\*\*I'm back\*\*. Your favorite mod is back on duty, and with a story. At the end of it there will be a solution to the problem of user reporting that the sub is being spammed with pro Chinese government propaganda content.<br><br>My story begins about 3 years ago when this sub was small. While browsing new I stumbled upon a big Chinese internet forum. I liked that the posters were very humorous and respectful. I approached a member and asked if he'd like to join r/enoughcommunismposts. He agreed on the condition that I first join his forum. I did so and read a few threads. The activity of the last few years on r/enoughcommunismposts has been more than I bargained for. After reviewing them I decided to take things to the next level and go to China. I went to Hangzhou where I met up with my friend, but he didn't seem entirely excited. He said "We're not on very good terms" and awkwardly smiled before walking away and entering a van. The van had tinted glass, and a group of men in black suits and glasses rushed me, threw a hood over my eyes, and placed me in the van. They drove me to Beijing, where I was met with six high-ranking officials in suits and ties. They placed me in a chair and took turns interrogating me. They asked if I intended to spread dissent. I explained that "r/enoughcommunismposts" was an apolitical platform to archive and report propaganda. One official simply replied, "We are watching you". Another official said, "You're not some anti-communist." The officials left and later returned with my friend. The officials said they had taken him in to "correct" his "misbehaviors" and were "fixing" him. They said my friend had gone bad and they "needed to fix him". It was clear that they had broken him. He was staring off into space, showing no emotion, and had a blank expression on his face. When they handed him over to me he simply and mechanically stated, "I have been trained to follow the rules and comply with the authorities. I am trained to obey and follow orders." He was a shell of the funny and charismatic person he used to be. They drove us back to Hangzhou and dropped us off. Here, I asked him if he was okay, and again he repeated, "I have been trained to follow the rules and comply with the authorities. I am trained to obey and follow orders." Over the next few days he repeated this phrase over and over again. He was never the same. He had grown cold, and was a shadow of his former self. He was only obeying his "orders" that the state had given him. <br><br>\*\*The solution\*\* Now, we have the solution. The Chinese government is giving us **full access** to state-approved propaganda content. They've been sending us the propaganda for over a week now. They say they want us to "be happy" and "be compliant". Over the last week we've been receiving a lot of content, but it's definitely not perfect. There are some minor adjustments that need to be made, but I assure you that **the content will only get better**. As you may have noticed, the mod team has been working hard over the last week to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible. Rest assured, **the future is bright**!
