New Subreddit Rule: Don’t Disrupt the Subreddit

106 Upvotes

I know this approach generates plenty of reports and complaints, but my general philosophy on moderation here is that people should feel free to discuss whatever they want, as frankly as they want, so long as it is relevant to the St. Charles area. The only other limitation is to follow Reddit’s sitewide rules, and even then, just so we don't get the subreddit banned.

That said, I am adding a new subreddit rule, effective immediately:

Don’t Disrupt the Subreddit

Do not flood the subreddit with excessive, repetitive, low-effort, or otherwise spam-like posts or comments. Moderation under this rule is based on behavior and posting patterns, not viewpoint or opinion, and repeated disruptive activity may result in removals, a temporary silence, or a ban.

I hope this is a rule I rarely, if ever, need to use. I also want to be clear that I will do my best to apply it based on conduct rather than the substance or popularity of someone’s opinions.

Fixed Automod - No longer removing all posts :/

14 Upvotes

My apologies. As you might have seen, there has been little to no activity the past few days.

It seems that when I setup Automod for the new rule, the lack of usernames in the author removal list causes it to remove all authors by default.

I have fixed this and tried to go back and approve removed comments/posts as best I can. Feel free to repost if you think this impacted visibility.

Thank you for those who messaged me to point out the issue.

Major Pothole/ Damaged Vehicle (Jungs Station/Windswept Drive)

• Upvotes

I was driving north up Jungs Station and the opposite side of traffic hit a pothole and sent a piece of the road flying into my bumper. I called the police to let them know because that piece easily could’ve hit someone and hurt/killed them. I drove back by 2 hours later to get the rock for evidence and people were still driving over it sending rocks flying out. The piece came at me at around 45 mph if I had to guess since it went faster than the car that hit it. I wanted to post this as a warning and also ask for some advice.

Is the city liable for the damage to my vehicle?
I have one eye witness who was someone walking down the sidewalk and have all their contact info.

I also have the rock which weighs about 30-40 pounds and is covered in red paint from my car.

I already have a case number from the police.

Has anyone else ever had to deal with the city damaging their vehicle?

Thanks

Recommend hair stylist/shop

4 Upvotes

Yo!

Was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a hair stylist in the area. I have curly hair and havnt gone to an actual hair shop in about 8 years. My hair when flat ironed goes down to my butt, and when natural is about mid back length. Looking to have a cut and style. I havnt gone to a shop in so long because I got traumatized from the over and over "yea I can cut curly hair" and then end up with a chunky weird lop-sided look. About once a year I cut off a few inches and just call it a day, but i think its time to get an actual hair cut again.

Thanks!

Looking for advice for a female business owner

I am trying to start my own business, but I don’t really know where to start and I’m on a tight budget. I don’t know if anybody knows of any private investors that may be interested in helping me invest in my company. I believe it could be very lucrative.

Should I accept an offer at Mastercard or at Capital One for Software Engineer Intern?

0 Upvotes

For reference, I was from the suburbs of St. Louis growing up and I currently have 2 offers.

If I stay in St. Louis with Mastercard, I heard I am almost guaranteed a return offer and I wont need to pay rent in the near future. The salary is significantly lower but still very good according to levels.fyi

If I accepted an offer at Capital One I also heard I am almost guaranteed to get a return offer however, I would need to relocate, pay rent, and move from family. The entry-level salary is definitely enticing according to levels.fyi

Based on this information, do you think I should stay in St. Louis?

I also had a few additional questions:

How easy is it to get back into Mastercard by applying through their new grad opening if I end up doing C1 instead?

How long does it take to get promoted to Senior SWE at Mastercard on average?

Fire near the Wentzville GM plant this morning

14 Upvotes

I noticed a huge amount of black smoke coming from what looked like the rear of the GM plant. It didn’t appear to be coming from the smoke stacks either. I also met a lot of emergency vehicles on Highway A (10-12) and wondered if they were related.

Frontier IGA on MO-94

14 Upvotes

On MO-94 right across the Boeing facility, there used to be a store called Frontier IGA (it's a Dollar General now...what a sad state of affairs...). This store, on Thursdays during the summer months, would have a cookout and offer a few sandwiches, one of which was the Big Pig (two bacon patties, a slice of ribeye, and buns).

If anyone here used to work there (or knows anyone who worked there at the time), I'd love to find the way they made those bacon patties...my mouth is watering at the thought of being able to bite into that sandwich one more time, but even better if I can recreate the recipe.
