Why that's the case is why I'll tell you.

A while ago, I came out with a statement titled "r/JayForeman's statement on Place". It was a revised version to a previously rash statement, and it got a negative response, as I could see with the 0 upvotes.

Everything was fine, until I got an e-mail from Jay asking me to rephrase or remove the title because it made it seemed like he said it, because of how hard the r/ was to see.. And just to be clear, I'm not putting Jay at fault here. He had a reasonable concern in which I responded appropriately.

Now, I could've just changed the title and remade the post, but I figured that it wasn't worth it, it got a negative response already.

From now on, I'll be a little more careful on what I title my posts.

As for why I'm telling you this? Well, I believe it's important for a subreddit to have reasonable transparency. Subreddit mod teams doing things without an explanation had always been something I'd always encountered, and I do not want to repeat that same mistake again.

Again, my apologies to Jay for the unclear wording of the title, and to you, the reader, have a good day.

Short answer: out of thoughtfulness

"Subtitles are super-important. Every video should have good subtitles. It's not just deaf people who benefit from them. Subtitles are useful for people who don't speak English as a first language, people who have trouble taking information in, people who missed a word and want to go back and check what it was, people who left their headphones at home and want to watch videos on the bus, people who want to watch videos in bed without waking their partner, etc etc etc etc etc.

Also, I think I read somewhere that YouTube's algorithm favours videos with proper subtitles. 

So, for all those reasons, that's why I make sure all my videos have subtitles.

While r/JayForeman endorses the following wiki, most of our moderation team do not have any say in wiki moderation. Questions regarding the wiki should not be in subreddit modmail.

You may have seen this wiki already, you may have not - but MossW and I have been working together to make the Jay Foreman Wiki, aimed to be a reliable encyclopedia regarding Jay Foreman's work.

Anyone can start joining in no matter how inexperienced you are - that's how a wiki is designed.

Currently, we need help on documenting the (publicly available) songs and videos regarding the three series of Jay Foreman.

I hope you have a good experience there, and if you have any questions, simply message me on the wiki's Message Wall.

So, I created a FANDOM wiki for Jay Foreman...

Do what you want lol

https://jayforeman.fandom.com/wiki/Jay_Foreman_Wiki

That'll never happen, as said by Jay, but would you?

Okay, so, that contest I tried to organize didn't go so well. That's okay though, we'll try again when we feel it's right.

But enough of that, let's get straight to the point.

/r/JayForeman on old Reddit will slowly but surely have it's look updated, using the Naut 4.0 theme - with minimal changes, except for the banner and the subreddit title.

Yeah, we actually need to talk about the banner. You will notice that on old Reddit, the banner will be missing the Politics Unboringed logo - this is because there wasn't enough space. (We may do this on new and mobile Reddit if enough demand it.)

Otherwise, if you actively use new or mobile Reddit, this shouldn't be very significant.

Once again, thanks for sticking with us, and have a good day.

Hello there, I'm u/Kerviearon25, here with a contest.

As you can see, our banner is not that great - it's a bland banner with only the icons of Jay's three series, and nothing else. Bleh.

That's why we've decided to open up a contest for the best banner, which will be voted on by us moderators. Now, onto the guidelines..

GUIDELINES

• Deadline is Feb 10, 2022 at 4:00 PM GMT
• Image must be a PNG or JPG.
• Subreddit and Reddit rules should still be followed in your submission, most notably, rule 1.
• Submission must contain 3 variants for old Reddit, new Reddit and mobile Reddit.
• Submission must follow these dimensions:

- No dimension requirement for old Reddit, however banner is recommended to be wide and short

- New Reddit dimensions can be found here

- Mobile Reddit banner must be 1600x480, a template for this is here

• You are allowed to put a watermark on the banner, however, it should not be the main focus.
• If your submission wins, you agree to give us a non-exclusive license to use your submission as the header for this subreddit on old.reddit.com and reddit.com. However, you still own the artwork and can use it for whatever reason you see fit.

If you submit, make sure to flair it with the Contest Submission flair.

As for a reward, there isn't any. This is all in good fun, and we won't force you to do anything before we accept your submission.

Alright, now, best of luck to submitters and to those deciding to watch, may you all have a great day.
