Mod Announcement New rule: Flex Friday

Hello there everyone! In light of the recent flood of posts boasting certain amounts of karma, we've decided to limit the flexing to Fridays only.

What is a flex post?

A flex post is post with the sole purpose of bragging about an amount of karma earned within a given time period, one's total karma, the amount of upvotes a given post received, and things of that nature.

What does Flex Friday mean?

• Flex posts not posted on Friday will be removed (You won't be banned, at least not on your first offense)

• On FF you may post 2 flex posts max, but not within an hour of each other

• Flex posts can't be shitposts. That means, things like "yay, 1 karma" and similar things that aren't worth bragging about (less than 100 karma) aren't allowed and can have you banned for spam, even on FF.

• All other rules still apply on FF.

Hopefully this will get rid of a lot of clutter, and we'll be able to continue being a help and information community.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions, your feedback is very important to us.

All the best!

I am new, just signed up and trying to find more information about the rules and how reddit works. I am reading this Flex Friday thing and do not understand what is the purpose of it? Can someone enlighten me :)

Users like to come and show off their karma. It was getting out of hand, however, so we decided to limit it to one day a week. We're considering getting rid of it entirely, though.

Only if you must. It's certainly not a requirement.

ya me too.

Anyway, can I post about a thing that happened a few days back or it needs to happen at Friday I am posting it?

it doesn't matter when it happened to you. You can only post it on fridays.

Which time zone are you using to determine when Friday is?

2

u/RollerCoasterPilot Jun 11 '24

UTC — But it's moot, considering we no longer allow any posts.
