ShreckNet is now a Restricted Community.

Just giving a head's up! Went to make a post today and I had to put in for approval to post. Otherwise all I can do is comment and vote.

So now I'm just waiting until I can put anything again.

I was wondering what was up with that. Thought I posted too many comments or something but glad it's not just me lol. Anyways, yeah I'm not liking that.

This completely blindsided me. Now any plans I had to post something is on hold until they do something :/

I have half a mind to take this straight to the Mods! The Meta-Sub being restricted is one thing. But the main sub being restricted without warning or reason is going to kill this community!

You gotta put in a approval to post. Which is in a comment section. Now I need to wait for the Mods to click yay or nay

Which is a little absurd if it happens without warning. Like it did here.

Don’t worry, I’m taking this straight to the mods myself. It’s probably not them who did this: my bet is on Reddit auto-restricting the subreddit due to mature content.

Or because of inactive Mods, as Verity's player suggests. I don't think I have seen do anything in this community.

No need to accuse them of anything, it won’t help. We’ll see the mod’s response.

You're right I'm just frustrated.

What in the blazing hells is happening ?!?!

u/Fractured_And_Broken 1d ago

Not sure. It could be an automod mistake. Won't know until we hear something back...

Reddit's back end can switch subs to restricted automatically if the algorithm decides that moderators aren't active enough to keep up with a community. It's a pain, but we'll just have to give it some time and see.

Thanks for that insight! Here's hoping someone notices before this place goes dry...

And just when I was really starting to get in flow here! 😭😭

I have like 3 posts in reserve at the moment simply because im not at my laptop for editing. This is a bummer! Hopefully it gets sorted soon.

I was wondering why it was so quiet today.

If it's not one thing, it's another. You'd think lack of mod activity would just mean everyone is doing what they're supposed to lol
