Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Comedy is hard.
The fun thing about comedy is that not everyone has to like the same thing.
I'm not seeing anyone liking your brand of comedy so far. Maybe you should try something else.
Pretty sure that's not true. I think you're mistaking upvotes for downvotes or something.
Hank's first comment has 16 upvotes, your leading comment has 9 upvotes. Hank's comment does have more downvotes, putting the total vote tally in the negative, but he technically has more upvotes.
We're going back to the first comment? Not the one I actually replied to?
Idk, the guy who mentioned it worded it similar to "he has more upvotes than any of your comments have", which is technically true. You said it wasn't true, suggesting he was looking at downvotes, but the fact is that BOTH his upvotes and downvotes are higher.
I don't care about that.
Didn't read past the insult. Not interested in trading insults.
Well, you know Flying Squid better than I do, because I was sure Flying Squid stopped reading at the insult.
I wouldn't be surprised if Flying Squid blocked you if you did it again, but, again, you're the expert on Flying Squid here.
And blocked it is.
At least it's engaging and that's a quality in itself mister comedy critic.
It really isn't.
Well thanks for you high value opinion. If there was just a different way for you to voice your dissent with my way of expression. Like maybe a thumbs down or something like that.
But there's no such thing so I'm reliant on your written feedback mister comedy critic who goes online to argue about what is funny.
Pretty sure I'm not arguing, chief.
Thanks for letting me know.
