MOD NOMINATIONS OPEN Community Nominations for r/FrankOcean Mods
Hi all and happy new year, Curb here with an community announcement and a request.
Preamble:
I was added as a moderator of this sub a little over 5 years. I volunteered to help as the original mod team became busier in their day-to-day lives. It was my expectation at that time that I would clean as I regularly browsed. That has not been the reality.
When I joined, there were 4 mods (+1 who just moderated the community chat). I've since added 7 more mods and fleshed out the automoderator to take care of spam and the most low-effort posts. Regardless of that fact, I still do the bulk of the moderation here by a pretty significant margin.

To give you some idea, here is an abridged list of moderator actions for the last 365 days. Additional context: u/ImadeJesusLaugh has been on the team for exactly a month today. I greatly appreciate their help.
Fun fact: Reddit admins reached out to me personally during Coachella 2023 because I was the only active mod. I moderated a total of 32 hours during the first weekend. š That's when I brought on u/-Wess- and u/BroodPlatypus.
The point of sharing this isn't to condemn the inactivity of the other mods. Everyone's got stuff going on. (Some very cool and exciting!) Priorities and interests change. That's exactly why I'm writing this message. My priorities are changing too.
I don't plan to get into the specifics of my personal life here, but suffice it to say I don't have the time to dedicate to this community that I did before. I need to step awayāindefinitely, if not entirely. It's time for some new members of the community to step up.
Our last public call for moderators was almost 5 years ago, so we're going to do that again!
This is how it will work...
Nominations
Use the comments in this thread (and only this thread) to nominate members of the community you think are fit to join the moderation team. Before you comment,Ā please searchĀ (Ctrl/ā + F) for the username of your nominee to see if they have already been nominated. Use upvotes and/or commentedĀ seconds)Ā to support your candidate.
Be descriptive in your nominations and seconds. We want to know why this member of the community is worthy of the role. Are they active everyday? Have they been particularly helpful in answering questions for new members? Do they surface interesting links and content? Do they stand up for folks being attacked in the replies? We want to know!
You are free to nominate yourself. However, you will need to back up your nomination just as everyone else does, with concrete examples of your exemplary participation in the community. Evidence of existing moderation experience is a plus. Otherwise, seconds are absolutely required to be considered for selection.
If you feel there is any reason why a nomineeĀ shouldnātĀ be considered, youāre free to share this, but keep your response respectful and rational. Remember, āwe have good discussion.ā
If a candidate would prefer to withdraw their name from consideration, they can either reply to their nomination or PM me to do so discreetly.
Weāll leave nominations open forĀ at leastĀ a week.
Selection
After nominations close, the existing mod team will review the nominees. What happens next will depend on the number of quality candidates. The most likely event is that we will simply choose the 2-3 most outstanding nominees and verify their acceptance of the role. At which point, we will announce the new members of the team to the sub in a separate post.
Remember to follow all of the subās rules as you converse in the comments below. I look forward to everyoneās nominations as well as their kind and considered participation in this process. Thank you all!
Update 1/27/25: Thank you for the nominations. Weāll lock this post and review the candidates sometime next week. Feel free to nominate until then.

Buy / Sell / Trade Monthly Marketplace - Buy, Sell, & Trade (April 2025)
In an effort to consolidate and increase visibility to buy / sell / trade posts in the sub, we're trying out a single monthly thread for this purpose.
If you are selling or looking to trade an item of Frank Ocean merchandise, list your item with the following information:
- The shipping location (country/state).
- Where you are willing to ship to.
- A photo of your item on hand (not a generic photo you found online)
- Bonus points if you have your username and date written on paper in the photo.
- A link to your item if listed on a selling platform (eBay, Grailed, etc.)
If any of these pieces of information are missing, your listing is subject to removal. New items will be posted to the top of the thread. Those found abusing the sort order are subject to a ban. Individual posts will be removed.
Please follow the rules of our community. We encourage the use of PayPal's "Goods and Services" option for buyer protection.

Discussion where did 'the lonny breaux collection' and 'undocumented rare' come from?
ik that they are fan made compilations, but where did the songs come from?
is it just that over a hundred songs of frank's have been leaked and were put on the collection, or have they been released by other means over the years, like his Tumblr or something?

Discussion Changes
So this is the cleanest version of Changes that Iām aware of, as itās been a year or so since this Iām wondering if anyone has an updated version of this or if anyone knows a way I can make this cleaner. Itās my favourite frank song and is probably one of my all time favourite songs and I just need to hear it crisper

unofficial merch / bootlegs Copped a vinyl for Channel Orange!
From the past posts about vinyls for CO, it seems like it's unlikely real. Either way it seems like it's a struggle to actually find some still so I hope this was a good purchase! I got it from The Last Bookstore in DTLA for like $60ish after tax. How'd I do?!

Discussion what was frank doing with the singles in 2019/20?
in 2019/20, the singles he released (in my room, dhl, cayendo and dear April) all had the same silhouettes on the cover, each one highlighting a different silhouette. and on each cover there is a fair few silhouettes.
was this the start of some sort of rollout? where each silhouette represented a new song on an album.
idk I wasnt tapped into frank in 2019/20, so it might be common knowledge on what they mean
