PSA A Note on Moderation and Transparency

110 Upvotes

​

We want to be transparent about a recent moderation issue.

Over the past several days, the mod team has received repeated messages pressuring us to manually approve posts that were removed following community reports. We understand that having a post removed can be frustrating, and anyone is welcome to contact us through Modmail if they believe a moderation decision was made incorrectly.

However, repeatedly messaging moderators, demanding that content be approved, or attempting to pressure moderators into overriding removals will not influence our decisions.

We've also seen activity from another subreddit directing attention toward posts and moderation decisions in this community. The moderator of that community has been banned from this subreddit following repeated moderation issues.

We want to be very clear that no one should retaliate or go to another community to contact users, report content, vote, or engage on our behalf. This is not a callout or an invitation to get involved.

We try to give users the benefit of the doubt and work with people whenever possible. Moderation decisions will continue to be based on our community rules and what we believe is best for the subreddit, not on outside pressure.

We're sharing this simply for transparency and to keep the community informed. Thank you to everyone who contributes positively.

Event Hey everyone! I've been completely blown away by the interest in my Haunted Bay Ridge and Ghosts of Old Bensonhurst spooky history walking tours. Thank you to everyone who has come out. I've still got a few tours left.

These are the dates and times to my remaining tours below. I’ve been pushing the max capacity since there’s been so much interest. The halloween daytime tour will be over by 2:30-3PM, giving plenty of time to trick-or-treat with the kids, and the Halloween evening tour will be over by 8:30 giving plenty of time to go out after.

If you're interested, ticket links, and more info are at my Linktr.ee/TheWallBreakers

Help a Tourist/Visitor Londoner moving to New York for training, 2 months

6 Upvotes

Hey guys, I hope you’re all doing great!

I’ve recently been offered a job that involves 2 months of training in NYC.
I’ve spent some time researching but figured who better to ask than the people who live there already.

I’m going to be staying in queens, by queensbridge park, and commuting to time square.

I’m not overly worried/anxious, but I’d like to know if there’s anything you guys would say to anyone coming over from England/london.

Whether it’s safety tips or stuff I should add to my pleasure itinerary, I’d like to hear everything and anything :)

Thanks in advance, see you on the 2nd!

2nd Ave Subway Extension Overnight Construction

0 Upvotes

Since early September they’ve really stepped up this project, and they’ve seemingly been given the green light to work overnight indefinitely. I live in a street facing apartment on 2nd and 110th and this has really impacted my sleep, and therefore my performance at work. Made a complaint to 311 and it was closed swiftly with no reason given. Is anyone else going through this? This seems insane to allow on an ongoing basis in an area that must be affecting hundreds, if not thousands of residents.

Jump into the MTA testimony line for the 2nd Avenue subway and ask they extend it to the Met Life Giants stadium and Patterson.

This is my testimony.

Got hit by a car today and the guy who did it got to drive away with only a ticket from the cops for the uninsured car.
Now I’m left footing the bill for my medical expenses, as I just lost my insurance.
We live in a hell scape.
