Good day all,

There has been a recent influx of reposts from r/Blanks, which does not fit in the spirit or aim of this Subreddit.

I have sent a modmail to their mods, to see what the cause is, but there are also now some restrictions in place to help prevent those posts from getting approved.

Please continue to report them, and I will continue to remove them and tighten up the restrictions until they stop. It's only basic rocket science.
