No it ' s just a bug . I ended with 3468 sr so close to masters and it said I placed silver too . Still got the right amount of CP for it . <| sep |> Scan with Windows Defender and Malwarebytes . Remove anything it finds . <| sep |> I know you were using politics as an example but this year was especially terrible for rpolitics . A superPAC was specifically paid to overrun the sub with a proClinton slant . You could not post anything even resembling criticism of Clinton without garnering massive downvotes . This became fairly obvious in July and occurred right up until the end of the election . A lot of people caught on after the 911 fainting episode though , when the superPAC briefly took a break to get their marching orders . Then the next day they were back at it . Unfortunately this propaganda has caused some people to be brainwashed . It ' s tough to have a real conversation over there still . If this was allowed to happen once , who ' s to say it won ' t happen again .
