It started off innocently enough. Using the '''esmBot''', '''Bufner''' took an image and fed it into the bot repeatedly, in order to create a chain of subreddits at the bottom of the image. Starting with the classics, the comedy black holes that are '''r/funny''', '''r/gaming''' and '''r/dankmemes''', pretty soon quite an interesting subreddit name found itself on the list. As edgy of a place as the server used to be back in the day, doing this clearly pushed the boundaries even of a space like this. Ironic rape threats may have been shared almost daily, but racism was still taken somewhat seriously by the mod team. Although no punishment was given out, as it was assumed this issue would not be repeated, it was clear there may be consequences in the future should this happen again. | It started off innocently enough.

And so it did happen again. The details are slightly different this time, instead of the n-word being simply spelled out, the second incident is a thinking man's conundrum, a puzzle only solvable by the most genius members of society, for only a true intellectual could figure out the hidden meaning behind a GIF showing nothing but the letter N dancing around. It would sure be quite unfortunate if someone else, accidentally, posted a GIF featuring the letter I right afterward. What naughty words might these letters write out in the end? Surely no one could have expected it to be the n-word of all things? As the majority of mods, even if they may seem that way, aren't 6-year-old children who are amused by the fact that a swear word is said, an issue was immediately taken around this when a server member tried to start an n-word chain. '''Bufner''' decided to, following the short conversation about it, to post the accursed GIF in mod chat. Thankfully, the n-word chain was quickly shut down before it even properly started. With the previous incident still freshly in mind, this failure of a chain was successful in bringing attention to '''Bufner''''s behavior and started a days-long focus on him. | And so it did happen again.
