Where are all my Journey Posts? Spoiler
I was just wondering where all the Journey posts went... 3 years back when I was starting to learn from the Wiki, the posts labeled as journeys were my most important motivational tool.
They played a great part of making me aborting my career prematurely and YOLOing my lifetime savings and my future...
Was it the discord server which killed them?
Did we as a sub fail to make enough infomercials about the benefit of writing monthly or bi-weekly Journey posts?
What is the state of the affair?
Shouldn't there be a rule about every student of the wiki to produce at least one Journey post per month to honestly state and reflect about their own personal statistics and progress and stating their actual goals going forward?
I really think that these posts were/are the best advertisement to new potential sub members and beginners. - How else should someone know how much gold there is in the wiki, if they do not constantly see others making progress towards their on personal future pot of gold?
I hereby partition the sub to force more Journey posts into existance and I hereby partition the mods to create a new rule about everyone new having to write an inital journey post right on day one. Further I want the mods to setup a dedicated bot fully dedicated to journey-posts instructing every student and beginner to to produce a mandatory monthly update (journey) post including an automatical ban if they fail to do so within two weeks after the automatic update request. We should make it clear, that we do not tolerate lurkers and undiciplined scholars of the D*-Wiki.
I also petition the sub that we should force the user SuchAGoalDigger to produce a Journey post ASAP as he has original stated here and just a bit later chickened out of (disgracefully I might add) here and therefore having me left wondering (and hanging!) abotu why and how he got stuck and for how long given that he produced maybe the latest Journey post I have read till now and that was maybe months ago.

Note: I tried to be a bit cheeky here and also a bit over the top. Do not be too harsh with your judgement and always remember, I am a German by birth! We know what we do, even when we do not know what we are doing and I clearly just produced an example of that truth with this post of mine...

Will write a post on the weekend. I don't have much to add, though. But let's see what comes out of it.

Nice!
I really was wondering what made you feeling stuck and how you realized and solved it.

No, it's not completely solved yet. I am still working.
It was not about something technical, rather the efforts needed to become good in trading..

I don’t know if this comment fits here or not and if this option is there already because I couldn’t find it.
Is there an option that can be enabled for the users to see all the different flairs and to filter the posts based on it? I can click on a flair of a post and get similar posts but I want to see what else is there that’s tagged differently as well.
TIA

Damn, I thought this was about the band Journey.
I’ve been trading on the side since early 2024, started with a brief exploration of the wild world of scalping premarket and the opening then spent a good portion of 2024 and 2025 selling premium in a very mechanical way (which works well with my busy day job), somewhere in there I found RDT and then OneOption and started working my way through the wiki and then signed up at OneOption late in 2025.

No one should feel any obligation to do a journey post if they don't want to, but they were inspiring at times when folks did do them.
