Can we just ban all posts from r/untrustworthypoptarts?

The subreddit is not for posts OP thinks are fake, the subreddit is for acknowledging that a post and the provided picture could easily be faked. It's low hanging fruit at this point.

Yes, but just because that's the intended purpose, unfortunately doesn't mean everyone listens. I wish we saw less untrustworthy pop tarts, as 90% of the posts are ones they found on mildy infuriating, and by the time I see it here, it's the third time I have. But I also know that if they keep posting the way they are without actually adhering to the subs purpose, the subs like this one are bound to take advantage

Hey I'm just going to reply to your comment here because your reply to my other comment i can't interact with (i think the original commenter blocked me?)

I think i agree with you. Maybe not banning posts from that sub as a whole but discouraging them unless it's clear what the OP's intentions are. I understand there's nuance to it I'm just really tired of the posts on here where the caption and comments are like "omg this is an everyday occurrence how do they think this is fake?!" and the OP is very obviously not actually calling anyone a liar

This makes sense. I saw another comment of yours stating you're autistic, and I am as well, so I understand what you're saying and how you got there. I have just spent too much time studying people and physiology (to properly mask, shocker lol), and I'm overly aware of how the majority of humans act, especially online. I just really hope eventually we hit a point where thathappened and untrustworthypoptarts can get the proper separation instead of one seeping into the other

Yeah! untrustworthypoptarts needs to get its shit together lol. I made this post out of frustration that stemmed from the people in that sub misusing it as is, but there's still some truth in my intentions here as well. I just really like rules and when they aren't followed it's frustrating and unsatisfactory :( I'm glad you get it though. It wasn't my intention with any of my posts or comments to upset or demean anybody I just joined this sub to actually see people calling eachother liars for no reason, and not the silliness that is that sub's gimmick.
