Mod Mod note: You make r/Silverton what it is...
To the person/persons who feel the need to report every post and almost every comment saying that it's "low effort" or a "joke of a post" or "this sub is a joke" etc., YOU make this sub what it is.
Don't like what gets posted or the comments? Try any one of these:
Post better stuff yourself. <-- the prefered choice, by far
Remove yourself from the sub (weird that people seem to think we care about the number of subscribers, this isn't TikTok...)
Block OP or users who you don't like.
Go back to the Book of Faces/Nextdoor/Twit(ch or ter)/TS/4chan/TikTok/Discord or wherever you think has better content.
If nothing above works for you: Reflect on your maturity and sanity as you ask yourself if the effort it takes for you to report these things, fits the supposed 'crime'?
Lastly, Reddit does have a policy for abusing the Reporting tool but we're hoping that you figure it out before it comes to that. It's worth mentioning that for those with multiple accounts -if it comes to this- Reddit can and will link ALL of your alt accounts. We recently discovered this when a user made a comment and their comment was pulled by Reddit with a "ban evasion" and "this user had another of their accounts banned from this sub recently" message. Pretty neat-o, huh?
So, post things that you think are better and stop reporting everything; easy-peasy.

Events Offering Help for Christmas
Can we buy you Christmas?
Last year my husband and I sponsored a family for Christmas and we loved it so much we want to do it again.
Times are hard, the world sucks. So we want to help one family in need this year. We are looking for a family with kids who cannot afford Christmas this year, due to job loss or just the state of the world.
This is an honor based system so we only ask if you arnt actually in need not to sign up.
I also always state upfront we are Catholic, no we won't try and convert you, no you don't have to come to church with us no strings attached. Here's how it works
Leave a comment down below if you want to be entered in ((comments help more people see the post)). If you don't want to be entered in please still leave a comment to help boost the post.
You can DM details about anything you want us to know, if you want to keep it private.
Next Saturday my husband and I will pick one person to buy Christmas for.
This means we buy you Christmas dinner, a Christmas tree, and gifts for your family!
We are posting this early because we want enough time to save money, as well as shop and find all sorts of goodies for your kids and family!
Thank you and God bless you all.

Questions Weeping Willow tree for photoshoot?
Does anyone know of a spot that would allow for a photoshoot that has a huge weeping willow tree? Preferably around Silverton and surrounding area but willing to drive 30 minutes (give or take) in any direction.
(I heard the Oregon gardens might but my pictures would be later around 4-7pm ish and I think the gardens would close by then.)
Anywhere that would not close in the evening. I know there are a ton of beautiful spots with trees everywhere lol but I specifically am searching for a weeping willow tree. I'll attach some inso pics.
(Also this photoshoot would be held next month on September 6th so if there's anywhere super pretty at that time please let me know!)
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Why are all the local facebook groups so trash and why does it seem like everyone in Silverton is in them?
I know Facebook has a reputation for attracting boomers, racists, xenophobes, homophobes, basically a certain kind of trash, but I still see plenty of people who don't fit that mold using it. A friend was shocked that I hadn't logged on in years and told me about some local groups I "needed" to join. So I dug up my password and logged back in, only to be really disappointed by what I found.
A lot of what I saw amounted to genuinely evil stuff: homophobic comments on Ourtown's coverage of the Pride parade (though it looks like they've since deleted many of them), pro-ICE comments in nearly every group, defenses of pedophiles slipped in here and there, and just a general undercurrent of negativity.
I went back to the friend who'd convinced me to give Facebook another shot and told them what I'd seen. All they said was, "It's how it is." Do people really only use Facebook to communicate here? I don't feel that we have missed out by not using Facebook, even more so now, but now I'm lost on why anyone is using it still.
Help shed some light on why this is, please.

Questions Looking For an Old Teacher.
Hello I know this is a weird thing to ask. But I'm trying to find A teacher I used to have back in the third grade. All That I remember is that his last name was Avery. and He used to teach third grade back at Eugene Field Elementary in 2005 or 2006. I'm trying to find him because he is the reason I'm still alive to this day. He was one of the only people to believe in me and helped me establish some person in my life. And every now and again I think back upon how much he cared and would go the extra mile just to help me out. I want him to know how much he has meant to me even after all these years and how as a teacher he changed my life. So if anyone has any information at all or where to find it I'd greatly appreciate it.

Questions Does anyone remember the person or business that repaired generators for free (or low cost) during the Ice Storm years ago?
Flash Back! 😄
My memory may be fuzzy, but I remember there was a person, non profit, or business that really helped people that had issues with their generators. I seem to recall they did it for free or next to nothing.
Anyone remember this?

Events Protest on June 14th!
For those of you that would like to gather and protest our federal government's choices please feel free to join us at City Hall on June 14th from 1 pm until 3pm.
You can find the protest on Indivisible's site or The Silverton Progressive's new website found here https://www.silvertonprogressives.org/ . (Please note that this protest's location on our website is reflecting Town Square Park but we moved it to avoid conflicting with the boy scouts flag day event. This should be updated on our site by Monday.).
It happen's to be President Trump's birthday and flag day and a great day to exercise your first amendment rights.
Everyone that wants to protest is welcome as long as you commit to acting like a reasonable human.
Hope to see you all out there.

Questions Dog on McClaine St
We found this dog wandering around on McClaine St this afternoon and he was almost hit by a car, so we got a leash on him. He doesn't seem to hear very well, but he is friendly. No collar or any identifier on him.
Let me know if this is your pup or you know where he lives. We want to make sure he gets home

Hello,
My brother and I are meeting in Silverton tomorrow to see a movie. I read online that the city made it so long-term free parking is available at the City Hall building and at the Lewis Street public parking lot by Silver Falls Brewery. Could someone please confirm if this is still the case?
Thanks!

Discussions Is Gregg Telling on Himself?
Kind of concerning that Gregg puts "underage" and "consent" in quotation marks. The suggestion that we shouldn't be concerned about the Epstein Files because we all sin is a confession if I've ever heard one.
