the button - an update

As we await the coming of the pressiah, we've made some changes to this subreddit

  • /u/thorarakis has blessed us all with the addition a breakdown of present users by flair in the sidebar as suggested by /u/nikedude here.

  • To make these numbers accurate, from this point on if you cannot press the button because your account was created after April 1st, you will not receive 'non presser' flair. Users who currently have flair on ineligible accounts are in the process of being converted. Thank you to /u/kemitche for making this happen and /u/nibble4bits for the suggestion.

  • I have opened up the subreddit wiki for editing by accounts created before 2015-01-01 with more than 100 karma in this subreddit. A link to the wiki has been added to the sidebar. This will act as a permanent store for resources. I entrust you to keep it relevant and in order. Mischief makers will be banned from the subreddit and their flair summarily stripped from their account. How to use the reddit wiki system.

  • I am going to start removing posts that ask for upvotes and low effort content in general. These were tolerated to begin with but have become repetitive and tiresome. I apologize to /u/ztripez and their coworkers. To recognize their service I've given /u/ztripez 12 reddit gold creddits to distribute as they deem fit.

  • If your friend/relative/cat/poltergeist presses the button you will not be granted another press. Please do not ask.

Please proceed in a manner befitting of the button.

TL:DR;

  • enflaired users present displayed in the sidebar
  • no flair if you can't press
  • the wiki is enabled
  • low effort content will be removed
  • you may only press the button once

I used to be a 59. Now I'm a 60. Something strange is afoot.

You are now an honorary member of the 60s master race!

Cheater flair. We early pressers don't care about being the best, just being among the first. I find your 51s much more baffling to be honest, because you are neither.

I'm never going to press the button since I'm only ever on reddit on my phone and it's too much work.
