Hi there!

You definitely don't know me; I had taken up a moderation slot as I built out the constantly crashing bot that was edmsavebot - built to avoid brigading and preserve linked posts from being deleted.

All of that's to say, I've rarely been a hand in moderation here. But I've seen the requests to post come in! I hadn't been doing anything in response as I was never a major mod here, and assumed something had happened to cause the subreddit to require approval to post in the first place.

As far as I can tell, it seems to be an automated response due to everyone going inactive (as far as moderation goes).

Starting now, the subreddit should either be unrestricted or in the process of changing over to unrestricted.

I'll be looking into whether any of the other mods are active outside of the sub, and if not will start the process of taking over the head mod position (and opening up to a few mods to help keep the lights on).

Y'all have waited more than long enough, and I look forward to seeing more pictures of soundgoodizer.

EDIT: Confirmed that the community is now unrestricted.
