People conforming to the letter, but not the spirit, of a request. For now, this includes text posts, images, videos and links. Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.

Auto banning people who post is an amazing idea. I'm sure you'll get people posting just to get banned after a point but some of the most popular subs will become rule following shit posts within hours. People who love the board won't post anything because they don't want to get banned and people who don't care flood with spam, or the board just dies. But it's still open, you can still post, what's the problem? Just add a few super vague rules and cite a random one lol.
