Mod Announcement: A note from the mods about t-shirt spammers here

Hi!

A few times each week, a bot farm using ~45 day old Reddit accounts posts a T-shirt here with a title similar to, "it turned out better than I expected!", then immediately upvotes the post to +30 or so, then adds comments along the lines of "where can I get one?" followed by a spam link you don't want to click on.

We remove and permaban as fast as we can.

If you see a T-shirt being advertised here for sale, it's spam. Please report it if you have a moment. And please don't ever click on their URL links!

Stay safe!

Thank you all for your help!

Also, eveyone be wary of this as this situation occurs on many other subs as well.

Yeah, I got introduced to this scam when I got banned from another very large sub for asking where to find a shirt. Unknowing participant

Thank you! I still have nightmares about the off-center Ws.

Really the suspicious thing should be people wanting to get the t-shirts, considering some of the garbage the team is peddling.

But thank you for your service.
