

I've pointed out problems with https://saidit.net/subs/new/ subs being created in series, most recently /s/MacAppNews and the like 28 days ago. But even since then there have been more so I don't know if M7 even bothered to do anything about it. Another batch 13 days ago too.

I don't care anymore.

Okay, I'm seven minutes in and this is already a rabbithole. It's the same guy as before; he makes a billion accounts and uses them to make a bunch of subs.

Thanks for digging. Might be worth drafting up another post to report about it. I can't speak for others but you'd earn cred, respect, and thanks from me. And you'd be sharing doing more than M7 does in this regard. Feel free to repeat or reword this to him as you see fit. Also/However, IMO, you should also make a draft first (ie. on a wiki page, editable by the other admins) to share with M7 to avoid making social faux-pas, security blunders, unwarranted speaking for SaidIt, or whatever. He can proof read and catch issues first. I would hope you might consider doing weekly updates in this manner for the community, in league with the other admins, and of course overseen by M7. Maybe it's just simple stats. Maybe it's more. Maybe folks will ignore them. Maybe they'll be popular. Most likely somewhere in the middle, depending on the weather.

Yw! I'm pretty much the person who deals with sub spam at this point.
