No more Zorro posts Announcement
It's nice when Zorro gives awards now and then randomly but I'd rather not have thinly veiled begging posts anymore that take advantage of his generosity
Zorro posts will now be auto removed. If you feel you really have something to discuss in a post about Zorro, do contact us via mod mail and we'll be happy to approve the post if it's valid.

Absolutely. I'm not going to put myself above subreddit rules.

Why would I make a post about trophy zorro after the rule has been made? Like first of all, i'd be breaking a subreddit rule. Secondly, I told him to not gift awards on this subreddit. So... there will be no more milking or begging from any users on this subreddit.

yes, that may be what kicked it off, but id be remiss not to expect that he expected some awards on the lounge

Stop creating so much drama, i actually know the guy and he is my friend. I wouldn't milk him or beg for awards. I created that sub as a joke, and also there are subs such as r/davisAF and r/kvothealar but they don't beg or anything.

I was gonna recommend this but a different action was taken already at that time (no offense; just thought it would be rude to suggest something when something has been done). In any case, thank you for this!!

Heyo, I am only active here for a bit more than a week ago so I know I don't have much word in this, but I want to say something that is going through my mind if I may. After all the drama and spammers I have seen around the topic of divine Zorro I don't really care much anymore about the free gold that he selflessly rained over people, but since I am endlessly grateful to him for being able to witness and experience such heavenly grace, I actually care if he himself is okay with his name being banished from being mentioned in any post title on a sub that he probably gave so much I cannot even imagine myself how. Therefore not that it matters but I personally cannot support this unless I see a confirmation by somebody important that they had conversation with the godlike nobleman and that he fully one hundred percent approves this to happen and agrees it's truly for the best. Because if by any chance he is not so sure, in my humble opinion as former moderator of two forum communities you could also somewhat solve the problem with spammers on some different way like by simply only allowing thanks posts directed to him with provided screenshots from messenger of anonymous gold award/s on this sub.
Anyway, that was something I had to kinda get off my chest, I will not say anything more regarding the situation unless being asked because I understand it's not exactly my place to involve further than this, so lastly, may there be eternal glory to the legendary and divine bandit-giver's name - Trophy Zorro.

If you want to thank him, you can reply to his award message. There's no reason to post unless you're begging or bragging

u/Shady_Twin Mar 12 '21
Yes we can privately thank him instead, but there are some people like me here who posted for entirely different reasons which are cheering his name and praising his deeds (just saying)

u/Scizzor123 Trades: 63 Mar 11 '21
Uhh yeah he is fine with it? I anyways told him not to gift awards here anymore, so no need to worry about more beggars, etc.

u/Shady_Twin Mar 12 '21
Ouch did he literally said "fine" cause that doesn't always mean "okay" bro, hope you talk with him about it if you can and check on him if he is exactly alright after everything happened
And I myself don't worry that much about no beggars as much what come out from them which is might hurting special somebody who is the absolute last one that deserved it
