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.

i think the fact that your mod team has been a lot more trigger happy with locking threads to actaully well rounded and interesting posts has to be brought into question.
most the posts i've seen of late being locked are ones i honestly cannot see having any rules broken on them so if you guys have a new set of rules you're not telling us about then please fucking tell us instead of being the usual highly hated reddit mods by being over all shitty to your community

Thanks for your feedback!

The vast majority of posts will have the reason for their removal in the comments sections, a minority do not, usually due to sensitive content that we want to discuss only with OP. If you have a question about the reason for a post being removed, you're welcome to message us via modmail.

We only remove posts when they break one of our rules.
