What gives?

From time to time I see a link on SRDD from something that happened a month or two ago on SRD, and when you look at /u/TotesMessenger on what's linked you can see that it's the exact same link and title as a previous submission (by another user). I don't keep track of the usernames, but I know when I do check it's never something that looks like a bot trying to get karma to get around spam detection algorithms, the most recent one has been a user for a month and a half, has a reasonable (low, but not none) amount of karma and a history that looks coherent, with comments on default-type subs that were made when the link was submitted. They also don't seem to have any history in the metasphere, but it's possible this is all one user and they're just deleting the links once people realize it's a repost so they don't show up.

I know pretty much all subreddits get spam, but SRDD doesn't seem like the sort of sub you would come across by accident if you've never been to SRD, they're not posting "cHeap p3nis p1lls totallylegit.biz" type things, it isn't a brand new user, and I'm not sure why spammers would want to make an exact copy of a month-old post. I've also never seen it happen to any other subreddits I visit, even the ones with less active mod teams where blatantly obvious spam stays up for a while, although it might just be harder to notice when there isn't totes to point it out.

Any idea what's going on? Am I completely overthinking a shitty karma whore?

So it seems that metaSRD is now shitty because "we" shit it up. I think there's decent drama in this submission about metaSRD drama and cam did got some unwarranted weird hostility, but there seems to be more hostility over even discussing the kind of weird hostility and stubbornness many of us see in SRD. I'm pretty sure one poster in this thread who said "How did they (metaSRD) get our sweet CSS? They don't deserve it." was making a meta joke, but I wonder. They know that it's for everybody in SRD to give feedback, right?

Why are "they" so upset at "our" pushback? It's pretty miniscule in my eyes in the overall picture. Is a SRDD mythos emerging, or are "we" really unbearable assholes?

Are you guys A/B testing, or something?

In light of srd updating their CSS, should we do the same?

And if we do, how would you like the CSS to change?

Minimal change(e.g, just changing up/downvotes, changing how the side bar looks)? Or major(i.e., complete overhaul)?
