Not to mention the reddit admin who was constantly overwriting squares with no cooldown.

They were doing it so much that it was clear they weren't just abusing their admin power but using a bot as well.

Some images were not permitted. Like the American flag linked above. They rebuilt it but the original was wiped out by an admin user.

This isn't true at all. As I was following it, the original American flag was just being griefed.

There were portions of the canvas wiped out by admins, but the American flag wasn’t among them. That was a coordinated griefing effort.
