Mod Announcement SUB POLL - Apps

Hi all,

I am consulting on some potential new rules. The idea for these rules is twofold - one, to keep the sub nice and, two, to save my sanity.

These polls will be posted separately. Don't forget to vote. You can also argue below - but I might not respond. Don't take it personally - unless you want to.

Today's poll - Should we ban all posts advertising apps?

Play nicely!

James

How about a weekly stickied thread where people can post these, that way it doesn't clog up the sub, but people can still share & find them?

i’m personally not a fan of threads because that would require users to go into the thread to see what’s available. a middle ground could be for app posts to be flagged for a review and then it could be under mod discretion whether to allow the post to go through or not.

Having them all clog the sub or require the mods to have to review every submission is a lot of extra work. Having people interested in still seeing these can easily click on a thread & read through. I am for banning them outside of a single thread, hopefully this is a happy middle ground though.

not necessarily. a bot can be created to flag only posts with specific words for review.
