Hello, again! u/abqhkupmod here as usual to relay updates about the sub and upcoming changes. Let's get to it.
tl;dr - 26k members but 3 moderators, don't reply to spam posts or get temp banned, increasing minimum character limit for posts and replies, flair changes incoming soonish, user hungkinkyburque has good posts
Starting first, this subreddit is at over 26k members! Very nice! One thing to realize is that the whole sub is moderated by three, count 'em, three moderators. We're doing what we can to stymie bot posts, poor quality posts, people who haven't verified, etc. So, please, cut us some slack.
Next, Spam. When you reply, even if it's to state the post is from a bot, it attracts more. As we've said to people in modmail, PLEASE just use the report button instead of commenting. Every comment, regardless of content, flags our subreddit as one responsive to spam accounts. If people don't comment on spam, then the spammers move on. Let's not attract that kind of attention to our subreddit. So, from now on, if you comment on a spam post, you will get temporarily banned. I personally have not been holding people accountable for this, as I usually scroll reddit on my phone, but I will login on the computer and manually ban each responder to a spam post. You have been warned.
Now, posts. I have seen many, many dicks on this sub, and the quality of the posts is lacking. I could fire up this here internet and see as many dicks as I want if that was what I wanted. You posting a low-quality dick pic and barely a sentence will not (or should not) entice anyone. So, to combat that, we're going to increase the minimum character limit for posts, and for replies. This should increase the quality of posts, as well as take care of as well as the "HMU" or "hey" comments left on posts.
As stated previously, flair changes are incoming. Specifically, eliminating MtF/FtM and using T4M/F/A, etc. for our members who are. Also, adding MF4M/F/A for couples. This will likely break posts and make things hectic for a bit. Just a heads-up.
Lastly, we want to highlight a good example of a member and their posts. u/hungkinkyburque constantly has quality pics, gives a sentence or two about what they are looking for, and contributes to the sub in a great manner. Way to go hungkinkyburque. Also, last I checked, they are NOT looking for men. So, men, maybe you might stop asking if they're game? Most likely, they're not.
Again, as always we look for your input for suggestions & changes. We are all users of this sub, and we want to make it a better place for everyone using it to get what you’re looking for. If you have any ideas that you feel would make the sub better, please suggest them in a comment in this post. If you feel a post removal is in error, then please contact us through modmail. Again, if your account has low karma or is new, that’s likely the reason your post didn't go through. Meaningfully contribute to conversations on other subs and you'll get there in no time.
