The moderators of that subreddit had nothing to say about that?
A moderator laughed in our faces. (I have a group of former and current employees and we all hopped on the thread together)
In that instance, a former welder there posted a bunch of pictures of welds he did for the Falcon Heavy pad modifications. We pointed out this was a definite breach of ITAR. The mods response:
LOL as if China doesn't know how to weld!
Then I pointed out that China was put under special ITAR restrictions
specifically because they were given/stole welding techniques and gave him the link to back it up. He shut up, but did nothing. Most of the time if you try and speak out against flagrantly illegal posts there they just laugh, ridicule and brigade your posts so they are downvoted to oblivion.
In another instance, a guy lurked around the factory and took pictures of one of the rockets under construction. This was immediately flagged and a bunch of us (I was still there) were posting from inside the factory trying to tell people to take it down. The response?:
LOL it can't be covered by ITAR why else would all the windows be uncovered so you could just walk up and take pictures LOL
This guy had managed to evade security, that's how. The windows were all covered up after that and that thread actually was taken down. I assume the company lawyers got involved.
SpaceX fanbois are the freaking worst and are the best example of dunning-kruger I can think of other than the dunning-krugerrands of bitcoin. And at least the bitcoin crowd aren't breaking federal arms embargoes! And that's just in relation to illegal activities; god forbid you point out any flaws in their reasoning and imaginations as it relates to the technical capabilities of the Falcon.
I rarely post on reddit but when I do it's gold, and tends to end up with a score of 0. That's right, one person reads my comment and then downvotes it.
I opened a thread in the math subreddit on the topic of a number sequence I observed in the wild. Got two satisfactory answers. That has a score of 0 as well.
If it makes you feel better, it's not likely you were downvoted. Their algorithms automatically adjust the scores up or down based on mathmagic that no one really knows outside the company. It is very likely your post was downgraded automatically for whatever reason or to clear space for other threads.
