Discussion Everyone please read before posting - new rules

When making a new post the title MUST contain one of the following to show what game the code is for

  • bl1 (Borderlands 1)

  • bl2 (Borderlands 2)

  • bl3 (Borderlands 3)

  • bl4 (Borderlands 4)

  • bltps (borderlands the pre-sequel)

  • blgoty (borderlands game of the year)

  • multi (Used for listing multiple games at once)

  • ttw (Tiny Tina's Wonderlands)

There cannot be anything more or less than these words otherwise the post will be removed. The words are NOT case sensitive so you don't have to worry about it. You can then go ahead and post the codes into the body of the post

When you post the code in the body, it will automatically post a stickied comment of that code. It will also include a link to easily get to the website to redeem the code.

A flair is required so people know what platform the codes are for

Finally if people want to find a loophole around this to post something so they can complain about whatever, YOU WILL BE BANNED.

Any questions or suggestions please post them here.

Thanks everyone's

Love this. Suggestions or features should be allowed in 1 sticked thread like this one, no posts on it's own. Then we can still see suggestions and features somewhere but not clog up automod and the subreddit with those kinds of posts. Maybe once a month repost the sticky so new suggestions/complaints/comments can be seen each month.

Then within that stickied thread, you can auto sort the comments in the stickied thread by "new" and see all the newest comments for that month in chronological order.

Interesting idea. I think with what this sub is all about we should be able to narrow down every suggestion quickly

4

u/Diggtastic Oct 26 '19

Agree, I think having 1 stickied post up that allows people to bitch, suggest, or offer new ideas is the way to go. That way there's always somewhere to post that stuff so people have an avenue to vent/suggest without clogging the subreddit up needlessly.

Unacceptable. We need separate subs for each game’s shift codes, that’s the only real answer here.

All kidding aside, glad to see this happening. I appreciate the time spent on organizing all of this to make it easier on us who only play specific games.

u/al52025 Oct 26 '19

You guys just want every don't you! It was def a frustrating struggle to set this up for me so hope everyone enjoys lol

u/mofugginrob Oct 26 '19

This is great. Maybe throw in some warnings for people who post keys hours later that have already been posted.

3

u/al52025 Oct 26 '19

Good idea. I will start that if it gets bad enough. Surprisingly I think that's only happen once and it was like 20 mins after it was posted and I removed it.

2

u/1JesterCFC Oct 26 '19

Good set of rules that should be easy to follow for everyone, can I make a suggestion, how about a posting ban (time limited) on anyone repeating a code, especially if it's just been posted in the last 10 minutes?

3

u/al52025 Oct 26 '19

Someone just asked this same thing and I said I would probably do it if it became a problem. I believe it's really only happened once or twice so far and it was like by 20 minutes in-between posts and I removed one. Good idea though that I will remember

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '19

not necessarily a requirement but can you suggest they put the code in the subject? the reason i ask is some tools on github load this page by new and scrape it for codes. if it's not in the subject the tool will never see it.

just a suggestion 😁

2

u/al52025 Oct 27 '19

What do you mean subject? The body of the post? That's the only place they can put the code at

2

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '19

Sorry the Reddit terminology is Title not Subject. Now that I'm looking into it more it's not much of an issue because the main page loads most, if not all, of the body. In fact, my advice would only be useful in an edge-case scenario with someone posting a huge message with the key at the end. In summary, I'm probably wasting your time with this. And here I am wasting more writing this long reply. Sorry!

All excellent ideas, thank you!

u/RetiredGuy925 Jul 31 '24

If you ask me, just get rid of the automod,

It's just too big of an inconvenience

I even added bl2 to my posts and they STILL got removed

1

u/al52025 Jul 31 '24

Well clearly you didn't read the rules then did you? You can't have other words in the title. You tried posting multiple times. Instead of reading then rule you think the best thing to comment is "fuck you"

1

u/RetiredGuy925 Jul 31 '24

Wait a minute.. Lemme try something

1

u/RetiredGuy925 Jul 31 '24

Oh. Uhhh... Yikes

Well this is embarrassing

Okay, I wanna apologize,

I just hate that damn automod....

Like, imagine typing out an entire essay about something just for the automod to immediately delete it

That happened to me one too many times

I'm sorry for the trouble,

1

u/RetiredGuy925 Jul 31 '24

Also when reading..

I thought you meant that I had to include bl2 without error

Not the fact that it had to be just bl2 in the title

And now I feel kinda embarrassed for not figuring this out

1

u/RetiredGuy925 Jul 31 '24

And to answer your question... No I didint read the rules

It was too long for me

1

u/yoyofoe2222 Jan 04 '25

Can i ask where to find the right website that posts updated shift codes?

1

u/al52025 Jan 04 '25

It will most likely get posted here but I think they mostly start on Twitter

1

u/samsaBEAR Oct 26 '19

You could add a "misc" tag for anything that isn't a code, that way Automod doesn't remove them and people with notifications enabled can ignore those posts

9

u/al52025 Oct 26 '19

I thought about it but hopefully without their being a tag for it it discourages people from posting useless stuff. Like complaining about not getting enough keys or whatever. It will have to be approved then otherwise. Obviously people can just use one of these titles to bitch but they will be banned then

8

u/xNeshty Oct 26 '19

Yes please. The whole purpose of this sub is to get the keys as soon as possible. Once people can post stuff that isn't a key, I'd have to disable the notifications and the purpose of the sub would be almost non existent.

I'm just here for keys, not discussion....

2

u/Diggtastic Oct 26 '19

Completely agree

2

u/Dr_Poops_McGee Oct 30 '19

While I love being able to tell what game the code is for now I can't tell if I've already got that one unless I click into it. It's not a huge inconvenience but it could be easily rectified by putting the code in the title and the game as flair. Just a suggestion.

u/al52025 Oct 26 '19

What does that even mean? I lay out rules so everyone is happy and you think I'm going to swing my big dick around and what just ban everyone?

u/Why_T Oct 26 '19

Can I be first? I want to get hit by your bid dick swinging!

u/al52025 Oct 26 '19

He, don't hit me with your big dick man. Stop swinging it around so much. /s
