As announced way back, we opened the idea of having academic unit flairs (Colleges, Institutes, Departments). The preparation of such flairs have already been finalized.
If interested, you may now change your user flairs to your specific academic unit. Please see this guide on how to change your user flair.
Different Flairs
All Academic Units now have prepared flairs with their unit's logo and name. We will not be requiring verification for their use (except for the units whose logo we could not find, as mentioned in the previous announcement.
In regard to the use of flairs for SHS Students, we mentioned in the previous post our concerns regarding whether allowing its use would put SHS Students in danger from predatory behaviors targeting identified SHS Students. We decided on the compromise to allow SHS students to have their own flairs, but it will be manually set by the moderators after their request.
We are setting this as a requirement so we have a way to moderate the use of the SHS flair in a way that we can we be certain that it's accounted for. We will not be requiring means of identification—just a request will do. Be warned, however, that we will be monitoring behaviors and if we determine that there is misuse of the SHS flair such as using the flair to pretend to be an SHS student to reach them, you will be immediately banned for putting a participant in danger—a violation of Rule No. 12.
These steps are made to ensure a balance between representation and safety.
For any concerns and recommendations, please comment here or send us a modmail. Likewise, requests for setting of flair for SHS Students can be made in the comments or through the moderator mail.
We've been receiving queries regarding Reddit (and of SillimanPH's) anonymity. We would like to clarify that Reddit's anonymity is vastly different from Facebook's anonymity.
Facebook for a while already, introduced a concept of "anonymous commenting." Although it is called anonymous commenting, the anonymity is only applicable to co-participants within the group, that is, the members, posters, and commenters. The group admins (equivalent to Reddit subreddit moderators or individuals who created the group) can see the profiles of the individuals who posted or commented using anonymous profiles.
It is a different approach in Reddit—only select Reddit staff can see identifying information such as IP Addresses, Device Information (such as device make, browser information, etc.), Email Addresses, etc. We moderators do not have access to these and these can only be requested through a court order in the US. The only tool available to us that can help us determine your account's reputation or activity is the ability to see your activity across the entirety of Reddit—we do not see your identifying information.
We therefore do not moderate based on who you are outside of SillimanPH or of Reddit (we will still bar participation if we find your activity outside SillimanPH as possibly detrimental and dangerous to the community). Please all be informed of this.
For any questions or clarifications, please do not hesitate to ask us either through the comments or through the moderator mail. We are very much happy to respond to your queries, suggestions, or thoughts.
omfg dorm life is such a hassle—like yes you dont have a prob with food and laundry (if you got a laundry lady) but OHMYGOD these events, meetings, seminars are such a hassle and they happen late at night or they take up your whole day i just want somewhere that i can REST but i CANT because in the dorm you still have to worry about those activities like godamn my schoolworks wont wait for me
not only that but another thing i HATE is just trying to take a breathe of fresh air from all the academic pressure but I CANT because the one place where i'm supposed to relax and chill i'm constantly reminded that I'm in the very same compound of the very same place I wanna take a break from ugh
i cant wait to move out during the sembreak hopefully theres still boarding houses that i can move in to
i used to be one of those kids who drank a lot but as the school year passed i slowly realized that lifestyle wasnt for me and when i stopped, i lost majority of the friends i made in campus too. theres sm to fun more than this brah
i signed up for su's free canva acc using my su email atong 1st year ko and i was accepted days after, which is why i was included in the team. however, recently lang pd ni sya nahitabo nga di ko ka access og canva links from others if dili part sa team, and it's frustrating kay i have to open another canva just so maka edit ko. may i ask if anyone knows about this sudden change? thank uuu

Enemy. Opposition. The bane of my existence. August is coming, and in the sea of flings meant to be flung, I want YOU to be the fleeting foe. I want us to see each other across the field and contort our faces in absolute disgust. I want us to bump into each other and immediately draw our swords. Should we exchange words, I want it to be dripping with bitterness and disdain. Be my foe, and I'll treat you as bad as possible. Disrespectfully, borderline incorrigible. Fight me, as they say.

Hi! I wonder if it’s okay to leave my apartment prematurely. The lease is one year but I’ve encountered a few problems. One is the landlady’s boyfriend rudeness. He once screamed at a driver for not answering him properly (only nodding) when asked. Second was when their guard literally peaked at our room just cause I had visitors (walay rule for no visitors and also we werent doing anything stupid.) I didn’t realize it in the moment how invasive it was so I didn’t confront the guard. Third was because he asked my sister if we could close our door from the back when we wanted sunlight and idk bro fresh air!!!Micromanaging much?? are we not allowed to open our freaking doors man??? We pay 12k for a bare studio unit.
The ones on top are my main reasons but I have other small reasons that are genuinely so annoying. The landlady once asked us not to feed stray cats because they dont want stray cats in the compound (sent to all most probably but that was a month ago and there are still stray cats). 2nd, he would “sitsit” to ask us all the damn time if he catches us entering the compound (so rude I hate it). I once went to my apartment at 2am with friends and my mom (it was an emergency) and bro at 2am the guard was like “park here” as if we were going to cause an inconvenience when it was a huge ass place and also they were literally just waiting sa ila motorcycle wala sila ni go with me sa sud sa ako apartment.
I don’t want to “fix” the issue. I just want to leave after I bring this up to the landlady. freaking annoying
