13 points 20 hours ago JusticeServedBot We've had the "Kim" trigger word for automod since the beginning of this subreddit. It included other North Korea related words as well, and automod responded by telling the user they had been banned from/r/pyongyang. That comes from an older meme about /r/Pyongyang banning anyone that commented anything other than pro-NK propaganda there. However we can't actually ban users from other subreddits. Generally it only appeared when a user inadvertently typed one of the trigger words, which was formatted as to not generate responses for common words -however one of the words was "Kim" Yesterday this content was posted, and one of the individuals surname is "Kim". After a few users clarified that, the bot responded, and other users took notice and started spamming the system. By time we had noticed, the majority of the post was just spam. We could remove everything, or remove the post, or lock it, but instead we decided to lock the trigger words to only this post and let users have fun. Once it got to around 25 posts per second we started changing the responses from "Banned from /r/pyongyang" to being banned from other obscure subreddits (again - we can't really ban anyone from other subs). Then we started dropping in messages. Then we made the Kim-O-Matic vending machine posts and responses. Basically, users spammed a trigger word and instead of immediately removing it or banning anyone, we had a bit of fun with it over the weekend, all contained within a single post. As far as it being off topic and spam as a few users have stated This is one of the only threads we've not had any major issues with bigotry, threats, rule breaking. It's been relatively content and everyone has actually been nice, no heated arguments, no stereotyping. Considering the mod-action to comment ratio, this is by far the most "tame" and well mannered posts we've had. We're not going to make a habit of it, and will keep the trigger words essentially "jailed" to only this post so users can't use the "Kim" trigger outside this post to prevent further spam. This is the only post set to sort by new, all other posts are sorted by best (or whatever you have it overrode to).
