Meta PSA: Stop posting fake links or screenshots to the alleged new album.

711 Upvotes

We've gone through this once with DAMN. and it looks like you guys have forgotten our rules. If I see any posts that are the fake iTunes screenshots or fake links to the new album, including those hilarious Rick Astley posts that abuse the [FRESH] tag, you will be subject to ban. If you see any of these posts please use the report function. Thanks!

Meta [META] Official Flair Request Thread

49 Upvotes

First off, I just want to thank you guys on behalf of the mod team for being such an amazing community and for spreading awareness of the sub. We have more than tripled in size in less than a month, which is incredible. Keep being awesome!


Flairs

With DAMN. dropping and the influx of new users, I feel it’s an appropriate time to put up another Flair Request Thread. Some obvious ones like the DAMN. cover and Kendrick’s smiling face from the Coachella performance will be added, but I wanted to give you guys a chance to suggest the flairs you want to see.

Keep in mind, depending on the amount of submissions, we might not be able to add all of your suggestions. Hold on to them for the future though. Please make sure to upvote the suggestions you like, so we can prioritize.

Linking specific images is really beneficial in allowing me to see what exactly you want. If you have a specific image in mind, please leave a link to it below!


Housekeeping

Also a couple of housekeeping things:

  1. Filters: Some of you might have noticed that Filters are now available in the sidebar. With this feature you can now sort the content in the sub by link flair, and see submissions that specifically apply to that link flair.

  2. Link Flairs: With the addition filters, I’ve decided to open up Link Flairs for the public, to allow you guys to be able to add Link Flairs to your submissions. This makes it easier for posts to be categorized and makes the filters more effective. Please make use of the flairs, but make sure to use them appropriately. Repeated misuse of the flairs will be subject to ban, and if multiple users are misusing them I will revoke these privileges. It’s not something I would like to do since I think this will be a good addition to subreddit, so please be respectful and make the most of it.

  3. Subreddit Style On/Off: I’ve gotten multiple requests for the ability to turn on/off the Subreddit Style. You can now find this option at the bottom of the sidebar, just below the list of moderators.

  4. Users Here in the Sidebar: With the Addition of KenFolk as the designation for our subscribers, we’ve gotten a couple of requests to do something with the "(279 here)" right now in the sidebar. If you have any ideas for that drop them below!


As always, If you guys have any ideas/concerns/questions let us know. All the best!

Meta As big as this sub is, there is something missing.

173 Upvotes

Where’s the list of every K.dot song recorded? I thought I had all of them (all his mixtapes and albums), but i’m on soundcloud right now and i’m hearing songs i’ve never heard before (Last Real Nigga Alive). I looked around for a giant download or post about all his music, but I can’t find anything. We all need to work together and make a giant list of every feature and song kendrick recorded. Even if there is some list out there, let’s make our own and have it stickied. Who’s with me?

Meta PSA: On Snippets and Leaks

96 Upvotes

Posting snippets is fine and encouraged, but please make sure to use the spoiler tag, even for posts where you are just discussing the snippet or asking for other user's thoughts on them. A lot of people do not want to hear anything from the album before it is released, so please respect that.

All leaks (full album or full song, etc) need to be verified and approved by moderators before being posted. Please take the time to message us with the leak and a source. We get a lot of spammed leaks that are usually just old loosies pulled together, or worst case scenario, viruses etc. Posting leaks without verification will result in temporary bans. Thanks!

Meta [Meta] "r/ confirmed humble" & songinfo posts

66 Upvotes

I've been seeing an excessive amount of both of these types of posts for some time now and wanted to reach out to you guys on how you feel about them.

"r/ confirmed humble":

I think these were cool in the beginning, but they have gotten very excessive/repetitive. We get about 3 a day and they don't really encourage any sort of discussion or really add anything to the sub other than, 'hey look kendrick showed up somewhere else' and people discussing whether it should be confirmed humble/sexy/wavy etc.. Kendrick is big, he sold 600k+ units first week, it's not surprising that he shows up in other subs. Especially how big this sub has gotten, a lot of these posts are probably by users subbed to here. I don't really see the point of reaffirming this. This is just my opinion on it and I wanted to ask you guys before banning them outright or something. But like come on, we've gotten to a point where yall are posting my comment on a different sub for it lmao.

songinfo:

Again this takes me back to the Spotify thing, where everyone was posting their top 50s. This time it hasn't been as excessive, but I still don't really see the appeal of these posts, other than reaffirming that he is one of your favorite artists. Should we maybe make a designated thread where people can share these screenshots with each other and leave a link in the DDTs for it.

Overall, I just wanted to touch base with you guys and see how you feel about these two things. It's sometimes hard to gauge just on upvotes/comments alone.


Also new flairs are coming. I know it's been a long ass time since I made the request thread. I've just been really busy and haven't had time, I apologize, but the flairs will be here soon! If you have any other ideas/concerns/suggestions for/about the sub let us know. All the best!

I've noticed the sub has been lacking in the flair department, so this is your chance to request flairs you would like to see on the sub. They can be anything from artwork, pictures of Kendrick, TDE stuff, and etc.; as long as they relate to the sub of course.

Meta Thoughts on permanent polls for frequently asked questions in the sidebar?

74 Upvotes

Feels like every other day I see a new post asking...

  • What's your favorite Kendrick album?

  • Whats your favorite track from album X?

  • What's your favorite Kendrick feature?

  • What's the most underrated Kendrick song?

In my opinion, these posts flood the subreddit with content already discussed to death. If you're interested in what others think, you could simply do a quick search and read literally dozens of answers to those questions.

I assume some people make new posts because they want to express their opinion - which brings me to my suggestion:

If we had ongoing polls for those frequently asked questions, everyone would be able to express their opinion on these matters. As a bonus, we'd eventually have more representative results because of the larger data set.

And of course, this change would merit for new rules preventing or at least regulating posts related to the polled questions. That alone would do much to declutter the subreddit, making room for more original content.

Thoughts?

But yeah this is a completely different artist who's album Google misidentifies as Kendrick's. Please stop posting about it.

Meta New daily song thread - Announcement

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone, a few days an idea come to my mind and I would like to know what you think about.

Everyone here is waiting for a new single/album, me included ofc, so I thought, why don't we make a daily post with a different song/feature name in the title (by kendrick) and start a discussion/thoughts about the song from it?

I think it could be helpful to entertain the sub nowadays.

If you have a collection/file with all kendrick songs and featurings (just the titles), let me know, that could really help for doing this.

Also, what do you think about a weekly thread titled "new music" where everyone can recommend music from kendrick or other rappers/artists?

Let me know what you think,

Have a nice day :)

Meta [META] Updated Rules on Leaks

3 Upvotes

Hi KenFolk,

After a lengthy discussion among the Mod Team, we have decided to firm up our stance on leaks and will no longer permit them to be posted on the subreddit, in accordance with newly created Rule 11.

Posting leaks on the subreddit are not permitted. This includes, but is not limited to, offering and requesting leaks.

Allowing leaks to be posted puts the subreddit in danger of potentially being shut down by administrators. We do not want this to happen and have to put the best interests of the subreddit first.

Discussion of leaks, of course, will be still be allowed on the subreddit. Just please do not post or offer or ask for leaks. There are plenty of ways to find them outside of the subreddit.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Best,

Mod Team

  • pgLang
  • Reason
  • Zacari
  • SiR
  • Lance Skiiiwalker
  • retOne
  • Kal Banx
  • Willie B
  • Baby Keem x Kenny

Let me know if you guys have any more flair suggestions or just suggestions for the sub in general. We've been a bit more lenient on posts these last few months because Kenny just hasn't given us a lot to talk about, but some good ideas were brought up in this thread on ways to improve the sub we can consider implementing. Always open to hearing more ideas.

Hey guys,

I know this has been long over due, but the flairs are finally here! I'm really sorry for taking so long. I have been busy IRL and haven't had access to a computer for months. 17 new flairs have been added! Check them out and let me know what you think.

Since it took me so long to do them and we've had a good amount of new members join the sub, I'll still be taking flair requests for a few days, so if you have anything in mind feel free to pm me or just drop a comment here.


Feedback

Outside of that, I wanted to open this thread up for any general feedback you may have for myself or the mod team in general. Anything about the sub you would like to see changed/added etc. Do you guys like the CSS? Do you use the sub on desktop much? Any type of threads/content you'd like to see? I've given free reign to our Survivor guys to make interactive threads, but if you have any ideas let me know.


Wiki

I'm also still looking to update the Wiki. If you have some time and would be interested in helping out then let me know. I can pay you with my eternal love and maybe some custom flairs!


As always, love you guys and sorry for neglecting y'all, I'll be a lot more active in the sub! <3
