Resolved
YES

Resolves whenever this edition of r/place ends. If the exact text "fuck spez" is visible in the final snapshot, resolves to YES, otherwise NO.

Reddit users are complaining about admins messing with the canvas to remove messages and imagery protesting against Reddit.

When asked if Reddit will remove the protesting messages, spokesperson Courtney Geesey-Dorr pointed to the r/Place canvas rules. One of those rules says that “targeted hate or harassment of private individuals (including mods and admin) and protected groups are violations of our [content] policy (Rule 1) and will be removed. In addition, posts, comments, and imagery that are hateful, graphic, sexually-explicit, and / or offensive are violations of our policy (Rule 6) and will be removed.”

There's a few possible interpretations for this.

A. The final snapshot in the "official" reddit canvas timelapse is technically all white

B. The canvas right before the timelapse starts the fade to white shows the giant "fuck spez" in the center.

C. The final canvas that is being shown on news articles and such is from right before B, but it still shows a "fuck spez" on the middle right.

Basically, the only resolutions I can see are either YES if B or C are used, and N/A if A is used (as the description never mentioned this possibility). I don't see why this could resolve to NO.

predictedYES

@NoyaV Also worth noting that, to my knowledge, none of the other r/place markets have used the wiped screen for the "final snapshot" and the official reddit-provided snapshot is C. So this resolves pretty unambiguously to YES.

How do you define "final snapshot"?
