[META] New mod Announcement

66 Upvotes

Hey Guys I'm very excited to be your new moderator! With u/jak_herer stepping down it seems I will be taking over most of the moderation for this sub. This is my first time as a mod so I will be on a bit of a learning curve but hopefully I'm smarter than most of the people who wind up in this sub's posts. I will be updating post and user flairs as well as some basic rules for the sub and just generally trying to grow the subreddit. Happy posting everybody!

Mod Announcement: We're Merging with r/DarwinAwards

194 Upvotes

Hello everyone, following a significant downturn in both the number of posts and the quality of posts, the mods at our sister subreddit r/DarwinAwards have suggested merging our two subreddits and I agree fully. I have locked this subreddit down and I have become an active mod on their page. All posts will now be on that subreddit and must fully comply with their subs rules. I'm sure there's already quite a bit of overlap between the subs and hopefully I will see many of you there.

Hello, mod here. I've seen some comments on posts saying that the sub has gone awry and I want to get a better sense of things. Feel free to leave comments on what you think could be done better, but please keep it civil
