Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

So obviously controlled by bots, what’s the point of it anymore?
It should have been one and done. I had some respect for the bot makers the first time around for writing the code and organizing people to make big things happen in such a short time but the second year of it had the majority of pixels placed by bots from the start.
I was following it closely the first year because I thought the whole thing was so cool. Pixel bot wars isn't very entertaining though...aside from FUCK SPEZ being so prominent
Some of the bot areas are even in the same spaces as last time :|
Can somebody explaine me how bots work here, if anybody needs an account? I mean I understand that you can have many accounts, but how do bots work here exactly?
If color(square[x,y]) != color(template[x,y]) then color(square[x,y]) = color(template[x,y]) else if x < max(x) then x = x+1 else x = min(x) and y = y+1 loop.
Something like this but better, with a lot of bots some of them would keep updating the same square, other would move to change other squares.
