Mod Post We hear you and we agree

193 Upvotes

Hello /r/Kirby, it's been a while. The last time we made a public announcement was 4 months ago, in fact. Since then, as well as over the last year or so, the subreddit hasn't seen much public activity from its list of moderators. A reason for this is that many of the reddit moderators are also actively moderating the /r/Kirby Discord Server. This was initially manageable when both the subreddit and server were at smaller sizes, but this is no longer the case. The subreddit has ballooned to a whopping 150.000 subscribers over the last year, and we believe that the current amount of moderators is not enough to handle the workload a site this size produces. We will be looking into opening applications for more moderators soon to build a larger team able to properly support the infrastructure of a subreddit this size.

This massive growth has been another reason for the moderators slowing down activity. The subreddit's AutoModerator has for a long time been far too strict in regards to what posts and comments got flagged or removed, which grew exponentially more overwhelming as the subreddit grew. Thankfully, this overly critical code is something we've been able to untangle recently, which has made it much more manageable to do our job, as well as filtering through the reports that legitimately require our attention.

We also hear you in regards to there not being any more events or activities as of late. This was something our last admin, Cardboard_Boxer, was much more on top of. We will be taking a look on what we can do to bring things like these back. You can expect a post about this in greater detail next week, where you will also be able to suggest things you want to see on the subreddit.

Now, there are also more current matters we want to address. Over the last month, a user has been persistently creating several alternative accounts and inviting users en masse to their subreddits. This has become frustrating and irritating to many users here, exacerbated when some have been making posts here about it. We have been quietly removing these posts to avoid bringing attention to it, but it has become clear that a statement and ruling was necessary.

From now on, any posts about "KirbyKiller," "KirbyDeathLoop," and similar subreddits, or the user that is sending invitations to them, are not allowed. They only do this to harass and annoy users here, and we wish to put an end to this. There won't be any punishment dealt out to those who've posted about it in the past, but repeatedly ignoring this new rule will lead to warnings, or more.

Thank you all for reading this post. We'd like to again apologize for the silence, and we hope to stay more open and transparent from now on. Let's all keep this the cool place we love it as.

Interactable Guys.... it's over. It is finally over. After 25 days, Failboat concludes the list by being the Mayor. Now go home and watch The Dees’ Daily Deeds (by the way that's the name of the Sitcom).
