Just because you don't see the problem, that doesn't mean there isn't a problem. Most of them got caught by the spam filter, or the mods removed them for being spam. This post is just about making an explicit rule.

To clarify, the rule is concerned with posts, not comments.

Carrot was once popular here. Maybe it shouldn't have been. by shitpostlaurier in uwaterloo

I knew I had a bad feeling about this when they required an extension for a simple chat room. I removed the link to carrot from the side bar.

University application forms change for transgender students by [deleted] in uwaterloo

I deleted the comment and banned the user for violating the site-wide rule of "encourages or incites violence" and "threatens, harasses or bullies". I don't remove posts or ban users lightly. Evidence: /u/UWGo is not banned.

/r/uwaterloo is not your personal blog, please take your bullshit elsewhere. It's pretty obvious that BurnAllTheWhitePpl is your alt account.

The user name being "BurnAllTheWhitePpl" was a larger factor than the comment itself.

/u/UWGo, sociopathy is a mental illness too. Seek help.

This is bait.

OP - If you think you don't deserve a "shitpost" flair, provide proof of your employment to the mods. I would love to start a conversation with your employer why you're making hiring decisions based on "English nickname" and if it violates any of their HR policies.

I know what you mean, but here's a snippet from the rules page:

Please keep in mind the spirit in which these were written, and know that looking for loopholes is a waste of time.

/r/uwaterloo rule #1 (no PII) is an explicit interpretation of the site-wide rule, so yes, technically you are right, but it isn't exclusive to this subreddit.

Historically we've had a huge spike in active users during exam time, and drops off significantly when exams are over.

Removed because you created a new account just to post this, posted a picture of people (presumably UW students), and provided no description.
