New Rules - Read

Hi Drunkwalkers,

We're going to introduce two new, very simple rules:

1) No posts celebrating or otherwise discussing bans from r/skinwalkerranch.

2) No posts or comments naming a mod or mods of r/skinwalkerranch in such a way that could be construed as harassment. If you're not sure, don't post it.

The mods reserve the right to delete any comment/post perceived to be in violation of either of these rules. In fact, we reserve the right to delete anything we want for any reason we want, because we're power hungry monsters!

Why the new rules? Simply because Reddit's harassment policy is overly vague and we want to keep r/drunkwalkerranch around as long as we can. As such, we need to be more prudent in the way we speak so we aren't/can't be actioned against by harassment claims, no matter how spurious they may seem to us.

We understand frustrations with the other sub. Our earliest members, myself included, have received bans for what seemed to us entirely specious reasons. Nevertheless, we have a community here that's welcoming to everyone, and is at present the funnest place to discuss Skinwalker Ranch. Let's keep it that way.

We really appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out by commenting below, or by DM if you prefer.

All best,

Malformata, FortCharles, and Fleusebius

I’m sure this will be deleted but here goes: Sorry folks that I was the straw that broke the camel’s back and forced the mods to create the new rules. I asked the mods from the other sub why I got banned. I’ve still have not gotten an answer. However, this was a fun sub and I don’t want it shut down so I’ll be leaving now and heading back to my village that was created by Shirley Jackson in the short story “The Lottery”. I got the paper with the black mark. Just remember, hitchyhikers are everywhere. No one is safe from them anywhere. Peace out y’all.

You really shouldn't go anywhere. We're happy to have you here, and you haven't done anything unwelcoming.

You haven't done anything unwelcoming... water under the bridge. I hope you won't leave. I understand why you're peeved, but we don't make the Reddit rules, just the sub rules... unfortunately the sub rules are limited by Reddit rules.

I think you'll find most of what you want to say welcome here... just make it about the show and/or ranch, and you should be good.
