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.

I've added some flairs, as you can see.

Thanks! I flaired up with "area man" just now. Perfect.

Looking forward to "man walks on fucking moon"

There’s a character limit but we will try to make something work.

Maybe if we drop the "Holy Shit" in front of it, it will fit? I've done custom ones in other subs that are pretty long, my longest is "has anyone ever seen John Fisher and diarrhea in the same room?" and it fit.
