Viva La Resistance

Viva La Resistance was a short-lived uprising in the r/SMG4 Discord (then called the r/SMG4 Official Discord) on 26 May 2020.

Timeline
At 2:40 AM EST on 26 May 2020, head admin of the r/SMG4 Discord Jeffiper abruptly banned memes related to Beeg/Long SMG4 and the "What is this above me" format under the controversial Rule 12 (the low-effort rule), sparking a furor amongst the members of the Discord."''What is this s*** below me' and 'What is that above me' etc posts (and the screenshots of them) are now classified as low effort and therefore banned on the subreddit.' - Jeff, 26/5/2020"Swordstealer101 - the original creator of the "what is this above me" format - among a couple other users, ended up leaving the r/SMG4 discord over this.

The three other active mods at the time - Green, Paperplaneman and Pure-Derpiness - then decided to start a revolution; creating a new, secret Discord server at 10:36 EST, appropriately named "Viva La Resistance". For seven and a half hours from around 11 AM-5:30 PM EST, a group of brave individuals - including the mods and later Swordstealer and Scratch - flooded the subreddit with new "what is this above me" formats under the flair "Viva La Resistance".

Outcome
The outcome of the revolution was decided around 5:40 PM EST on 26 May 2020. The truce agreements were:


 * Rule 12 (the low effort rule) was changed to be more concise on what "low effort" means.
 * The rule was later abolished on 2 June 2020 following a 117-11 poll done on 27 May 2020 on the Discord.
 * The abolishment was later reversed on 29 June 2020 following SMG4's shoutout of the subreddit and the flood of low-effort posts.
 * The "Viva La Resistance" flair was removed and several users got bans. Only one ban was permanent, though.
 * Most mods would have to come to an agreement before making a decision.
