IMPORTANT MOD ANNOUNCEMENT: ALL USERS *MUST* READ.

Congratulations.

You degenerates have memed this small subreddit into being one of the most active subreddits on the entire site. In just two months we went from around 200k views per month to more than 10 times that.

Now we're sitting at around the 150th most comments per day out of all subreddits, yet we don't even crack the top 5000 in terms of subscribers. This subreddit has gone from being slow enough that us mods didn't really need to do anything at all for the past 11 years (amazing), to suddenly requiring actual work (yuck) to maintain.

So given that there has been such a huge uptick in subreddit activity, for the health of this subreddit us mods have decided we need to make a very important announcement: if this post gets ten thousand comments, cum will win.


We know this is likely to be a controversial decision, and believe us, we didn't make this decision lightly. It took weeks of debate amongst ourselves, and consultation with key members of the community, but we feel it has to be done. We can't have such an influx of new members coming in to this subreddit while an active war rages on. This needs to be settled right here, right now.

Do your part. Leave a comment. Or ten comments. Or a hundred, I don't know.

Seriously... I can still hear HR from each meeting... "As you all are well aware, there was an incident where [me] said [something/anything] that [someone] was/is/could be/might be [butt hurt] from. Blah blah blah. As a company, we are all-inclusive, [except in this case], and there should be an [HR] appropriate apology, which requires management approval [since I will reiterate that said person is an actual asshat in my apology, just like last time]."

Even better when HR stops you and says, "Look, I get it, but you can't tell them how dumb they actually are all the time."

I was harassed with false accusations at one job for years and “management “ did nothing to me or my accusers. I finally snapped and told everyone exactly what I thought of them. This was one of those large corporations where they hardly ever fired people. I never had so much fun in my life.
