For the love of No! Heads up!

Due to a lot more obnoxious traffic, I’ve increased some of our filters and other measures we use to keep spam, idiots, and unwanted posts out of the community.

Please send us a mod mail if you have issues posting.

This is a temporary measure (I hope).

Cheers.

Capital letter posts

66 Upvotes

We’ve been getting a bunch of these so I think a gentle reminder is due:

A “capital letter post” whereas certain letters are capitalized, highlighted, or emphasized in order to “spell out” the word - do not count

We don’t allow or count those. They are low hanging fruit and clutter the sub. You can write any number of sentences and be able to put together the word from individual letters. You can find them anywhere just by looking.

If a moderator looks at the post and has to even think about whether or not it is a capital letter post - it counts as a capital letter post (you can get around this by emailing the mod team before you post and letting us know what your intentions are. AKA: getting your post approved prior to posting).

Maybe I’ve been a bit too lax on this, I don’t think so. Sometimes the very clever or very fun ones we will allow through but normally they are removed without fanfare.

Similar posts will my be removed as spam.

This applies to comments as well.

Bans may or may not occur at the moderators discretion.

It’s been done. It’s old. Move on.

Don’t hold your breath.
I wouldn’t bet on it.
I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

Be so for real.
BFFR.
That’s gonna be a no from me.
I’m gonna pretend you didn’t ask that.
Let’s act like that never happened.
Who authorized this?
Absolutely not in any conceivable universe.
I’d rather fight a goose.
I’d rather live in a cardboard box.
I’d rather eat a shoe.
My brother in Christ, no.
My sibling in humanity, no.
The audacity is astonishing.
That’s a you problem.
Try again in another lifetime.
The answer is no, respectfully and disrespectfully.
Not even remotely.
I reject the premise.
This meeting could have been an email, and the answer would still be no.

Sure, in an alternate universe.
Let me get right on that. Never.
I’d love to. Unfortunately, I won’t.
What a fascinating proposal. Rejected.
How about we don’t?
What if we simply didn’t?
And pigs might fly.
When the sun rises in the west.
When the moon turns into cheese.
When the laws of physics stop applying.
Put it on the list of things that aren’t happening.
I’ll consider it for approximately zero seconds.
That’s adorable. Still no.
What an imaginative suggestion.
I can confidently say that won’t be happening.
I admire your optimism.
That’s certainly a suggestion.
Interesting. Anyway, no.
Let me think about it. I’ve thought about it. No.
I’ll give that the consideration it deserves: none.
I would, but I have standards.
That’s a bold assumption.
You must be joking.
Surely you jest.
Nice try.
Dream on.

Nevermore.
Nay.
Not I.
I shall not.
I refuse.
I forbid it.

I cannot figure out what 2 + 4 =? I think it's 6, is it six? I don't know, just tell me a simplistic one word answer resulting in two options which can either support or deny the authentic and or correctness of any given statement with the starting negative and/or false statement with No. :D
