This is epic. Trolling level 10. Spez wanted to force them to reopen, so they did, but burned the subreddit. I can't wait for r/gaming to be only about ping pong, or r/videos to be only cat videos.

You can not force a community. And Spez has unintentionally created a community, just one that hates him.

r/movies should only allow content about silent movies. None of these modern 'talkies'.
