      Unfortunately, in the same breath as that mention is them saying erasing that is the work of users. There’s enough evidence to suggest it’s the admin’s handiwork. Some people elsewhere mentioned that those “random” dots do not have a user attached to it.

        The random noise appeard nearly instantly after the guillotine was completed, there is no way regular users caught on to that that fast.

          Even if we give it the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe a group have waited until the guillotine have finished to strike back, it would have been traced back to actual users if they were indeed actual users.

        It all disappeared within a few seconds after no fighting beforehand, and in the absence of an undiscovered 50k pro spez discord server that no one knows about, it’s definitely admins. They’ve gotten much smarter though, using a ton of older accounts as bots rather than editing their personal accounts to have no cool down

          Oh no, r?ddit admins being sneaky cheaters? How the hell could anyone have predicted that! Lol!

          I’ve never really bothered with /r/place even in its earlier incarnations, but this just made glad I’ve never bothered with it, at all.
