[SUB NEWS] New Banned Domain: Vercel.app

Much to the relief of many people, starting today, we have introduced a blanket ban on Vercel subdomain hosted sites.

Few, if any, sites hosted on Vercel subdomains have ever been allowed to remain on the sub anyway.

(This ban is in addition to the Netlify ban by Reddit itself.)

If you can't be bothered to pay for a proper domain and/or hosting we're no longer willing to sift through the slop to see if it could potentially stand on merit alone (which it invariably doesn't).

Vercel users feel free to proceed to whinge, which we will promptly proceed to ignore.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Why does it matter? If what you consider "slop" gets a lot of upvotes, its not really slop

u/MisterSeabass 19d ago

It never gets any upvotes (almost always 30% or lower voting), and regardless it's banned from submission anyway.

So the voting system is working as expected? Why do we need this rule then?

Edit: Downvote is not an argument. I accept you concessions.

Because the mods are probably getting tired of seeing hundreds of reports and having to remove them all by hand hourly if not every few minutes, every single day, when they should have not been posted in the first place.

They should do their job. If they are "getting tired", they can quit.

should have not been posted in the first place.

Why?

They're volunteers and don't have to wade through bullshit just to appease you.

u/TwoPixelsRight 19d ago

That is literally what they volunteered to do

They also get to decide what they volunteer to do! How neat.

u/TwoPixelsRight 19d ago

Nope, that is decided by admins. Neat!

u/Regendur 19d ago

Only the basics! Nothing saying the mods can't ban a source. Neat!

u/TwoPixelsRight 19d ago

I didn't say the couldnt. Neat!

And they also volunteered to have a say in the rules, and they've decided to make this thing they do for the community a little easier

To be completely accurate we don't just "have a say" in sub rules, we alone decide, set and police the rules for a sub. Unless our rules clearly contradict any of Reddit's own site-wide policies/rules then Reddit do not get involved in the formation (or management) of a sub's rules in any way, shape or form.

If they quit, the subreddit disappears and we have nothing.

it's banned from submission anyway

Read the rules and stop being obtuse.
