It's been a year...

82 Upvotes

I don't know if anyone noticed, but in just a year this sub has grown from myself and revolt and a bunch of shitty interactions with nowhere to share them to over 1500 mods who need a place to decompress and laugh about the idiocy we see daily.

I think I speak for both of us when I say thanks to all of our OG members as well as the new ones who join every day and make this space what it is. Other than the occasional troll, this has been the easiest sub ever to moderate. Even when we've had to apply a rule to stay within the narrow focus we wanted here, the response has been understanding and willingness to play by the rules.

I genuinely believe this is one of the more unique spaces on reddit. We'll never have half a million members, but I hope we always have members that get it like each of you do. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for making our fun little side project into an active, engaging, and entertaining place to visit in a site that's often bitter and divisive. We love each of you.

Introducing User Flairs!

38 Upvotes

Hey folks! I created a couple user flairs from insults flung at us, I’ve made one editable (it says editable lol) for you to have fun with. They are not required, and they should not include slurs or anything super offensive but other than that have fun with it!

PS the app was freaking out and it took me like 10 minutes to make two so I thought an editable one would be faster. Please let me know if you have any issues or would like me to make one that’s a permanent option (not editable).

We allow educational (but not business) surveys if reviewed/approved in advance. Oh well...

Do you think it is the N or the O that users struggle with?

Context: user posts about being disappointed that the eye candy keeps getting voted out in a reality show and wants that opinion heard as a full-fledged post, imbilcilic moderators be damned!

All because he didn’t have enough karma.

Although I’m devastated to have lost the trust of such a valuable member 😭💀.

Being blocked forever is a little harsh.

We have rules for a reason and if they didn’t do what they did we’d never have perm banned to start with, time does not alter what is done nor change the severity.

It started as a 3 day ban for rule 1 (subreddit rule 1 is the same as sitewide rule 1, for ease of reference)

Would anyone care for some freeze peaches in this trying time?

1.1-1.2 is one user, 2.1-2.4 is another user.

Guess what caused these conversations? If you guessed yet another political ad post, you win another freeze peach!

I’m so sick of this election cycle. November can’t come soon enough.

A user's pointless and reported comment was removed. This is their response.

The general sub removal reason for this sort of thing is: "This is a nice place. If you can't act like a civilized human being, you can't be here.

We do not allow:

Being a jerk. This includes racism, misogyny, misandry, misgendering, anti LGBTQ+, ageism, etc....

General assholery. If you're at the end of the list and asking what rule you broke, yeah, it's this one."

It's always funny which part of this people decide to complain about.

Since there is a NEW sub brigading us, this dude crawled out of the cesspool two years after a ban to get "cred" with the NEW whining sub. 🤣

Just more ammo for adding to the MCOC of whining sub I guess. 🤷‍♀️

Sometimes you have to go to the filtered folder for the real gems! Full on NSFW account with self described "spicy" links and OF links. These bans are always a coin flip if they turn totally feral in the modmail 😹

This was his response after a one day ban for not following the subreddit rules. Welcome to Reddit, my friend.

Imagine being so unhinged that you melt down two months later after just noticing you had a comment removed (wasn't even banned).
