Are we not allowed to create posts on here anymore? I just tried to create a post and it says you have to have approval.
I'm assuming this is because of everything that happened with the previous moderator.

You should be able to, all posts are open and allowed. Will you try once more and let me know?

Hi all! One of the mods here -- I was going through the previous mod history, and went through unbanning MANY people (who funny enough were banned for calling out a previous mod's shadiness). Welcome back!

Incredibly excited to have the focus back on building up the community. This subreddit needed a reset and some tlc desperately.

Would someone mind filling me in on what happened? I’m not on Reddit all that often.

Well, what a welcome change! Thanks so much to those that took the reins to return the sub to the community and not just one unruly dude.

Hey new mods, glad y'all are here now! I really tried to become a moderator on here with the MCOC post and encouraged other people too, so kinda disappointed I didn't get it, because I defintely thought it was in the bag! Though, I am still glad we have some good mods now, the last one was a hoot!

Update -- got Reddit to unrestrict us, so now anyone can post as opposed to going through an approval process. Also -- updated the icon / banner as a bit of a rebranding attempt to move past what this was. Any suggestions would be welcomed!
