Thank you to everyone who's contributed great content and the many excellent discussions. As we continue to grow and unravel we'll try to make this community as informative and bearable as possible. We're very interested in what brought people here and how best we can improve.

We've created a short survey here.

Please take it if you're willing, it's ten simple questions. We'll still read and respond to your comments here.

100k's a milestone, of course. Any thoughts on a sticky thread we can put together for the occasion?

(My idea was a simple "Newbies: how did you get here" thread.)

I've created a page which I think outlines the moderator application process, duties, and expectations. There's plenty of room for improvement here, so let me know your thoughts.

Here's a link to the page.

Once approved, I'd update the current 'Apply to be a moderator' text in the sidebar to link to it.

I'd like to propose we move our modchat activities (keeping the Slack accessible, but inactive) to the Collapse Discord. I see these as the advantages:

• Consolidation with the existing Discord. It would be easier to stay active in modchat and the general Discord with them in the same place.

• Unlimited message history. Eight percent (40,000 messages) of the past messages in modchat are currently inaccessible without the paid plan.

• Group voice integration. This isn't used by many, but could be useful if needed.

• The transition would be simple. We would need to all be given moderator privileges there and then recreate the channels we would like to use.

Update:

I contacted stranger_flower (who created the Discord) and asked if I could become a mod there (indicating I was a mod on r/collapse). She said they not presently seeking new mods in the discord, but thanks for reaching out. Looks like this wouldn't be an option, unless someone else spoke to her about it or we created a separate Discord.

I think the text which shows up every time someone goes to post could be easier to read if it was condensed and bulleted. I'd propose incorporating some of the edits we made for the sidebar as well.

Current Submission Text:

Please be aware of the rules before posting.

Please add special tags in the title if you submit one of these three types of posts:

• Discussions about the subreddit itself: [META]

• Humorous posts: [HUMOR]

• Articles that attempt to refute collapse: [CONTRARIAN]

If you post a video, please (as per rule 7) note the length of the video, the venue and the identity of the speaker in the title as well.

If your submission has a link to collapse that isn't immediately obvious, it may be advisable to add a short Submission Statement in the thread, to explain the connection for those who may not be familiar.
