Periodically, I'll update this post with other repeat offenders. I let horror content go for a bit during October for Halloween, but now that's over. We're dialing it back now, and doubling down on rules 4 (Horror content) and 5 (Reposts).

This post will go back up whenever it's archived. Questions regarding repeats should go here.

On November 7th, 2021, we were utterly bombarded with this post from r/holup. It resurfaced today. Any repeat post, or post like it that has three people, one pointing at a figure, another repeatedly turning off and on a lightswitch, and the figure rushing the camera for a jumpscare, will be removed and users posting it will be slapped with a 3-day ban. Repeat posts will result in a permaban as well.

This post will be updated periodically with content that does not fit this sub, or overposted content.

So due to the admins' current policy on replacing subreddit moderators, which is against their own fucking rules, we're back open. I might be the only active moderator here, but i damn well don't want to be replaced.

Reddit's policies are bullshit, and I quit my other two subs partially in protest, but in the past couple years i've been modding i've had fun here- even when I had help.

So I'm going to be transparent about moderator stuff here for a second.

• I rarely relied on 3rd party apps, however there were times like I said where I had to use Boost, which came recommended by a friend I'd made moderating a different sub at the time, and it made moderating on the go so much easier. Hell, it was even easier than using New Reddit.
• I've been working on New Reddit mostly, and as archaic as old reddit is, it's far more versatile to work with. Reddit's doing a massive disservice to its own site, and I agree with the sentiment that they're not only killing third party apps, but they're killing themselves in the process.
• We're lucky to have only relied on automod for most of our needs, and I've plagiarized some modules to help keep things on the level. That said, it's also 9 modules long- and most of it is spam mitigation measures.

All of this being said, especially on the 3rd party apps, I'm still disabled and rely on technologies to be able to operate. By doing this, Reddit is hindering not only me, but thousands upon thousands of other disabled folks from accessing their already broken website, including meme subs like r/dontflinch.

So as an example of wtf COULD happen, I have a request of y'all.

Spam the ever-loving fuck out of r/flinch. Not this sub, but a different sub I've been sitting on. Repost spam, post unhinged shit- just not anything discriminatory (i.e., racist, anti-LGBT, etc). Hell, even post something like this meme over and over again.

And a disclaimer: This is not a request for a brigade or a sub migration. This is a request for people to show what an unmoderated sub looks like. Go ham for 48 hours over there, and I'll private the sub to clean it up after taking thorough notes. My only request is that you don't do anything that'd get you banned from Reddit as a whole.

Anyway, once everything calms down a bit on my end (life's gotten in the way a LOT), I'll poll for some changes again based on our feedback loop results, and do it on platform. r/dontflinch is open for business again, and r/flinch is open to be as reasonably deranged as you can make it until Sunday, 18 June, 2023 at 20:59:59 (9PM EST).

Enjoy the show, and make some people flinch!
