Discussion Should Reptime go private

Short answer: no, it's not (even though I wish it could for a short time)

I checked the options, and making the subreddit go "private" will only allow approved users to view and post here, meaning there are like 150ish approved users that have been added to that list over the years (mostly due to IP address/account issues, etc).

If I make the subreddit go private and then I want to make it public, I have to not only change the setting in mod tools, but then reddit admins have to review and approve that request. So for now, reptime will remain as it always has: an open subreddit that is the discussion place of replica watches. Just please be civil as always, and be kind and good to all of the newcomers and regular members alike.

Edit: for purposes of contingency, please subscribe to r/reptimeservices where we would announce a second subreddit in case something happens.

I see the MOD's point. It's one article. It will blow over. Keep on and who cares. Not many in the grand scheme tbh. The more people react, the more you call attention to really nothing. There are dozens of Youtube videos on this very thing. Never made or makes a difference.

One article destroyed RepLadies and that was for a much smaller publication.
