PSA:
Just in case this wasn't obvious, the mods are targeting some this sub's most active contributors. Their reasoning is that it's "brigading", attacking/manipulating/starting shit in another subreddit than the one they're mostly active in.
Read this over and think through how insanely stupid this stance is. Where are they brigading from, then?
Apparently, according to the mods, this is justifiable because most of these folks are on a joke sub with 300-ish members, with barely any activity. TheEliteSneakerheads was named in one of the weekly release threads right here on r/sneakers, as you know. It became a copypasta and then a sub. As a joke. At best, it's been poking at the cook group problem in sneakers by posting recipes. It's harmless.
There is no brigading.
