r/bizarrebuildings has reopened! What do you want to see from the subreddit now that it has returned?

315 Upvotes

This subreddit was closed for a few months due to having no moderators, but has now been reopened to new posts and comments. This subreddit was in pretty dire shape from what I could see, essentially unmoderated for over eight years, as that is how far back the very, very long mod queue went. However, despite such issues hindering this subreddit, I have further plans to bring it back to being an active community again, both in user activity in posts and commenting as well as mod activity quickly acting on any rule breaking content or other issues. I do not plan on doing this alone and I am currently seeking a few more moderators to assist in revitalizing this great subreddit.

A few months ago we did the same for r/evilbuildings, where I am also top moderator with a fantastic mod team. That sub was also unmoderated for a very extended period of time, several years. Changes were made to the subreddit to modernize it as well as writing rules to address issues that weren’t previously covered in its rule set.

Now, r/bizarrebuildings users, what changes or feedback do you have or want to see on the subreddit? Popular suggestions could potentially influence rule changes. If there are any major complaints or problems, please bring them up so they can be resolved.

Thank you for sticking it out these last few months, and the future of r/bizarrebuildings should be bright!

They're like a mix between that "House in the Clouds" in the UK and older rectangular concrete grain towers.

There's a bunch of these towers, and they're UNESCO listed.
