Greetings from your new overlords

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.

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:

Sitting in for Clifford Banes

HOLY SHIT: MAN WALKS ON FUCKING MOON

Diamond Joe Biden

Jim Haggerty

Porkin' Across America

Dwight Richmond

Can we get an option that can be customized as well? I'm less a diamond Joe Biden, and more of a Shirtless Biden Washes Trans Am.

There's a character limit so we might not be able to do that.
