Pro tip: I posted that 'distracted boyfriend' meme with a political figure in my city's subreddit to test the mods, and it got removed in under 10 minutes for 'low effort' while actual spam stayed up for hours.

It showed me that vague rules about 'effort' are often just a cover for viewpoint removal, so what specific meme got you guys banned for a reason that felt totally made up?

Our local sub banned a photo of potholes for being off-topic, like kellyfoster's sign.

That "cover for viewpoint removal" thing is so real. I got a week off for a "low effort" post that was just a photo of a city council sign with a typo. It was clearly because it made a certain person look bad, right? The rules just bend to fit what they don't like.
