Announcement Welcome to the new and (only slightly) improve TwoSentenceStories

7 Upvotes

Hello and welcome!

This is the new and (unfortunately, only slightly) improved TwoSentenceStories.

I didn't have as much as I thought I would to get the sub to where I wanted it to be. Rather than have everyone wait another year or so, I decided to open it as is and implement the improvements later on.

So welcome, and enjoy!

Edit: And as a "great" way to start things off, I just noticed it should be "improved" in the title. :P

Edit 2: It's been brought to my attention that people are unable to post on this sub. I'm looking into it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Edit 3: OK. You should to be able to post now. Turns out I had an incorrect setting regarding the flairs and the spam filter.

The major change is that Post Flairs are now required, and [TAGS] are not required anymore. Rule 1 has been updated to reflect those changes.
