Clean-Up

To anyone real who's still subscribed to this sub,

I've just joined the clean-up crew and I've got some big ideas ready to implement here. What you see now will be completely different in a few weeks and this sub will hopefully spring to life as everything is taken care of (one of these things is the awful CSS template).

Recently there's been a culling of "users" (bots and foreign spammers) that have a track-record of submitting useless and shit content. Though I haven't gotten all of them, only the most recent ones, this sub needs your help (see: reports) to keep it clean. Most times you can spot these fake accounts by their large Link-to-comment karma (exceptionally large link karma, but almost no comment karma) or their nonsensical and hard to read writing (most likely a bot or a foreign account booster). If you see anything that you suspect as spam, do report it. Reporting takes around 2 seconds and a big yellow "Reports: # [Reason]" shows up next to the thread (and if applicable, comment). If everyone does this, the sub's quality will instantly be improved.

Submitting links has been disabled (re-enabling will be discussed) because it's majorly used by bots and has no real upside to instead paste the link in a regular text post. Content guidelines are going to be drawn up and enforced to keep good content creators in, and shit ones out. The sidebar will be redone, the theme will be changed, more mods will be added, and a system to distinguish experts from novices (as well as good posts and bad) will be enacted. But my ideas are my own, if you have any that you think would help improve this sub, do share. Input from the community is always welcome and helpful to streamlining this whole process.

Stick around,

Tl;dr - Sub's getting an overhaul, expect good things to come. Use the fucking report button on spam, because it's everywhere. If you have suggestions post them.
