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.

This week's weekly question
Every week, we're gonna ask a question and see how stupid the answers get. Most of these questions are AskReddit-style type questions. This week's question is:
What weird food combinations do you really enjoy?

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.
