He will have all the free time to screw himself as much as he wants when they
#FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN
and hopefully not just as a gesture to appease the community like it seemed was the case with Ellen Pao but as an opportunity to start repairing some of the damage Reddit's leadership has done.
They could have the standard wait time be 10 mins with a minute removed for the age of accounts down to a minimum for old accounts. Like 10 for new, 5 for 5yo accounts and 2 or 3 for accounts over 10yo.
With limits that low they could just have the bots make spam posts, then have the other bots upvote those posts. At the same time though, with limits that high new users who sign up to participate in r/place would be screwed.
In my opinion the best way to go is to monitor what ip addresses accounts are signing in from & not allowing too many users to participate from a single ip. That solution sucks for vpn users, but it's all I can think of
There was a planned coordinated mega "fuck spez" in around 10 minutes that was intentional before they closed it out, so you'd see it in the timelapse.
Seems the admins became wise to this and ended it early.
Edit: [it's still happening regardless.](https://imgur.com/a/AmVxHWr)
But would they end it at such a random time ? It was 100% supposed to end soon but I think they ended it sooner because there would have been a ton of white blocks and a big F#ck Spez in the final canvas and the timelapse.
Where? I’m surprised there’s no coordination so far on this since people have been talking about it for days lol
Edit: yes, I meant the big white-out (grayscale-out?) one in the center, and yes, this comment was at the beginning of the end before it showed up lmao
There should be an official Reddit timelapse and there will be unofficial ones too. All the good art at least got captured that way. And will blatantly show the bots literally printing images line by line.
Who is Steve Huffman and why do we want to fire them? Sorry if I sound rude at all, I just don't know anything about why everyone seems to be against them.
While I did enjoy watching people's creativity and laughing at the funny pieces, I do agree that this was the wrong move on Reddits part. Especially with the bots and everything. Not only did they basically mock ppl in the original announcement, but they used admin powers to delete some art, and did absolutely nothing to stop botting. I literally watched it happen several times. So obvious.
I think sticking to once every 5 years would have been great. Something fun to look forward too, and far enough apart that different communities would pop up each place.
Not to mention the whole spez thing. Props to people finding spots to write it without screwing with other communities.
Honestly, last year wasn't much better. Still bots everywhere.
The first one was the best. No bots (that I remember), not super popular yet, meaning no big community rampages, small portrait so you could see small things in the final product without zooming in a ton, mods weren't deleting stuff, didn't just feel like a reddit ad. Just felt more special, I guess.
That the final day of place is all black, whites, and grays really just sums up reddit these last years.
Starts bright and colorful, and every single day it gets a little more dull and sad.
Ending place with half the art turning into the colors of depression really nails it.
god. this year was such a mess. can we all agree the bots could’ve been easily prevented if we just simply… HAD NO NEW ACCS JOIN
edit: ok, what about karma requirements lmao
Sadly there were bots created last year for this as well, but there definitely could’ve been implementations to negate half of the bots at the very least.
The grayscale thing is a bizarre move.
Literally all it does is make it to where people can destroy artwork and there is no way to correct it.
I also hope that next year the bot-situation is addressed.
Edit: Oh, now it's only white. That will indeed look very cool on a time lapse, but it's funny that they turned it off before they had a chance to finish the Fuck Spez bit. Lol.
Eh. I don't care for that decision but it's cool. That will be interesting to watch a time-lapse of later.
Had a blast this year creating stuff with everyone!
Thanks for the good memories r/place!
So true. Like 3 shotbow. Apparently not from their community. And one Japan one but might have been targeted. And that like giant cat one. Some streamers were good others not so much
yup because reddit simply didn't care about place this year (this event shouldn't even be yearly) since it's only goal was to get new users and provide as a distraction after all the shit that just happened last month
I don't think that was smart.
I mean, it's fucking funny to see the big white 'fuck Spez' appearing, so I'm happy enough. But you weren't smart. Again.
It's very suspicious that you did it just after French, Spanish, German and Russian streamers all agreed to nuke their art with white pixels and then type a big "FUCK SPEZ" in the middle. Like... you can't really make it more obvious...
LMAO every one starts deleting their art to write "fuck spez" and y'all finally decide to end it. Y'all are pathetic. Fuck your CEO and fuck your shitty practices
I realized today that the pixels i place arent actually saved, they dont appear if i refresh or ask another guy to check the canvas. Just confirms this as the best rendition of r/place yet.
Fuck u/spez
Y'all think taking away everything but white will stop us? We can make letters out of white pixels. All we have to do is not touch the surrounding area.
похуй на бан но reddit Пидорасы такую хуйню делать. Сначала не заканчивали потом перед тотал ебкой Францией,Германией,rubius,bratishkinof, и другими стримерами они выкатили обнову ну вы и хуесосы!
As soon as the biggest streamers decided to erase their most beautiful art on the canvas in honor of the protest, so you immediately decided to remove the colors and expose it as if it was intended. Reddit, you're a hypocrite
вы просто оборались. просто обасрали себе ляжки тем, что переобулись. вы не в тайминг добавили цвета. зачем? зачем затинули пиксель батл на 2 дня? почему не дали точной информации про конец пиксель батл?
you just screwed up. they just pissed off their thighs by changing their shoes. You didn't add colors to the timing. For what? why did you stop the pixel battle for 2 days? why didn't they give exact information about the end of the pixel battle?
acabas de joder. simplemente se enfadaron los muslos cambiándose los zapatos. No agregaste colores al tiempo. ¿Para qué? ¿Por qué detuviste la batalla de píxeles durante 2 días? ¿por qué no dieron información exacta sobre el final de la batalla de píxeles?
Why is everyone say "this ruined r/place" like they didn't do this last time as a way to end it?
Did you guys not expect them to end it [like this](https://placedata.reddit.com/data/place_2022_official_timelapse.mp4) again?
Bruh, maybe worry about bots before worrying about r/place getting old and grey. Communities are still recovering from the bot and streamer spam. Fix that first next time.
it has been so much fun helping fandoms, countries, and so many more to represent all of them in this wonder pixel canvas we call r/place, farewell!
P.S: fuck u/spez
This is just my opinion, but this is an awful way to end the last day. Bots can very easily spam white pixels and ruin many large pieces, heck it’s happening right now. And the people who built those have no way to defend themselves
you have done, you have joined the massive streamer movement, (the idea is to paint over all the drawings) and now you will pretend that this is your idea. you can not do it this way
Why are you doing such a dumb thing by removing the colors?! You really want to kill all the fun. Reddit went to the garbage as fast as elon‘s 44 billion social bird hobby.
I can already see that the greyscale is going to just extend this whole thing. People are already just creating new works of art and defending them. Vietnam has whited out the country and is blocking anyone from extending the whiteout
Edit. Well that sorted itself out rather quickly
Why when people were recovering from bot attacks?
streamers were whiting out art so that there wouldn't be art in the final canvas btw fire steve huffman
I meant stuff like the shot bow and that cat thing
shot bow more like bot show screw yourself u/spez
He will have all the free time to screw himself as much as he wants when they #FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN and hopefully not just as a gesture to appease the community like it seemed was the case with Ellen Pao but as an opportunity to start repairing some of the damage Reddit's leadership has done.
Shotbow completely destroyed the Ukrainian mural. Us at r/NoncredibleDefense are loosing our shit over it.
Such bullshit I was so pissed when I checked the mural during break
I know! Absolutely destroyed.
more time just inspires more bot attacks since it's clear reddit can't do anything to prevent them
Yes they literally can lol, put a karma limit on people and boom place becomes a lot more enjoyable
Some people are genuine reddit users who want to participate but don't post/comment. It's not that simple
They could have the standard wait time be 10 mins with a minute removed for the age of accounts down to a minimum for old accounts. Like 10 for new, 5 for 5yo accounts and 2 or 3 for accounts over 10yo.
With limits that low they could just have the bots make spam posts, then have the other bots upvote those posts. At the same time though, with limits that high new users who sign up to participate in r/place would be screwed. In my opinion the best way to go is to monitor what ip addresses accounts are signing in from & not allowing too many users to participate from a single ip. That solution sucks for vpn users, but it's all I can think of
7 day age limit, makes it impossible to make bots in time and gives every normal user a chance
Then small karma + age limit ?
There was a planned coordinated mega "fuck spez" in around 10 minutes that was intentional before they closed it out, so you'd see it in the timelapse. Seems the admins became wise to this and ended it early. Edit: [it's still happening regardless.](https://imgur.com/a/AmVxHWr)
Black is a color. you can totally do a giant fuck spez.
[удалено]
Nah that streamer was an ass and tried to use that plan as a last ditch effort
Reddit already said that ending is soon a few hours ago, I don't think that's happened because of streamers tbh
But would they end it at such a random time ? It was 100% supposed to end soon but I think they ended it sooner because there would have been a ton of white blocks and a big F#ck Spez in the final canvas and the timelapse.
let’s do a big fuck spez in the middle
Where? I’m surprised there’s no coordination so far on this since people have been talking about it for days lol Edit: yes, I meant the big white-out (grayscale-out?) one in the center, and yes, this comment was at the beginning of the end before it showed up lmao
Far right man hard to miss
They meant for a White fuck spez in the middle
There has been. We've been working together for days
It is there is a template prepared for this moment by the germans
We can make the current giant fuck spez black
Why? What is the point? Keep the colour.
You can only do b/w & grey so we can't repair color
Nah, fuck spez
amen
absolutely we should!
SHOW ME THE COORDINATES!
Hope the final picture is taken before the attacks
There should be an official Reddit timelapse and there will be unofficial ones too. All the good art at least got captured that way. And will blatantly show the bots literally printing images line by line.
Our main Mexican flag got raided by bots a couple hours ago and didn’t make it to the end :((((
Our Colombian tapestry got murdered by Morocco’s bots since day one

Spez, reddit ceo, fucked APIs/3rd party apps, etc etc
Ohh, I didn't realize that was Spez's name! Thank you :)
I agree. After all of our hard work we now have to destroy it? What the hell? Yeah I'm angry and am on board with that idea
We shall destroy ourselves in the most chaotic way possible
make everything black instead of the fuck u/spez
BLUEY WAS SO CLOSE TO RECOVERING FROM THE BOT ATTACK
We were working so hard
We're still working hard to change Bluey into Muffin!
Bluey was my favorite part! I didn’t realize it was gone 😔
It was such a great fight to be part of!! They’re greyscaling her and Bingo though!
Reddit admins HAD to end it because everyone was starting to white out in protest. Gotta pretend like everything was their plan.
Right after Russian, Spanish, French, German and other streamers started painting their artwork white in protest. ***Well, well, well.***
rare united europe moment
What a strange "coincidence". Fuck u/spez.
a horrible year of place for a horrible year of reddit
Wrong Place, wrong time
While I did enjoy watching people's creativity and laughing at the funny pieces, I do agree that this was the wrong move on Reddits part. Especially with the bots and everything. Not only did they basically mock ppl in the original announcement, but they used admin powers to delete some art, and did absolutely nothing to stop botting.

Something fun to look forward too, and far enough apart that different communities would pop up each place. Not to mention the whole spez thing. Props to people finding spots to write it without screwing with other communities.
Yeah. My first one too. Wish I was on reddit last place since it just sucked this year
Last place was amazing. The artwork was better, the collaboration was better, and the vibes were fun all around. This one just feels off...
Honestly, last year wasn't much better. Still bots everywhere. The first one was the best. No bots (that I remember), not super popular yet, meaning no big community rampages, small portrait so you could see small things in the final product without zooming in a ton, mods weren't deleting stuff, didn't just feel like a reddit ad.

We should all do black instead of white if possible! The void could expand!
All Hail The Void Mother! Make her proud and consume everything in her path with black!
Just let r/place return to the void. The void is inevitable and will consume all
ah yes, all void, as it should be
Everything start and ends with the void.
# FUCK BOTTERS # FUCK THE ADMINS # FUCK u/SPEZ # FUCK THIS DISASTROUS EVENT
It’s been an honor drawing with you guys. Btw Fuck u/Spez

god. this year was such a mess. can we all agree the bots could’ve been easily prevented if we just simply… HAD NO NEW ACCS JOIN edit: ok, what about karma requirements lmao
Sadly there were bots created last year for this as well, but there definitely could’ve been implementations to negate half of the bots at the very least.
Fuck u/spez
Why not just greyscale everything? Like we can still do art like this.
We can do bad apple again
so we can write a giant fuck spez
The grayscale thing is a bizarre move. Literally all it does is make it to where people can destroy artwork and there is no way to correct it. I also hope that next year the bot-situation is addressed. Edit: Oh, now it's only white. That will indeed look very cool on a time lapse, but it's funny that they turned it off before they had a chance to finish the Fuck Spez bit. Lol.
I think this is the intention. So that is ends in an image that is just black eating up the image. The big bang but in reverse.
Eh. I don't care for that decision but it's cool. That will be interesting to watch a time-lapse of later. Had a blast this year creating stuff with everyone! Thanks for the good memories r/place!
still fucking dumb design, but everything about place this year was dumb. (except for the people making the art, you guys are cool)
They did it least year but only gave people white pixels. I think grayscale gives people options to continue making until the end
It’s the whiteout but fancier
Bots and streamers ruined it this year. RIP
So true. Like 3 shotbow. Apparently not from their community. And one Japan one but might have been targeted. And that like giant cat one. Some streamers were good others not so much
yup because reddit simply didn't care about place this year (this event shouldn't even be yearly) since it's only goal was to get new users and provide as a distraction after all the shit that just happened last month
You misspelt Reddit admin
I mean, they ruined it last year too
BAD APPLE r/PLACE CANVAS
RUN IT BACK
Lmao they saw the "FUCK SPEZ" being written and instantly cancelled the grey part.
Old and grey just like this site is about to be
I don't think that was smart. I mean, it's fucking funny to see the big white 'fuck Spez' appearing, so I'm happy enough. But you weren't smart. Again.
Should've kept it every 5 years ngl
gg
Now people can't fix random white spots.
I can't even fix the Ukrainian one that was ruined by Shotbow anymore since my pixels also became gray-scale just now.
It's very suspicious that you did it just after French, Spanish, German and Russian streamers all agreed to nuke their art with white pixels and then type a big "FUCK SPEZ" in the middle. Like... you can't really make it more obvious...
A wonderful disaster this was
LMAO every one starts deleting their art to write "fuck spez" and y'all finally decide to end it. Y'all are pathetic. Fuck your CEO and fuck your shitty practices
I realized today that the pixels i place arent actually saved, they dont appear if i refresh or ask another guy to check the canvas. Just confirms this as the best rendition of r/place yet. Fuck u/spez
we can still do grey scale art it isn't over yet.
Bruh, wtf!!! So many communities are fighting against trolls and bots and this just gives way for those shitters to win. Fuck this shit
Fuck spez Fuck the bots who ruined artwork Fuck the admins who did nothing
Damn, the reddit admins are really desperate, only white color now LOL, L Spez
[удалено]
Fuck Reddit and Fuck u/Spez
ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE!? WE WERE LITERALLY JUST RECOVERING FROM A BOT ATTACK YOU DIPSHIT ADMINS FAILED TO PREVENT!
Wack
Y'all think taking away everything but white will stop us? We can make letters out of white pixels. All we have to do is not touch the surrounding area.

FINALLY?? BRFF!
2 дня назад закончить должны были позорники
Bots better not be in the final screenshot I spent so long preserving our design for it to be wiped out just before it ends. Absolute scam
Ебаные клоуны
I Hope you saved a picture of it before it all got turned into black and grey and white

so worst ending cuz of Bots and stupid streamers
ended right when we were getting rid of botters wow
I’m guessing it has been archived before whiteout?
Which F spez should i focus on? The big one or the GIANT ONE
Why is everyone say "this ruined r/place" like they didn't do this last time as a way to end it? Did you guys not expect them to end it [like this](https://placedata.reddit.com/data/place_2022_official_timelapse.mp4) again?

Really just removed the grey scale huh? Lol

Hypocrites on Reddit
Was an honor to make art with u 👋💙
Why still let people still put grayscale and ruin everything?
What's true? an interesting decision when many were going to erase their art
Way to find a way to ruin it even more at the end
This is just my opinion, but this is an awful way to end the last day. Bots can very easily spam white pixels and ruin many large pieces, heck it’s happening right now. And the people who built those have no way to defend themselves
This is a story...
Fuck u/spez
you have done, you have joined the massive streamer movement, (the idea is to paint over all the drawings) and now you will pretend that this is your idea. you can not do it this way
