[META] List of Banned Posts on this sub

Why is Juxtaposition rule 10 and not on the banned post list?
13
u/conalfisher Dec 09 '17
Because it's such a common occurrence that it's better for it to be a rule. Same reason rule 5 is there. Also, Rule 10 predates the banned posts list.

I'm not saying remove it from the rules, I'm saying also put it on the list

I know, I just think it'd be a bit redundant, to have it on both lists. If you take the time to actually check the common posts before posting (which, lets face it, barely anybody will), you'll probably have read the rules on the sidebar as well.

u/conalfisher, think we can add fused/mispackaged/mislabeled food to this? Some days it feels like half the submissions are "My wheaties got stuck together", "I got a green goldfish in my back of normal ones", or "My bag of strawberry candy got the label for a variety pack"

You allow trickshots, which take practice and "good aim", but you won't allow dart throws?
What's your logic behind that?

Eggs with multiple yolks?

You'd be surprised at how common they are. Usually if you find one of them, there's going to be others in the box. Same reason why you find four leaf clovers near eachother, because they are genetically likely to produce clovers with four leaves or more.

It’s kinda dumb that dart on dart throw posts are banned. I’d like to see the mods even attempt to do this even with years of practice.

Thaw mostly sound like things that would fit better on the mildlyinteresting or oddlysatisfying subs

Is there a list of approved sources? I just tried to add this story, but it was auto-removed under rule 6.

u/conalfisher Mar 18 '18
I don't believe there is actually, we'll get to doing that once the redesign is all said and done. The sources I know are allowed from memory are imgur, gfycat, the Reddit domains (i.reddit, v.reddit, etc.), vid.me, streamable, and flickr. Anything that isn't one of those (or one that I've forgotten) are automatically removed by Automod.
Also, sorry, but that event has already been posted on the sub, so it'd be removed regardless.

If you guys could get on that stephen hawking repost shit, that would be great. It's the only fucking thing on the sub right now. Nobody is bothering to check if it's already been posted, so they're all spamming the same fucking thing 500 times. Not going to individually report 500 reposts.
It really looks like the only things that get posted here are rule 1, rule 3, rule 4, rule 5, and rule 10. I think I've seen ONE sub-worthy post in the past month.

Honestly it would be better to just let people post what interests them to this sub, as long as it pertains to the sub. You’re not saving puppies or stopping terrorists by sorting what types of posts you guys want on this sub.

u/conalfisher Mar 12 '18
We try to get the best content we can on the sub. Several of the things in that list cake from people complaining about certain types of posts. These weren't just things we decided were bad and shouldn't be allowed in the sub. Plus, when you get 6 posts per day of people robin hooding an arrow, you begin to question how rare it actually is. That was the case for most of these things, and it's been quite well received by the community.

Thats ths whole point of unvote and downvote no?

u/conalfisher Jun 03 '18
If all of Reddit was decided by upvotes and downvotes, every sub would be terrible. You can downvote spam and crappy posts, but they're still there, and some stupid people will still upvote them, and you'll still see them.

Screenshots of similar posts in the same newsfeed should be banned, imho.

They are. Rule 10.

True, I guess I answered my own statement as soon as I wrote it. I guess I was just annoyed with a few of them just this morning.
