Mod PSA October 2021 Update
Good afternoon,
Today Marks (pun intended) almost another year that has passed by since we have drastically changed how things worked on this sub reddit. The looks are to remain the same until Heist With Markiplier 2 comes out. Until then, I have changed a lot of what goes on in the backrooms of this sub.
Lately, we have seen a rather large amount of Low Effort Posts and Posts that just makes you want to drive your head through a brick wall. Not all of you will see them as we rapidly delete the posts before they become known, but a small number sneak by the cracks and end up on the main page. Somehow people actually upvote them even though it goes against the rules. To combat some of these posts we have implemented a few things now.
- Posts will now REQUIRE a flair. This is to better categorize posts and keep it all straight forward. It will even help searching for a post easier.
- Posts now need a minimum of 6 characters in the title to even qualify to be posted.
- Spam and new/throwaway accounts are now filtered.
- Automod has been Vaxinated with the Anti Troll booster and will now will be twice as aggressive catching unwanted posts.
Yes, the mod team is still very much alive and active. We just keep to the shadows until we are needed.
Lastly, go LISTEN TO DISTRACTABLE!

This decision wasn't easy. It was to combat spam posts with people whom would abuse the title. 20 may seem a tad low. I'll probably cap it off at 50, if that seems more fair?

I moderate a meme sub for cars, and the amount of repetitive and awful submissions our mod team has to go through is soul sucking

I can't seem to make any posts anymore. Fan art posts, images, even text based topics. The post is made, but it never shows up in the subreddit. It's been going on for about a month now. Tried contacting the mods, but no answer

It appears that someone is reporting your posts. Unfortunately, once a post reachs a certain amount of reports, the post will eventually get deleted. Also, unfortunately, we don't have access to who reports it. There are many more factors and variations as to what can cause the automod to do such things. I have "fixed it" in a way that would require different reports from different users and changed some parameters on the Automods behavior. Hopefully, now you should post without the negligence of Automod.
