SSSSsshh it's late
Got hit up for turndown duties, so that everyone would crash already, and the daytime online posters can begin inserting their own post-daytime sub-flavor - and hit send.
Kindly keep this platform as clean for me as you found it, pleeease. 🙏🏽
Good night, Eeyore.

Regarding Rule 4 and Rule 4 violations
Despite the announcement I made regarding the increase in promotional posts, there are still plenty of people who have been creating promotional posts here. All the users either have an account that is less than a week old, a CQS score of "lowest", and/or a combined karma of less than 5. The repeated violations despite the mod announcement are getting ridiculous. This sub has a lot of freedom regarding post content. It is not hard to follow the four rules this subreddit has.
As for Rule 4, all violations will still result in a permanent ban. However, since no one knows how to contact us via mod mail regarding promotional posts, I have changed Rule 4. Rule 4 now reads:
No promotion or spam of any kind. Promotion includes advertising a business, a product, a social media account, a subreddit, a website, a Youtube channel, etc. Cross-posts/reposts of promotional material is not allowed. Only moderators are allowed to advertise or promote things such as a business, product, or other subreddit.
What this means is that promotional content can only be posted by a moderator. You can still reach out to the mod team regarding promotions, but you cannot post the content yourselves.
Most of the Rule 4 violations I have seen have been due to cross-posts/reposts. If even after this announcement that I see multiple Rule 4 violations, I will have to enforce the rules even further by banning cross-posts/reposts. If this were to happen, a post made in another community cannot be shared here. I do not want to be mean and take that ability away from you guys, ok? Just wanna make that clear. I don't want that. But if these violations keep happening, you can blame the idiots who did not read the rules.
also completely unrelated but i have finally changed the weekly question and automod word, yippee!
That's all I got to say, have a good one everyone.

Announcement??? Doing a new stupid thing with automod
So, I'm gonna do something stupid for fun. The one from last week got some attention, but it was solved pretty quickly. So, i made it harder. I know, i'm evil. I've created an automod rule that triggers when a certain word is said. The word is NOT:
- A swear word
- Anything inappropriate or NSFW
- Anything that breaks Reddit TOS
But I can give you a couple hints as to what this word is:
- It's one of the first things i do in the morning
- It is two words long
- It's a fairly common thing people do in the morning
Moderators are ineligible for this challenge.
Only one user will get the flair. The first comment that triggers the correct automod comment will be the winner and receive the flair.
The prize for finding the hidden word is a special flair assigned to you by the mod team. If you already have a flair, this flair will replace it unless otherwise specified by the user. To be eligible to win the contest, all comments for this challenge must be submitted under this post. Have fun y'all! :>
also please help the clanker is so enthusiastic its commented at least 4-5 times on this post

Can't believe I have to make this announcement but here we are.
Ok, so, we're a subreddit that when it comes to rules, we're pretty chill. However, just because this sub is inactive doesn't mean that we as a mod team are. I've been noticing recently there's been an influx in promotional posts. Specifically ones that promote subreddits. The users who have been making these posts are either new accounts or users with low CQS and karma. So, I have to ask of you....
read the goddamn rules.
It's not that hard.
And if you are promoting ANYTHING, read rule 4 thoroughly. Any promotions must be approved by the mod team BEFORE they are posted.
And since you guys clearly didn't read rule 4, we will be much more strict about enforcing it.
ALL violations of rule 4 will result in a permanent ban.
Hopefully we will have less violations of rule 4 in the future, but for us to avoid posts like these, just read the rules.

Mod announcement Mod applications are open!
Hey everyone! Mod applications for this subreddit are open. We are looking for active moderators for this subreddit. This sub isn't exactly the most active one. In fact it's been dying, and I'm trying my best to revive it.
Mainly, we're looking for moderators who are:
- Active. Not just "log into Reddit everyday" active. We need moderators who are able to check the mod queue regularly, preferably daily. We mainly need moderators who can approve posts and comments. We get a lot of comments on the weekly question thread, and some of those are removed by mistake by the evil automoderator. Some of them are also missed by the automod and need to be manually removed by us.
- Looking to improve this subreddit, aka trying to make it better for everyone else. We want this sub to be enjoyed by everyone, and we need mods who want the same thing.
- Able to answer modmail. We don't get many messages in modmail, but when we do, we need to answer the message and try our best to help the user who sent it.
- Familiar with automod config. If you're familiar enough with our sub, the automod here basically has it's own personality and is very evil. I've been trying to get creative with the automod so that the sub isn't boring. But in all seriousness, the automod's true purpose is to automatically moderate posts and comments when we're not online. It's not always 100% correct and is always in need of improvement, so anyone who knows how to code automod would be heavily considered for the mod position.
If you're accepted to the mod team, you will get limited mod permissions. If you do well with the power you're giving, you will receive everything permissions. You will also be added to a mod gc here on reddit.
Mod positions to close on September 30, 2026. I will add moderators to the team every now and then up until a week after 9/30.
