Tough one. I like the idea of creating /r/ads as a safe space for advertisers. Aside from that though, I'd leave it up to individual subs. As you have most of the big subs, for that I'd recommend an "Ad" flair/tag, so that you are calling them out but not censoring/removing. I guess in another system you could move all ads to /r/ads, but you can't really move content here.

Maybe spam/high volume ads is another use case where we should ban and delete the posts.

I do think voting solves this mostly although maybe that changes if downvote goes away.

Good ideas. We'll just let the voting handle it for now. If it becomes a recurring problem we'll set up one of those solutions you mentioned.

server guy says the adds are almost certainly bots so perhaps we need some super-basic capcha system or something to prove people aren't robots when they create an account

yeah that's doable. maybe reddit captchas again if we can make them behave a little better.

Yeah perhaps we can turn the distortion down or something

Yeah I saw, I think we'll do the /r/ads thing and delete those in the future

random non-sequiter: Orangutan suggested to me in chat that we create/unban /r/pizzagate I think mainly to spite reddit and show we're better. Thought I'd pass it along.

Okay I'll unban it I guess. I wish they'd just create a new one called /r/pedophilescandal or something more legitimate, using that name is not helping anyone, imo

agreed. I think I saw pedogate somethere too, better name.

Yeah, just tell them to make that sub if they ask again. I'll do the same

Sounds good.
