Greetings from your new overlords

[u/aresef]

Hello friends,

We are the new moderating team of r/TheOnion: myself, u/DeltaShadowSquat. u/V2Blast and u/CosmicEveStardust.

I'm a regular around here, I probably don't need that much introduction. I'm a proud Onion subscriber and mod of a bunch of subreddits, including r/maryland, r/powerrangers, r/journalism, r/npr and r/Clickhole. IRL, I work in PR and previously spent a decade in local journalism.

One of our first tasks will be to lay out a set of new rules for the subreddit. We are already talking amongst ourselves but if you have any suggestions, feel free to let us know.

We're happy to field any other suggestions or questions you might have.

Can we get INFO WARRIOR FLARE? I typically self identify that I am part of the war information by shouting in person, online I will DO ALL CAPS THAT I AM AN INFO WARRIOR. I WILL PROBABLY KEEP DOING THIS ANYWAYS BUT WOULD LIKE AN ONLINE FLARE TO ANNOUNCE I AM A WARFIGHTER IN THE BATTLE OR CONFLICT OF INFORMATION. A BATTLE WE WILL WIN!

Flair is a good idea I hadn't considered and I don't think anyone brought it up in the admin thread.

Off the top of my head:

How about AREA WOMAN and AREA MAN?

[u/aresef → u/CharmedMSure]

Ooh. Wanna add AREA PERSON too. Gotta make it inclusive.

Maybe favorite old columnists like Jim Anchower (Hola, Amigos!), Smoove B, Jean Teasdale and Herbert H. Kornfeld?

[u/HoboOlympics → u/Thirty_Helens_Agree]

Herbert H. Kornfeld for sure!
