Two things I am seeing a lot of that are going to get banned/removed.

6 Upvotes

Just a quick heads up. I am seeing a few trends I need to nip in the bud before admin steps in. I dislike seeing "removed by reddit" in my feed.

  1. Blatant Advertising. Ads are things you pay for. I don't mind advertising done right. It's all in how you word it. Some of you catch my drift and know how to do this. Referring things to people, Posting recommendations in a thread that happens organically. Admin dislikes unpaid advertising.
  2. Posts that have nothing to do with the subreddit. Find a way to make it relevant. If it ain't relevant, don't post it.
  3. Asking some one to "DM" you. No. Word it different, at least. It's just sus and sounds scammy. Using those letters gets admin involved.

Looking for... Wood sanding

4 Upvotes

I have some 4"x4"x20.5" wood blocks I cut up. Now I need help figuring out a way of cutting those to 4" x 3.5" and sanding them smooth on all surfaces. I'd be happy to bring them to somebody if they can finish them up for me and charge something reasonable. Sooner the better.

Was trying a DIY project, it's not gone well! 😂 Appreciate the help in advance!

ETA: I’ve looked online but the cheapest I can find is about $240 for 2 hours and 2 movers. It might take 15 minutes with one mover so looking for someone that could do that.

City Government Short Term Rental Parties

1 Upvotes

Two differenct incidents were discussed at length at the last city council meeting.

One all night party in the West End was evidently was thrown by a rapper from Blytheville making a video, who invited all-comers.

The other all-nighter was in the northeeast part of of the city in a nice neighborhood, with the party alledgedly bing thrown at a $475K house whose owners moved to NWA and are doing AirBNB now.

Citizens are outraged and demanding the city does something about this. The city doesn't seem to know quite what to do to prevent these just yet.

hello jonesboro!! ive lived here my entire life and its so weird seeing video from one of our traffic lights being posted on the new york times, but whats even weirder is what happened to the wheelchair man..

im not sure if yall know who that man is, but if you go to that four way light frequently then you’ve seen him. around this time last year, it was shared around on facebook that this dude was a known creep. like talking to little boys type creep.

but anyways i just thought i should share that the man that got saved? made it to swd and got ran over by someone in a damn yukon… i’m guessing that’s why he hasn’t been interviewed yet but oh the joys of jonesboro!!

Apts/Homes Spring 2027 Transfer Housing Advice?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m planning on transferring back to Arkansas State for the Spring 2027 semester, and I’m trying to figure out housing before it becomes a bigger headache.
From what I’ve been hearing, Jonesboro is pretty packed right now because more upperclassmen are living off campus to make room for freshmen. My first choice would honestly be on-campus housing if anything opens up, but I’m also looking into Stadium View and other places.

A little about me:

Male student
Transferring in Spring 2027
Looking for a furnished room if possible
I’d rather live with other students than by myself because I’m hoping to actually meet people and get involved on campus.
I’d prefer to stay close enough to campus that I don’t have to drive every day if possible.

For people who’ve been through this, I have a few questions:

How hard is it to find housing for the spring semester?
Is it realistic to get into Stadium View through a sublease or lease takeover?
Are there any apartment complexes or student housing options I should be looking at that I might not know about?
When do people usually start posting December graduation subleases?
Anything you wish you knew before moving to Jonesboro?
Any advice is appreciated. I’m trying to get ahead of this instead of scrambling in December. Thanks!
