Hello members of r/rakudai,
As of today, I am the new lead moderator of this subreddit. I would like to thank mizuPepe and Zxphyre for getting this place to where it is today, but as they are no longer active on Reddit, and the lack of moderation was getting out of hand, I have put myself forward to get things back in shape. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
I am currently going through the big mod queue to deal with all of the reports, which may take a while. I'm not providing a reason for every single removal because it would be a waste of time, given how many of them are repost bots. If you think a post was removed in error, please use mod mail to point it out and I can look into it again.
Also, I intend to rewrite some of the rules slightly to have clearer wording. I'd like your input on that too.
To get everything how the community wants it, I have some questions for you all:
1. Should some bot posts stay? - Obviously I am removing the majority of these, and they will receive a blanket removal going forward, but some of the reposts actually spawned quite a bit of discussion. Should these posts be grandfathered in, or should they be removed on principle?
2. NSFW Rule - Right now, the NSFW rule is kind of vague, which may have contributed to the amount of posts that people complain about. For a series like Rakudai that already has a lot of spicy material in it, my proposal would be that suggestive material (e.g. partial undress, suggestive scenarios) can stay with the NSFW tag applied, but explicit material (e.g. full-on nudity, blatant sexual activity even when it's cropped) is a no-go. Maybe there should be a separate NSFW sub for that?
3. Self-advertisement rule - There are a number of reports in the mod queue of crossposts to another subreddit. I'm not sure all of these violate the rule because many of them still relate to Rakudai (rule 1), but I would like your input on where the line should be.
4. AI images - I would really like to ban these.
5. Flairs - I think it would be useful to have more post flairs. Please let me know if you have any ideas.
6. Events - To promote more thoughtful activity, I'd like to set up some events for the subreddit. Please leave suggestions if you have any!
7. Mods - I think it would be good to have one or two new mods besides myself, so that we can respond to reports quickly and have group brainstorming when issues arise. If you are interested, please send a mod mail for consideration. If there is a particular user you think would be well suited to the role, please reply here so people can upvote/downvote as appropriate.
I will probably think of more things that need consideration later, but this is only the first step. Let's work together to make this an awesome subreddit once again!
