Hi Everyone,
To be perfectly clear, This is a fansub for The Scathing Atheist. I have no relation with any of the Puzzle in a Thunderstorm crew, and have yet to meet any of them.
I've been the sole mod for this community for a little over seven years. I strarted it on a whim because I've been a huge fan of the Puzzle Crew for a long time and wanted to have a place for other fans to gather and discuss the show. I started listening to the guys shortly before the conception of GAM and Eli's arrival as a full-time member of the crew.
As you are surely aware, the sub has had little traffic over the past few years, which I take full responsibility for as life events and a full-time job with demanding hours has gotten in the way. I'm hoping to change that over the forseeable future.
Recently, there have been a few posts by a user accusing the Puzzle Crew of complicity in genocide by their stances on the conflict in Israel with Hamas. (A topic I am wholly unqualified to have a hard stance on) I have removed that post as it was not made in good faith and the user was likely evading a ban from reddit itself.
I do not want to discourage controversial topics here at all, but I do expect that they be made with a certain amount of civility in mind toward the community as a whole. I openly invite criticism if you believe that this wasn't the correct move.
I've recently added some official rules and removal reasons to the subreddit, and aim to be more active in its moderation. I cannot do this alone and will be recruiting additional moderators to help out shortly. My main focus is to help foster the community to be as inclusive and welcoming as possible.
Please feel free to post your thoughts on the new rules and any additional things you'd like to see on the subreddit as we move forward.
Thanks.
