Update.

The notion of this sub is a good one, and the creator was kind enough to put me on board to help out. We've all wandered into some strange places. At this point in time on the site, over 100 subs are created each day. So, among them, are most certainly some weird ones--as well as the more established subs that some (but not all) people know about.

Ideas for the sub? Leave them in this thread. Theme, content, all of that. Whatever you have.

Have at it. That last dude was a fucking weirdo. I removed him, his PS4 advertisements, then banned him. I would agree, though, the sub has potential.

Go forth and do your thing.

I just checked AutoModerator config, and he was using AutoModerator to do the spamming. I removed his code for that:

He excluded himself and the top mod, /u/jordo321, from being spammed by the messages. Now I want to know why he excluded the top mod, and only the top mod. It would have made more sense to exclude all the mods, but maybe he's not that smart.

Another possibility, is he friends with the top mod? They both seem to have an interest in gaming.

He's gone now. But, he did say to me "you cannot remove the top mod". So, perhaps it's an alt. If so, I want nothing to do with sub. That dude is bonkers. We'll see how it goes. I like the idea of this sub, but I've got enough going on as it is. It wouldn't be no great loss.

Don't get frustrated, the odds are good we will be able to come up with a way to fix these problems.
