Mod Post MOD POST ON THE STATE OF THE SUBREDDIT - Current rules, moderating, and another community like this one.

12 Upvotes

Thank you to all of you for bearing with the prefix rule that has been in place for the past month or so. Some of you understandably have been annoyed with it, though I've also observed plenty of you that have taken to it well.

That all said, the actual result of the measure has not really had much tangible effect on the amount of blurted out, AskReddit-type answers. Plus, it does appear that certain posts are more prone to them than others, particularly those that begin with a format like, 'Bad times to ___,' 'World's Worst ___,' or Rejected Titles for ___,' among many ways those kind of posts can be written.

Because of that, I've decided to officially retire the prefix rule.

Other things I wanted to get to - I am considering adding at least a few more people to the moderating team to help us keep track and check for incorrectly formatted posts and replies. Hopefully this can be done as soon as I get some other things worked out first. But if you are interested in possibly becoming a moderator, leave a comment below expressing such or DM me, so I can add you to the list and let you know what would be expected of you if you are added.

The reason why I feel it's more necessary than ever now is because I learned some important information regarding the reason why a lot of people don't seem to remember or are unaware of the rules here - It is because the vast majority of users either discover or participate in this sub through mobile, whether on the web or on the Reddit app. On desktop, the rules are clearly written on the righthand sidebar and also in the link to the sub wiki page. The problem with mobile is that the UI for Reddit on mobile is NOT set up to where the sub rules are easily accessible on the front sub page or when you see a hot post.

Apparently, this was an issue that even some of the old moderators several years ago were aware of. But unless we decide to start setting up constant automatic messages every time somebody submits a post or a comment (which would obviously get incredibly annoying and spammy), there isn't really any way to solve this, just having more active moderators here.

Also, if any of you are interested, I recommend checking out r/MakeSomeDialogue, which is a community I created not too long after making this post and as a reboot of some sort to this sub. This sub will still remain open for all that still enjoy contributing here, but for anyone that has wanted an alternative to SFAH and/or another place to create funny prompts and act them out, there's now a place for you!

Appreicate everyone that reads this announcement.
