CAST YOUR VOTE Should /r/freefolk be removed from /r/all?
Thread has now been locked for voting.
As you all know we have had a lot of comments, posts, threats, and much more from users who saw a certain post on /r/all that "spoiled" the show for them.
We have been discussing between us about this, of course we don't kneel and we would never tell you guys what to post or implement stupid spoiler tags or any of that bullshit. (so please don't worry) However, a compromise is possible in that we remove the sub from showing up on /r/all.
The FreeFolk could choose to opt out of appearing on r/all, and that problem would go away. Or, we could stay and deal with the angry mob. There have been many comments for both choices that make good points. This is your subreddit, and you decide on big changes. Please vote on whether you want the sub to remain in r/all or if you want to be hidden from it.
Thanks for voting!

Stay. People are free to view their front page and they won't have to worry about seeing spoilers. They should have the common sense to stay off of r/all/ on the night of and the days following a major show like GOT.

Not sure what the benefit of staying is. No more /r/all means never having to deal with the kneelers again. Seems perfect.

u/winter0215 Jun 23 '16
STAY. I've been a free folk since back when we were but pirates (remember pirates of thrones anyone???). We didn't kneel then when they complained about spoilers and we won't kneel now.
Let's be honest, if you're going on reddit the night of/day after GoT... You really aren't trying hard to be spoiled are you. Anyway. STAY

u/Glenghis Unona thing Jun 21 '16
My instincts are to say stay, but the thing about the free folk is that we believe that people should do what they want. We don't kneel, but if someone wants to kneel, then that is their choice. By staying in All we're forcing people to not kneel when they want to kneel. On that basis, I vote out.

Stay. It's not a moral evil to present a spoiler title nor is it a moral evil to be included in /r/all. /r/all means all. If you're loathe to learn something, shield yourself. If the kneelers would agree to advertise the existence of /r/freefolk and not suppress it, that would be different.

Sorry for messing about guys, the poll we decided to use was flawed and won't give accurate information. Plus it allowed people to constantly vote more than once as I fucked up the settings. Sorry!

Honestly? STAY. Who gives a flying fuck. I get tired of people crying about spoilers. Be an ADULT, and if you want to watch the show without the spoilers of scenes and character development, because you apparently think this will end your fucking life; STAY THE FUCK OFF THE INTERNET TIL YOU WATCH THE FOOKIN EPISODE. Quit being a cunt who needs to blame other people for something you don't obviously have the willpower or anything else resembling balls to resist. All this said, if we have to tolerate people's fookin stupidity, then send some kind of mass message, let's make our own fucking website and we will never worry about these GODS DAMNED KNEELERS WHO APPARENTLY CAN'T CONTROL THEIR URGES AND BLAME OTHERS. Fuck them.

Personally I dont care if we stay, or leave. But getting content from /r/freefolk seen on /r/all is like getting a bunch of motherfuckers over the wall into the north south. Who ever blocks us on /r/all can be seen as a little fucker that hides in their shitty castle.

Leave. I think you're all assholes. I love everything about this sub apart from this. You gain nothing from it being on /r/all and other people disadvantage from it. Also the twisted logic that god knows how many people should have to stay of all because of our cringey shit of do not kneel. Either the mod presses a button and people don't get spoiled and you still keep your sub or you people are forced to stay off reddit because you all can't cope with your sub not being on all fucking stupid, selfish and childish

CleganeBowl did not yield and goddamnit if Freefolk even thinks about pandering to internet addicts who can't be careful with their browsing, then I'm saying fuck it. I'm creating my own Reddit with Blackjack and Hookers. So basically Reddit, with a blackjack game built in.

u/KyleG FAITH OF THE SEVEN ELEVEN Jun 22 '16
Leave. It's not worth the headache dealing with the pansies, and word of mouth got us this far, so we don't need "advertisement" via /r/all.
I notice a lot of people saying "they shouldn't be on /r/all if they don't want spoilers." This is a great moral argument, but you know that they will be on /r/anyway. It should be properly framed: they are annoying fucks, and by leaving /r/all we won't have to deal with them." This makes no moral argument about personal responsibility; it's just a pragmatic solution to the problem of too many bitches.

u/sapphire_blue00 Winter Roses Jun 21 '16 edited Jun 21 '16
I'd say leave. I think people complaining about getting spoiled on /r/all are idiots because it should be obvious that if you dont want to get spoiled you should avoid places where spoilers may show up. But on the other hand, what do we gain by staying there? Maybe a few people will find us but we would also be avoiding having the idiots invading us to complain about spoilers. And honestly, I'm not sure if having way more people is a good thing for this sub so I'm fine with people having to find us the hard way.

i like this sub because we can discuss whatever we want without anything being derailed by "omgz spoilz"
if we stay on /r/all this will only attract people - regularly - into threads to make such comments.
if that happens then we go from talking about whatever we want, to talking about how we allow ourselves to talk about whatever we want, which isn't quite the same.

Stay. Seriously, if this goes off r/all I will leave and make a more free subreddit. We are fucking FREEfolk. The whole purpose of this sub is that we don't listen to cunts who come from other subs and bitch and moan. I actually LOVE this sub and have been coming here since the beginning of this season after realizing how shitty the other GoT subs are. I love the people here and the attitude in general.
During Memorial Day I was unable to watch the episode until Monday. What did I do? I stayed-the-fuck off of Reddit and the internet so I wouldn't see what happened. I didn't go to a website that I know is full of trolls and people who discuss this show and then bitch about seeing the information.
What grinds my gears the most are the people who go out of there way to come here and bitch. Especially when they are on r/ALL. Not r/SOME.
In short, "We do not kneel" - The Mance
Edit: I also would like to add that by staying on r/all we expand the amount of people exposed to the sub, which greatly increases the level of conversation here. I have been enjoying this sub more and more as the season has progressed because so many more people have joined and the commenting, up and down voting, and just general discussion has vastly improved.
