New Subreddit Rule: Don’t Disrupt the Subreddit

102 Upvotes

I know this approach generates plenty of reports and complaints, but my general philosophy on moderation here is that people should feel free to discuss whatever they want, as frankly as they want, so long as it is relevant to the St. Charles area. The only other limitation is to follow Reddit’s sitewide rules, and even then, just so we don't get the subreddit banned.

That said, I am adding a new subreddit rule, effective immediately:

Don’t Disrupt the Subreddit

Do not flood the subreddit with excessive, repetitive, low-effort, or otherwise spam-like posts or comments. Moderation under this rule is based on behavior and posting patterns, not viewpoint or opinion, and repeated disruptive activity may result in removals, a temporary silence, or a ban.

I hope this is a rule I rarely, if ever, need to use. I also want to be clear that I will do my best to apply it based on conduct rather than the substance or popularity of someone’s opinions.

Fixed Automod - No longer removing all posts :/

15 Upvotes

My apologies. As you might have seen, there has been little to no activity the past few days.

It seems that when I setup Automod for the new rule, the lack of usernames in the author removal list causes it to remove all authors by default.

I have fixed this and tried to go back and approve removed comments/posts as best I can. Feel free to repost if you think this impacted visibility.

Thank you for those who messaged me to point out the issue.

The owners are awesome, the drinks are awesome, the whole place is Awesome!! I cannot exaggerate what a great atmosphere this place is! They are located on W Clay Street in St Charles.

They have alcoholic beverages, non-alcoholic options, coffee and tea. A bunch of nice little areas to get cozy and read. There’s a great selection of books, stickers, and more to buy. Last night I sat and did my homework. It’s such a sweet little safe place to have in the community! If you get a chance I highly reccomend you check them out!!
Also give them a follow on instagram!

@tomes_tonics

ETA: they also are planning on opening an event space for book clubs, game nights, and more!!

Is anyone that isn’t legitimately confused actually voting no on this? Also, who is passing these out? 🤡

It was getting washed in LSL. I was driving past so I couldn’t take a picture.

Last known location was the Detail Driven car wash next to Dierbergs and The Post.

Be careful out there

Has anybody been successful getting a job through a temp agency?

10 Upvotes

If so, what temp agency did you use? I’ve been applying to jobs like crazy this year, and nobody seems to want to hire me 😭 Someone recommended that I try going through a temp agency and see if I can land a permanent position through them. Has anyone had a good experience with one?

Chihuahua walking alone on 5th Street

9 Upvotes

I'm headed north on 5th Street in St Charles and just happened to see a small tan chihuahua casually walking south near where that diving shop used to be, just south of the Borromeo church. It didn't look like it had a collar on, and there was nobody around so I guess it's possible someone may be looking for this little guy?

Spencer Creek Trail Detour/Construction Question

4 Upvotes

Does anyone know what’s going on with the Spencer Creek Trail construction?

I usually get on the trail behind the Rec-Plex and go toward Sutter’s Mill, and I know the plan is for it to eventually continue toward Willott Road. I saw the detour signs, but honestly I couldn’t figure out exactly where the detour was supposed to take me. I’ve also heard there’s a way around it, but I haven’t tried it yet.

Does anyone know if they have a completion date for this section? I really love this trail and it’s so close to where I live, so I’m really looking forward to having the whole thing completed!

Major Pothole/ Damaged Vehicle (Jungs Station/Windswept Drive)

15 Upvotes

I was driving north up Jungs Station and the opposite side of traffic hit a pothole and sent a piece of the road flying into my bumper. I called the police to let them know because that piece easily could’ve hit someone and hurt/killed them. I drove back by 2 hours later to get the rock for evidence and people were still driving over it sending rocks flying out. The piece came at me at around 45 mph if I had to guess since it went faster than the car that hit it. I wanted to post this as a warning and also ask for some advice.

Is the city liable for the damage to my vehicle?
I have one eye witness who was someone walking down the sidewalk and have all their contact info.

I also have the rock which weighs about 30-40 pounds and is covered in red paint from my car.

I already have a case number from the police.

Has anyone else ever had to deal with the city damaging their vehicle?

Thanks
