=== The Banishment of The B Emoji === [[File:29percentupvoted.png|thumb|29%...]] On January 23rd, 2019 mod u/[[Govern]] would announce the ban on the "B" emoji within memes on r/DeepFriedMemes. One of the most influential decisions within the subreddit's history, this decision was not taken lightly by the users of the subreddit. The announcement itself only had a 29% upvote rate. This B emoji aswell as other letters would all be fully banned within the sub, these have had been existant since the beginning of the subreddit and were largely influential within the community, not many wanted to let them go, only few within the comment thread said that this was a good idea, usually due to argument of the subreddit slowly becoming unoriginal and that the subreddit would be better without it. But there was also the other side of the coin, users that wished for the B emoji to stay in some capacity, as it was considered to be a cornerstone of the fried meme community. Some stated that it's removal would be the end of the subreddit. Within the comment thread were rape threads to u/[[Govern]]_ <small>(It was the most upvoted comment it even got a reward lmfao)</small>, but it also was not limited to just that, within the comment thread there would be other things like : calling the moderators "Cringe ((HARD Rs)), "retarded brain dead morons", calling them gay and saying that the subreddit was officially dead thanks to this controversial decision. <small>(Govern would state that these were usually his friends and mods that sent these messages)</small> {{Quote|Hello everyone, welcome to yet another announcement by the /r/DeepFriedMemes Moderator Team, so let's get right into the annoucement shall we ; The π ± emoji and all the other letter emojis has been fully banned from the subreddit. We know that the π ± emoji has been here from the start however it has run its course and is not original anymore, we believe that the sub is lacking originality and that the subreddit would be better without it. I hope all of you can understand this decision, while we know this will cause a lot of backlash we think it would be benefitial to this place at the end. Have a wonderful day and continue being a great community.|u/[[Govern]]_}} Eventually on January 25th, 2019 there would be a revision regarding the ban of th B emoji, users could still use the B emoji within their comments if the percent of Bs within comments did not exceed 20%, memes with the B emoji were still banned though. This was met with a somewhat warmer approach by the users of the subreddit but they still didn't like the introduction of this one specific rule as some feared that it may meet a similar fate to OkBR, in which there's constantly banned memes.
