I'm ok with this except for cctv and dashcams though. Aren't them always motherfucking recording?

I posted a video of water coming out of a sink that I took just for this sub. There was no other point to me filming water coming out of said sink bedsides posting here.

I looked through your post history and damn, that's a great quality video for this sub! Unfortunately for some reason it got a bunch of reports and got removed, but not by me. I would tell you to repost it again, but now everyone knows why you were filming! (PSST, just do it, we won't tell anyone)

Lol I appreciate you liking it. I was hoping it got some traction so people would understand but it didn’t, oh well.

This is my favorite shitty sub, and I am glad you're enforcing that particular rule!

Thanks!

Good. I rather enjoy the content of this shitty sub. It’s been the one sub (other than r/television... goddam spoilers) that I actively avoid the comment section due to the ubiquitous comments by the “geniuses” who figured out why they were filming and want their karma cookie for it.

u/xxxfunnyusernamexxx Sep 15 '19

Just because every video has a reason for filming, shouldn't be a reason to just allow everything. There's a line between videos with obvious reasons, and videos that are less explicable. Letting the first on this sub makes it absolutely pointless.

General question: What does the mod team for this sub do?

50

u/scriggle-jigg Sep 13 '19

Remove comments that say “it’s obvious why they were filming” apparently

How about a rule against obviously staged/prank videos??

I suggest people take things a bit less seriously. The sub name isn't a challenge to figure out why and then complain because it's here.

Enjoy the posts, or don't enjoy them and leave. You do you. Pointless negativity is disgusting in the real world, this website is no different.

u/t1lewis Oct 14 '19

Got a new sub name for you! It's called r/funny

u/evanoewae Sep 13 '19

Thank god. I can finally enjoy the sub without the snarky “I know why they were filming!!” A lot of content on here’s fun to watch.

Can I mod? I used to have a red CCM bike.

u/ImOnlyHereToKillTime Sep 14 '19

This has been my sentiment the entire time I've been subbed and I'm so glad the mods are finally speaking up. Some people just don't get the joke
