Announcement YouTube links & Crossposts are now banned in r/GetMotivated

158 Upvotes

The mod team has decided that YouTube links & crossposts will no longer be allowed on the sub.

There is just so much promotional YouTube spam and it's drowning out the actual motivational content. Auto-moderator will now remove any YouTube links that are posted. They are usually self-promotion and/or spam and do not contribute to the theme of r/GetMotivated

Crossposts are banned for the reason being that they are seen as very low effort, used by karma farming accounts, and encourage spam, as any time some motivational post is posted on another sub, this sub can get inundated with crossposts.

So, crossposts and YouTube links are now officially banned from r/GetMotivated

However, We encourage you to Upload your motivational videos directly to the subreddit, using Reddit's video posting tool. You can upload up to 15-minute videos as MP4s this way.

Thanks, Stay Motivated!

Announcement How to obtain a GetMotivated rank

11 Upvotes

Hi all, it is fairly simple to obtain a rank. Commenting 50+ times in a month (on getmotivated) with a comment karma of 100+ will get you a 1star rank flair. My reason for this requirement is to encourage discussion within this subreddit.

2star ranks and above will depend more the quality and consistency of posts, for example maintaining a weekly post, and also interacting with the mods for subreddit improvements.

There are 4 ranks: 1star, 2star, 3star and wolf. Reaching a wolf rank will come with the offer of a moderator position.
