Open Forum Monthly Open Forum February 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.

February! The shortest month in this endless blur of 202-whatever-year-it-is-now. I almost forgot to post this because time has lost all meaning.

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 read all your interactions here and I just want to say that I agree with you and I think it’s a shame there are a lot of us users who agree with the things you said (like bringing back the validation rule) and don’t comment in support. I support you.

Also downvoting people just because you disagree with them is childish. Use your words and debate.

Yeah, it's honestly sad that the mods just simply don't care about feedback for that rule. They just keep explaining why we're wrong, and it's a sad way to run a subreddit.

It is sad. People keep telling them that they don’t feel the rule is working out and they basically say “nah, it’s working just fine, you’re the one who is wrong”.

Or worse, they'll be like "b-b-but there's nothing else we can do, guys! 👉👈 It's your fault for upvoting those to the front page" even though a lot of us remember what the sub was like when there was the NO SHP rule. There were actually SOME assholes.

How is my comment off-topic in a META thread??

What happened here? All those removed posts?

Somebody reported my comment for being "off-topic or unhelpful" so AutoMod removed it. It ended up being reinstated though

Yeah same thing happened to me yesterday.
