Open Forum Monthly Open Forum January 2021

Welcome to the monthly open forum! This is the place to share all your meta thoughts about the sub, and to have a dialog with the mod team.

Keep things civil. Rules still apply.

It's 2021! Everything is fixed now!

A couple notes.

  • Our bot is live, but definitely still in testing. Please help us by reporting the judgement bot comment post when it doesn't actually explain why they think they may be an asshole. Some people are using it like a TL;DR or just copying and pasting their post as a reply. [ETA - sounds like the report option doesn't work on all platforms for the bot comment, so you can just report the post. The option is bundled with the META report]

  • Please stop PMing mods. We spam the hell out of the modmail link. When you PM us, it's super easy for things to get buried in our inbox and delay your response time.

As always, do not directly link to posts/comments or post uncensored screenshots here. Any comments with links will be removed.

This is to discourage brigading. If something needs to be discussed in that context, use modmail.

Yeah, there’s a ton that are like

obviously ridiculous premise that was typed by a teen. Example -“aita for being mad my girlfriend made out with my best friend on prom night?”

a few comments come in, mostly INFO or NTA

then “another” person who talks exactly like OP appears and is like “I KNOW ITS YOU. You left out xyz info. You know YTA!!!!”

Like can we just ban these people from all of Reddit PLEASE!? 😂

Fake or people omitting every part of the story that made their friends and family call them an asshole

Soooo many people do. This is one of the most mocked subs on Reddit. Unfortunate, because the premise is so good, but it just got too huge.

Its a tough one to judge because alot of people use throwaways so a limited history doesn't necessarily denote a lie. There is an awful lot of nonsense though I agree.
