Apparently this didn't send a couple of times because of a size limit,
hopefully the third time and cutting out a bunch of quotes will be the
charm:
That reddit "campaign" had an absolutely god-awful execution. Concept
was good, the execution on the other hand...trash. Total trash.
It's no surprise you got shadowbanned by reddit's admins (/not/ the
/r/GlobalOffensive mods), Absurd. You all were suggesting that everyone
go upvote the thread (and when it got nuked when they were merely
warning you that vote manipulation isn't permitted, there was some
buzzing about spamming the thread even more). In reality, that's one of
the fastest ways to get shadowbanned on reddit. Even if it's not against
/r/GlobalOffensive's rules specifically, the sitewide rules, which can
be found at http://www.reddit.com/rules/, supersede all other forms of
rules and/or guidelines. Hell vote manipulation isn't even mentioned by
name specifically in most subreddits since that's already usually
covered by a "follow reddit's rules too" sentence somewhere anyway.
Asking people to /comment/ (and not vote either way) is fine however,
provided you all don't go vote on comments and as long as they're not
just outright spam such as "+1".
To add to that, your account was four years old. You should have known
that anyway.
bluejellybean, your idea was beyond stupid. Raiding /r/GlobalOffensive
modmail is only going to get them pissed off at you, and it'd likely
make the admins more pissed off. Maybe I should tell them and/or the
admins that you suggested that members of this list go raid their
modmail with loads of messages, and see how they'd react then once they
caught wind of that idea, especially when you used language such as "we
should spam".
Ejziponken, spamming other threads with links to the thread you guys
wanted to vote brigade isn't that good of an idea either. It's a futile
effort anyways, since most people don't bother setting their comment
sort to new instead of the default top sort, so your comments won't even
likely get seen in the first place.
I know how you guys feel. There was a movement a while back when TF2
server ops were getting angry at their situation involving a massive
overdose of Valve servers and with quickplay. They did a thing of their
own, and everyone played by the rules. There were no issues, they knew
that not playing by the rules would get them nowhere.
Let's not stoop to Dota 2 Diretide levels here, it'll only make you all
look bad if you don't play by the damn rules with any campaigns or
petitions or otherwise. This stunt soured my opinion. Don't sour others'
either.
Disclaimer: I'm not a reddit admin nor a /r/GlobalOffensive mod if it
wasn't obvious.

No. I got shadowbanned. I can't do anything on reddit anymore.
