MOD[Mod] State of the Subreddit (self.ClashOfClans)

Sauron21 が 投稿

Hello Clashers!

I know you guys were promised a SOTS post yesterday, but as usual, our AutoMod ended up not posting it. Not really sure what's going on with the damn thing. So I decided to post it manually.

So what exactly is on your mind? How can the moderators improve? Are there any changes you would like to see made? Please keep in mind that, while pointing out problems is helpful, we need to think of solutions. This post should be for coming together and working out a way to make our subreddit a wonderful place.

You edited the top post but left the rest of your whiny ridiculous comments down below, but removed the original post.

Do you, or the other mods honestly think that this level of immaturity is accceptable?

Did you learn that you have no power to "allow" other subreddits to exist?

I honestly think you should step down as moderator here.

[–]johnsabossTh10 Lv127 TR3222 14ポイント15ポイント  (0子コメント)

agreed, we need a new palette of mods (besides a few).

[–]DernierRoi 5ポイント6ポイント  (9子コメント)

Of course the mods don't respond to this lol

[–]SoNotALawyer 5ポイント6ポイント  (7子コメント)

i don't expect /u/sauron21 to respond, or at least in any meaningful way.

I'd appreciate at least ANOTHER mod to chime in. This is the kind of crap that is the source of a lot of the vitriol here.

Look through this thread, go through /u/Sauron21 's post history. Is that really how you want the thread and the RCS represented?

[–]ThisIsThunderclapLeader of Dragon Rejects 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

To be fair to them they did, you just can't see it unless you expand the comments downvoted below threshold.

[–]RIPGoodUsernames 34ポイント35ポイント  (56子コメント)

What happened to hulk here? Did I miss the explanation?

[–]johnsabossTh10 Lv127 TR3222 19ポイント20ポイント  (3子コメント)

Yeah? I want hulk back! We need new people (Ben was a good choice though).

As much as he is a scrub, I have to admit Ben isn't completly incompetent as a mod :P

[–]Ben189[M] 17ポイント18ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah what happened went to far and WILL not happen again otherwise there will be huge issues from all angles.

What should've happened was the original post been removed - for violating rule #1 - and a comment left explaining why. Then the post be left at that with no further action required.

Allowing it to explode into a load of drama was the error and that caused many more issues to arise.

Unfortunately it was done at 3am for me so.... I'm sorry I wasn't able to help the situation

[–]ThisIsThunderclapLeader of Dragon Rejects 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

You also could have just chosen to leave the post up, at which point 99% of the people viewing his video would have ignored the 10 seconds he took out of his 15 minute video about forms of cheating in clan wars to insult the RCS.

This would prevent the impression that you all just immediately remove any dissenting opinions, and the vast majority of the community wouldn't have known or cared what hulk said about the RCS.

    What is the policy on removing RCS clans due to low activity? Like, say, hypothetically, that a clan had only a dozen or so members, members of leadership who were inactive for the entire previous month, and a leader who only got online to donate a few troops per day. Should that clan still be in the RCS?

    Also, hypothetically, what if that clan was led by the head of the RCS? Would that be handled any differently?

    Still hypothetically, if that clan should be removed, that would mean the leader of that clan should no longer be involved in RCS or as a mod here, right?

    This is all purely hypothetical, of course.

    [–]HarmonyEDD2013-2014 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Shots fired. Hypothetically of course

    [–]KBowBow 15ポイント16ポイント  (6子コメント)

    You guys moderate a large and very active subreddit. With this, there is a large group of extremely varying opinions. As our leaders, you have a responsibility to foster open and honest discussion and to handle situations better than deleting things because somebody called you a nazi.

    The way I see it, you guys could more effectively monitor and shape public opinion and voice by being an active, positive presence and not by silencing people. We have a right to say what we want and you have the ability to remove us from your sub, but you have the responsibility to talk through issues and manage the rules with more maturity.

    On that note, I don't feel as if issues like this should be pushed back 2-3 weeks just because you only want to deal with this once a month. Public opinion took form and became deeply rooted when you guys brushed it under the rug for a different day.

    We could improve together if you present us with transparency in leadership and your decisions. Please consider handling issues in a more public way and with better response time.

    I am open to talk more about this in a calm manner as I would like to know the teams opinions and ideas. You guys have a tough job, but there are some really big simple things that could be fixed

    TL;DR if you don't want people calling you nazis, don't immediately prove them right by removing dissent. Maturity and openness are lacking in the mod team.

    [–]Sauron21[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (5子コメント)

    We will definitely work to improve towards interacting with the community on major decisions and with removing content. We're working on getting new mods on the team as some of the ones we have are really busy, so hopefully things will change.

    Thanks for your insightful feedback, wish there were more comments here like this one.

    [–]KBowBow 5ポイント6ポイント  (4子コメント)

    I appreciate you for taking all the heat early on. Unfortunately a large population in this sub is under 20 so meaningful feedback is sparse. I appreciate the way this thread was managed

    [–]Sauron21[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Meaningful feedback is sparse

    Ain't that right? I ask people questions in my comments, they ignore it and pick out the perfect line in my comments to complain about. It's kinda sad..If you go through my comment history, every time I asked what exactly I did wrong, it wasn't answered..Just downvoted, and manipulated..All my comments giving an apology were downvoted. Seriously, don't people get the point of a person apologizing and putting the issue aside?

    [–]KBowBow 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

    I believe that does come from faith in the mod teams ability to solve issues and the faith they have in you as leaders. If you guys can work on being more open with us and overall maturity and responsible handling of power this may fade away. Then again people may be dicks forever who knows. It's just worth a shot IMO

    This thread is a good start, but I believe this monthly thread should be used to address overall sub politics and the issues in todays thread should be addressed immediately to avoid the mess we are looking at today. Brushing stuff under the rug is never the best approach. Clear the air to get over it faster

    [–]Sauron21[S] -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Definitely something we can work on. However, there will always be people that complain.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Thanks for being receptive and reasonable. Good luck moving forward

    [–]AdminisitratorD3 - Knights of SRB 12ポイント13ポイント  (6子コメント)

    Couple of suggestions for mods

    1. For every post thats deleted, tell reason. e.g TIL tages them with rule # from side bar

    2. Have same standard for all posts. e.g this post was removed but this post wasn't. I asked a mod and she replied

      it could either be that it was taken as a picture of chat or because we have a lot of people trying to find loopholes for recruiting by posting all their clan info with these big achievements as a way to recruit on the sub.

    There wasn't much a difference between two and people post clan achievements all the time without removing name (e.g from today's hot page).

    I'm not complaing about my post removal. I just want mods to define rules, apply them equally to posts and give feedback to posts which break them so users can improve.

    [–]Asa37Your friendly neighborhood clasher 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Rule 1 that u suggested goes into your second rule big time, I really hope the mods don't ignore even though they will because they're power hungry.

    [–]Sauron21[S] -2ポイント-1ポイント  (4子コメント)

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I'll be sure to pass this suggestion to the other mods.

    [–]blastpower5I like chickensoup 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

    It's really sad you have to pass on the contents of this thread to the other mods. This is a chance for all the mods to communicate with the community and yet I only see you and Ben holding down the fort.

    [–]BoratkanReddit Invictus 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    That's how teams work, they pass information to each other in order to work together to fix the problems.

    [–]ThisIsThunderclapLeader of Dragon Rejects 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    So I get criticizing the mods for some things, but honestly, discussing a suggestion from a community member among themselves is what any sort of leadership structure should do.

    [–]blastpower5I like chickensoup 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I never said the mod team shouldn't discuss. Simply thought it was strange that 1 or 2 mods have to act as a courier for information to the rest of mods. Especially when that's not their assigned duties(for example Sauron, who works the CSS of the sub). Discussing is exactly what they should do, after each mod reads and understands the complaints and suggestions themselves.

    [–]HarryTheConMan 24ポイント25ポイント  (21子コメント)

    Every SOTS the RCS gets worse & worse. How do you plan to turn it around?

    I will never personally join a Reddit clan due to the issues I have read & seen for myself on /r/clashofclans & YouTube.

    [–]toastt_ghost 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

    dont let the mods talk for all of us.

    [–]Ben189[M] 12ポイント13ポイント  (7子コメント)

    We are working to improve the RCS and hope to implement some change soon

    [–]NorthKoreanJesusLeader 1ポイント2ポイント  (8子コメント)

    If you refuse to join a Reddit clan based solely off of what you hear, that's pretty foolish. It's a hasty generalization actually. I am not saying every clan is going to be your perfect fit, but I will say I have experienced a lot of Reddit clans that are fantastic. Their leaders are good, they push players' creativity and learning. Many organize events and scrims.

    Simply rejecting the idea of joining a reddit clan is your choice. I am sorry you feel that way.

    Edit: if you want to visit a reddit clan I'm sure many would be willing and open.

    [–]BoratkanReddit Invictus 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    RCS clans are amazing clans as far as I know and the drama on /r/clashofclans doesn't occur there. You should give them a chance!

    [–]regsvanlinks 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Yep same. Reddit clans tend to be very elitist, I've never understood why anyone would want to join them.

    Overall they have a negative affect on this subreddit.

    [–]BoratkanReddit Invictus 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    How little you know reddit clans and you're talking shit about them is sad..

    "Can we no longer post hulks videos?

    Can we not insult the mods in anyway?

    Where can feedback about a mod/mods be sent without fear of persecution?"

    [–]The_Black_Inside 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Sauron says:

    Can we no longer post hulk videos? Yes you can actually..

    Can we not insult mods in any way? You shouldn't outright insult anyone, why are mods any different? You can discuss any questions/problems you have through modmail or in a post in a civil manner.

    Where can feedback about a mod/mods be sent without fear of persecution? State of the Subreddit posts, or in modmail, as long as it's not too offensive. Mods are human beings too at the end of the day

    [–]Stranjer 6ポイント7ポイント  (8子コメント)

    So, speaking of Hulk (since a couple of people have already brought it up), I assume at least some of the mods saw his video from after the incident. In it he recommends doing away with unique mod IDs, and just having a few mod accounts just named "Mod1/Mod2" or something similar, since anytime a mod would post their opinion on their personal account it seems like it is coming across as the opinion of all the mods

    Have you guys given thought to that idea? The only real argument I see against it is some people might then go on to say mods are "hiding behind their anonymity"

    [–]Sauron21[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (7子コメント)

    We actually have talked about the idea, and that was one of the issues brought up. I'm actually not sure if we ever finished the conversation, but I might bring it up again.

    [–]Ben189[M] 4ポイント5ポイント  (6子コメント)

    Definitely an idea worth discussing

    [–]jkimtrolling 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Why aren't ideas being discussed here. "We'll consider that" is not a very engaging commentary

    [–]Ben189[M] 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Because this particular idea concerns the mods only

    Other ideas definitely should be openly discussed here if they concern the general community

    [–]fried-taters 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I think the point that he's trying to make is that it does affect and concern the general community.

    I'm a Wikipedia admin (albeit super inactive these last few years) - so I guess I'm just used to that transparency... Very little is done in private (yeah, I know, irc) - and normally even the most mundane policy decisions are done in public, normally made by the users. The admins are only there to enforce them.

    [–]Grand_Wizard_Juis 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I'd rather you guys stay as you are.

    [–]Nick_named_Nick 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Why not discuss it with the sub i.e "do you guys vote yay or nay for annonymous mods" in another stickied post, and letting us decide?

    [–]Rapey_ape 20ポイント21ポイント  (37子コメント)

    I feel like it would do this sub a lot of good to remove RCS from the picture. This is the clash of clans subreddit not the RCS subreddit. The sub would be a lot better without all of that drama.

    [–]Ben189[M] 15ポイント16ポイント  (17子コメント)

    You can never fully remove the RCS from this sub as the members are pretty active here. However giving the RCS no more air time than any other clan would be something I would seriously consider, particularly if it encouraged more traffic for /r/RedditClanSystem.

    It would make people happy that the RCS doesn't dominate this sub whilst also keeping the RCS happy that they can have their say and not be down voted to oblivion every time they post.

    It also would, as you say, reduce drama as people wouldn't get fed up at the RCS posts dominating the sub at times.

    Something the mods should be talking over

    [–]Rapey_ape 10ポイント11ポイント  (16子コメント)

    There is nothing wrong with members of RCS posting in the sub. What I am talking about is RCS cutting ties with this sub. Stop using sticky posts to advertise RCS exclusive events. And flairs for other clans aside from RCS and remove links in the sub to RCS.

    [–]Ben189[M] 8ポイント9ポイント  (15子コメント)

    Yeah the events aren't RCS only - like Reddit Champs contained a lot of non-RCS members but I know what you're saying and agree.

    The RCS has no special considerations/privileges on this sub.

    With flairs the issue is with custom badges, they're are just far too many to make them all - is there a solution to that?

    [–]Cullly 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

    they're are just far too many to make them all - is there a solution to that?

    That depends how it's done. There are 79 patterns, 12 backgrounds and 20 borders. Obviously 19k combinations would be too much... but would people really want generic flairs on there?

    The flair here works, but it's really really bland. How about a discussion between everyone to figure out a new set of flairs that could be used? I think just having generic pattern and "reddit alpha" as text after it is a waste. Why not have the generic reddit pattern as one flair and people can set "Reddit Alpha" as their flair text? I think automoderator also has something that can automate this (possibly not.. I'd have to check).

    Anyway.. I don't have a solution as such.. but I think if it's discussed between the subreddit, a cool flair system could be decided upon. I am willing to help out if needed on that.

    [–]Ben189 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Definitely can be discussed

    [–]PENGUIN_DICK 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

    The Automod on /r/gameofthrones sets flair for you.

    [–]Cullly 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    There's no way this sub would be able to do that. That's a custom made bot with a huuuuuge amount of work put into it. Not only that, it'd be difficult to find someone with that knowledge, let alone convince them to spend hundreds of hours making it.

    That sub is seriously impressive looking.

    [–]binarybanditColeader of Sagittarii, 24/7 wars, 179 wins 4ポイント5ポイント  (3子コメント)

    The RCS has no special considerations/privileges on this sub.

    Explain the RCS exclusive recruitment thread that happens every so often. I know there's one open to all clans that happens just as regularly (like now), but having one JUST for RCS is definitely special privilege.

    [–]ClashingJames 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

    There are also non-RCS recruitment threads. Imagine if there were only one recruitment thread every week. Non-RCS clans would have to compete with dozens of other RCS clans. If anything, that would hurt those clans more just by sheer number.

    [–]binarybanditColeader of Sagittarii, 24/7 wars, 179 wins 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Let them compete then. Giving RCS special privilege because "they're better" isn't a good reason.

    [–]Ben189[M] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Wasn't talking about now but possibilities to discuss for the future just to clarify

    [–]regsvanlinks -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

    The RCS has no special considerations/privileges on this sub.

    Except all the stickied RCS posts such as their recruitment posts? Why can't they keep it on their own subreddit?

    Edit: and you guys sometimes remove content which is critical of the RCS.

    [–]Ben189[M] 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    If you go back up the comment chain, I'm talking about the future and not the current state of affairs

    [–]Rapey_ape -3ポイント-2ポイント  (4子コメント)

    As far as the flair goes if no one is willing to update the flairs with clans that request to be added another flair system needs to be looked at. That's a lot of special treatment for RCS clans that have no "special privileges".

    The join a RCS clan link in the sub is a huge privilege and is a lot of special treatment.

    *Edit: spell check

    [–]Ben189[M] 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Yeah the RCS has privileges now, I'm talking about how to make it so they don't

    As for all the clans - that's a hell of a lot of special work and CSS which takes a lot of time unless someone can create a lot of templates for us

    [–]Rapey_ape 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

    I completely agree and understand it is ALOT of work. If clan names and badges are not feasible then it shouldn't be a flair option IMO.

    Right now those are the biggest things I think need to be looked at to Remove the RCS special treatment within the sub.

      Hi, mod of /r/hwya here.

      Why was the introduction to our sub removed? /u/TimeToGetPaid started /r/hwya because in /r/ClashOfClans the vast majority of posts marked [HWYA] go unanswered, and those who are lucky enough to be answered aren't done like they would be for a clan mate in a group chat for war.

      At /r/hwya, many of us draw out sketches (I don't draw 100% of them, but if I have the time I do, if I don't draw it out I tell them to tell me if they need a visual aid or not, and then I proceed to do it when I have the time)

      In the short time that we have created our sub, we made the UI look pleasing, added a few mods (we're currently looking for more if anyone reading this is interested, th9 3 star specialists are wanted!), and gained hundreds of subscribers.

      So my question to you, mods of /r/ClashOfClans, is this: Why won't you formally recognize our sub officially? The increased traffic to our sub would only benefit the clash community more. That's what you guys want, right? To help out your fellow clashers?

      Your move mods. We'll be waiting.

      [–]HarmonyEDD2013-2014 3ポイント4ポイント  (8子コメント)

      Why won't you formally recognize our sub officially?

      Because they didn't come up with it themselves and because you're not a member of the RCS plain and simple.

        [–]jimbo831 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

        People love memes. They can look, laugh, and upvote all in a couple seconds. It's a problem on any sub that allows memes that they dominate the front page because it doesn't take any time or effort to read and appreciate that content, while more interesting and in-depth posts require clicking through to the post, reading the text, and usually even reading some comments. This is why many subs choose to ban memes or even all link posts -- it encourages higher quality content.

        The people of this sub should never, ever get a "I'm too busy with IRL" answer to anything. This is a disservice to everybody here and especially the RCS; the rcs deserves more attention and any suggestion that is shot down because "it's so much work" or "we can't keep tabs on it" is so, SO cheap. And the condescension I and so many others have faced is downright disgusting.

        If you mod too many subs, step the fuck down if you're too busy

        If you're too busy IRL, get us new mods

        This might be a bit far but could you guys please warn/punish the asshats who comment "You should get a life" when someone has achieved something. They come to this sub just to insult those who have achieved something in clash. Isn't this sub for people who love the game?

        [–]Ben189[M] 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

        People like that we do look at their post history and act accordingly if it is all spam/negative

        However we won't get everything as there are so many comments on so many posts that we can't guarantee 100% success rate.

        Best bet if you feel someone is harassing others is to report them as then we are bound to look into it

        I think there is a lot of frustration around the perma-ban on meta posts and the large amount of time between the recurrence of this thread.

        I have more to say but I'll save my breath until we start to get actual responses

        whats your unpopular opinion on gemming?

        [–]RIPGoodUsernames 5ポイント6ポイント  (5子コメント)

        He likes Internet points, so he can't say. Duh.

        [–]SamsquamtchHunterFresh 8.5 6ポイント7ポイント  (4子コメント)

        If he answers I'd upvote him either way for being honest.

        Most of reddit seems to be of the opinion that gemming is fine, someones gotta pay to keep the game going right?

        I think most people understand that dumping some cash into a game you play this much is fine.

        Can't imagine what kind of crazy opinion on gemming he would have that would draw downvotes...

        [–]Flexidry_ 4ポイント5ポイント  (3子コメント)

        I don't like the idea that someone can gem they're way to the top and be considered good. I agree that gemming keeps the game going, I've been playing long enough to understand that, but when you say your #1 and we all know damn well you bought that base and its not legitimate. The only thing that really is, is their league.

        [–]SamsquamtchHunterFresh 8.5 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

        Yeah having a max base you purchased doesn't make you a good player, it still takes skill and experience to be effective in war.

        At the same time grinding your way to max TH10 also doesn't make you a good player. Anyone with enough time can do that.

        [–]wilhuebStimulatives (Reddit Lithium) -4ポイント-3ポイント  (1子コメント)

        I disagreed with your opinion but still upvoted your comment. Why? Because the down vote feature is for things that

        1. Don't contribute to the conversation. or
        2. Is negative/hateful.

        Your comment, even though people disagreed (I myself did), was just your opinion on the topic and was completely relevant to the post at which you commented on. This sub is absurd with the number of useless down votes on it.

        Ok for a real suggestion that isn't just (completely valid and reasonable) hate against the mods.

        Replace one of the useless and underused threads with a Meme day. Lots of people hate the memes here, lots other love them and want them to stay. No one posts in the farming thread, so how about replacing it with a weekly meme thread?

        It would only work if it was enforced though. Not all war posts are limited to Wednesdays and not all farming posts are limited to fridays... For memes this should be the case.

        [–]kattrinray 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

        We actually did a Meme Monday sticky thread a while back when we were first tackling the Meme situation. We banned memes from the sub and had a specific day to post them in the thread. It didn't go well. People rebelled and everyone who posted in the meme thread was downvoted all the while the State of the Subreddits were filled with people demanding memes again. We took a vote and the majority of the sub wanted memes back again. So here we are again.

        Yep. Made a comment the other day that when done right, gowipe has worked really well for me and my other mid-th8 clanmates. Of course, my opinion that is based on facts sucks! Downvote!

        [–]Cullly 2ポイント3ポイント  (9子コメント)

        People love to downvote GoWiPe thinking that their Golalavaholoon king walk setups are the only way to get 3 stars.

        GoWiPe primarily gets 2, but really depends on the base and/or if you bring backend troops to clean up.

        [–]alpha_armadilloOneHive 5ポイント6ポイント  (6子コメント)

        If you bring back-end troops, it's not GoWiPe anymore.

        [–]Cullly -1ポイント0ポイント  (5子コメント)

        So by that logic CB Laloon isn't Laloon?

        How you name things really depends since when most say "laloon", they mean CB or shattered. When people say "gowipe" it's usually straight gowipe with no backend...

        Different people "assume" different things by these naming ways.

        [–]alpha_armadilloOneHive 5ポイント6ポイント  (4子コメント)

        No, CB Laloon isn't LaLoon; it's GoLaLoon.

        GoWiPe with back-end hogs/loons is GoHo or GoLo.

        [–]TheMusketPrince 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

        Thank you! I told them I didnt use it all the time, and one person said "dont get into bad habits, gowipe is unreliable at th9." Made me want to punch him, if its working well for me now doesnt mean I always have to use it. Thats like telling a th6 not to use giant healer because it wont work at th8

        [–]Cullly 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

        GoWiPe works on huge open bases, or it works fantastically for getting to core for town hall and 50%. If you plan something for those few back defences, then it's a very legitimate 3 star strategy.

        The thing is.. some people say gowipe, but they actually mean GoHo or LoGoWiPe... At the end of the day it's the same just with a few extra things. That's why a lot of attacks are called "hybrids" these days as they are a mix of 2 different strats. Shatter Laloon is GoWiz plus LavaLoon for example.

        I do recommend building your army based on the base design rather than making any generic army and throwing it at whatever base 'suits'.

          I'm the CSS mod here, and a couple needed features wouldn't exist without my help..For example, the filters at the top of the subreddit. Actually, all the other mods are busy IRL, so without me this post wouldn't exist for users to share their complaints.

          Can we start having self post weeks or week days? He'll even switching to a self post sub would be nice and we might start getting better content the. "Look a 500k/500k/5k raid". And let's get rid of self praise posts as well. I'm find with all of the HWYA posts since that sparks some discussion but 13 of the posts on the front of the sub are all some form of self praising at the time of posting this. Something should change.

          I don't like the sub being filled with HWYA and HIMB threads nonstop. I have seen some dedicated subs for both of these questions and feel like it'd be nice to clear out some of the same old same old around here.

          Just a chiefs opinion

          [–]jimbo831 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

          I like HIMB and HWYA posts a lot more than screenshots of people hitting level 100, or having a 1 million loot raid, or finishing skulls, or stupid memes, and I see a lot more of those on the front page. If you force those things into another sub, less people will see them and participate. Why should we get rid of a type of post just because you don't like them? It's easy, use the filters or ignore them.

          This might be somewhat unpopular but I agree. I'm a casual player and I don't like commenting often because of the misuse of the system. This works well with /r/whowouldwin and a few others. And people who turn off the style sheet or using 3rd party browsers can still downvote so it's not ultra control. Please consider this mods!
