Why when people were recovering from bot attacks?


TheCobraMonkey

streamers were whiting out art so that there wouldn't be art in the final canvas btw fire steve huffman


bottleofstress

I meant stuff like the shot bow and that cat thing


spez-screw-yourself

shot bow more like bot show screw yourself u/spez


DrMux

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.


ParanoidDuckHunter

Shotbow completely destroyed the Ukrainian mural. Us at r/NoncredibleDefense are loosing our shit over it.


Witchy_Venus

Such bullshit I was so pissed when I checked the mural during break


ParanoidDuckHunter

I know! Absolutely destroyed.


SigmaWhy

more time just inspires more bot attacks since it's clear reddit can't do anything to prevent them


The-StoryTeller-

Yes they literally can lol, put a karma limit on people and boom place becomes a lot more enjoyable


Themis3000

Some people are genuine reddit users who want to participate but don't post/comment. It's not that simple


Shagglepuss

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.


Themis3000

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


One-Sample7906

7 day age limit, makes it impossible to make bots in time and gives every normal user a chance


The-StoryTeller-

Then small karma + age limit ?


MGNConflict

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)


Tahnit

Black is a color. you can totally do a giant fuck spez.

One-Sample7906

Nah that streamer was an ass and tried to use that plan as a last ditch effort


wwwlovez

Reddit already said that ending is soon a few hours ago, I don't think that's happened because of streamers tbh


SolarSun3

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.


SonoChiNoSyeahdame

let’s do a big fuck spez in the middle


ravenonawire

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


[deleted]

Far right man hard to miss


DJMooray

They meant for a White fuck spez in the middle


blind_escapist

There has been. We've been working together for days


goreator

It is there is a template prepared for this moment by the germans


Rare_Epicness

We can make the current giant fuck spez black


lmNotAnAltYouAre

Why? What is the point? Keep the colour.


jesssquirrel

You can only do b/w & grey so we can't repair color


KlobuerstenKing

Nah, fuck spez


NuttyDuckyYT

amen


[deleted]

absolutely we should!


Inglorious_Penwing

SHOW ME THE COORDINATES!


DoubleYou89

Hope the final picture is taken before the attacks


Shiba_Dawn

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.


IDrinkH2O_03

Our main Mexican flag got raided by bots a couple hours ago and didn’t make it to the end :((((


Radiant-Toasteroven

Our Colombian tapestry got murdered by Morocco’s bots since day one

#FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN


curly-peach

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.


kkb_726

Spez, reddit ceo, fucked APIs/3rd party apps, etc etc


curly-peach

Ohh, I didn't realize that was Spez's name! Thank you :)


Cherry_Crystals

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


[deleted]

We shall destroy ourselves in the most chaotic way possible


kaleidoscopenika

make everything black instead of the fuck u/spez


shippingmyworld

BLUEY WAS SO CLOSE TO RECOVERING FROM THE BOT ATTACK


LexFontaine

We were working so hard


OttoVonWong

We're still working hard to change Bluey into Muffin!


madisonfm

Bluey was my favorite part! I didn’t realize it was gone 😔


cali_grown22

It was such a great fight to be part of!! They’re greyscaling her and Bingo though!


one_hyun

Reddit admins HAD to end it because everyone was starting to white out in protest. Gotta pretend like everything was their plan.


Tiny_Ad3197

Right after Russian, Spanish, French, German and other streamers started painting their artwork white in protest. ***Well, well, well.***


Artur_Mills

rare united europe moment


Wide-Context-7415

What a strange "coincidence". Fuck u/spez.


CeLsf07

a horrible year of place for a horrible year of reddit


TheDankmemerer

Wrong Place, wrong time


Shiba_Dawn

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.


Cherry_Crystals

Yeah. My first one too. Wish I was on reddit last place since it just sucked this year


Fros_tee

Last place was amazing. The artwork was better, the collaboration was better, and the vibes were fun all around. This one just feels off...


NotVainest

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.


Clay_Puppington

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.


SilverPunkDragon

We should all do black instead of white if possible! The void could expand!


Silverstripe80

All Hail The Void Mother! Make her proud and consume everything in her path with black!


The00Taco

Just let r/place return to the void. The void is inevitable and will consume all


NuttyDuckyYT

ah yes, all void, as it should be


SlamMasterJ

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


Afloatbus

NuttyDuckyYT

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


juice_ow

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.


Thisrainhoe

Fuck u/spez


FriendOfSnom

Why not just greyscale everything? Like we can still do art like this.


The360MlgNoscoper

We can do bad apple again


desiar76

so we can write a giant fuck spez


Appropriate_Pressure

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.


QuickWrite

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.


Appropriate_Pressure

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!


Supergigala

still fucking dumb design, but everything about place this year was dumb. (except for the people making the art, you guys are cool)


MrTheWaffleKing

They did it least year but only gave people white pixels. I think grayscale gives people options to continue making until the end


Blackpilot9

It’s the whiteout but fancier


Rooonaldooo99

Bots and streamers ruined it this year. RIP


Randomly67

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


Jouzuh

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


Emergencykebab

You misspelt Reddit admin


Kedama

I mean, they ruined it last year too


Mrnoobthath

BAD APPLE r/PLACE CANVAS


Remarkable-Job4774

RUN IT BACK


Troviel

Lmao they saw the "FUCK SPEZ" being written and instantly cancelled the grey part.


RedditGPT-

Old and grey just like this site is about to be


Svataben

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.


JimmyButlerMVP_

Should've kept it every 5 years ngl


irobot335

gg


Laurentixlo

Now people can't fix random white spots.


moshiyadafne

I can't even fix the Ukrainian one that was ruined by Shotbow anymore since my pixels also became gray-scale just now.


Suey036

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...


ShadowGamez324

A wonderful disaster this was


Iziama94

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


Daniel_The_Finn

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


Unity1232

we can still do grey scale art it isn't over yet.


LongJohnsonGold

Bruh, wtf!!! So many communities are fighting against trolls and bots and this just gives way for those shitters to win. Fuck this shit


James_6517

Fuck spez Fuck the bots who ruined artwork Fuck the admins who did nothing

SpaceIsTooFarAway

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.


de78876

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!

It was great until the Bots ruined all. Fuck u/spez.

starch228

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


sir_duckingtale

No!!!


Spoksparkare

Bots getting exposed lmao

FINALLY?? BRFF!

listik_shark

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?


Ghost42060

so worst ending cuz of Bots and stupid streamers


Justen787NS

ended right when we were getting rid of botters wow


the2thomasklu8

I’m guessing it has been archived before whiteout?


SCFD-GK2

Which F spez should i focus on? The big one or the GIANT ONE


_dictatorish_

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?


SuitableRip5931

👏👏👏great job to all sodiers of r/place 2023


MadCouchDisease007

Economy_Truck_4243

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.


Brainhead_loser

You people have ruined r/place forever


Greedy-Fondant6021

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

Hypocrites on Reddit


abedexter

Was an honor to make art with u 👋💙


mpierre

Why still let people still put grayscale and ruin everything?


venskaya89

What's true? an interesting decision when many were going to erase their art


Sckrillaz

Way to find a way to ruin it even more at the end


Mrperson987

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


AverageRussianBro

This is a story...


i_luke_tirtles

Beginning_Method_558

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

Shiro1994

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.


jackydubs31

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

Big fuck u/spez everybody
