=== /r/DankMemes and /r/PewdiepieSubmissions Brigading Drama === On January 19th, 2020 the moderators would finally adress an issue that had been brewing within the community for a while, a problem with members brigading subreddits such as /r/[[DankMemes]] aswell as /r/[[PewdiepieSubmissions]] with memes that had been made within /r/ComedyHitmen, but also spamming certain phrases such as "KEANU CHUNGUS WHOLESOME 100", as this had a huge risk of having the subreddit be banned for not following "reddiquete" as this was considered brigading a subreddit, in "discord terms" raiding it. A long campaign of dramas, raiding, brigading would start, as starting from March 8th many users would use the announcements flair to send screenshots of them getting banned from the /r/PewdiepieSubmissions subreddit for various reasons, the mods of that subreddit would banwave many of /r/ComedyHitmen's users aswell as setup an AutoMod to ban anyone who interacts with the community for 30 days. ==== Second Statement From Moderators ==== Eventually on March 9th, 2020 moderator u/KingBrandoTheIgit would release a statement - "Stop harassing r/PewdiepieSubmissions" in which he would explain to not harass any subreddit, as there was a noticeable wave of users targeting and brigading the PewdiepieSubmissions subreddit for being "Too Normie." The subreddit moderators feared ending up the same as /r/[[GamersRiseUp]] (The users of the subreddit used it for totally different purposes) and anyone who would call for the raiding of subreddits or a harassment of a user would be banned permanently off /r/ComedyHitmen. On March 20th, 2020 u/KingBrandoTheIgit would release yet another statement, as the subreddit was pretty much on thin ice from being banned he would try to delegate with the moderators of the affected communities to make it right, {{Quote|Greetings hitmen. As you might know, our sub recently got into problems with other subreddits. Our users would get banned from other subs simply for participating in ours, regardless of whether or not those users have so much as visited those other subs. This situation was caused by the users on our end who brigaded and spammed across multiple subreddits, and was addressed in our previous announcement. Obviously, not everyone did this, but those who did were breaking Reddit's Terms of Service, which put our subreddit on thin ice.|u/KingBrandoTheIgit}} The users of /r/ComedyHitmen would have to stop mentioning the moderators of outside subreddits for answers, or harassing them for not approving ban appeals, and they would also have to stop making posts or comments with something along the lines of "posting this to /r/randomsubreddit", this would from then become a bannable offense. {{Quote|r/ComedyHitmen was never meant to be used as a platform to spam or brigade other subreddits. We started as a way to think of neat ideas that would help kill a meme that has been overused. We can still do that and would like to hear your thoughts in this comment section. I can't speak for the other mods, but I will personally do my best to address as much questions and comments as I can as soon as possible.|u/KingBrandoTheIgit}} Eventually the drama would settle, the moderators of /r/PewdiepieSubmissions would still be somewhat mad at the subreddit but the brigading would stop and things would return to an okay state.
