Post Body

Hi all! Thanks for stopping by. Here's a small update for the final month of the year.

â–¬

So... we've reached 1 million subscribers, which means our cozy little subreddit isn't so little anymore. We'd still like for it to be cozy, though. :)

To that effect, we're going to continue to stick to the rules in strict fashion. These rules have been with us for quite a while, and even though minor adjustements have been made over time, it's still very much the same spirit behind them. We want to make sure that PerfectTiming lives up to its name, or rather, that the idea behind the name is preserved.

  • There's a bunch of (approved) bots in here, helping with the removal of submissions that aren't suitable (e.g. reposts, videos, spam - that sort of thing). But there's also a steady supply of user reports, which helps keep things under control. These reports are very valuable, so do keep that up - it's always been part of PerfectTiming, and it will continue to be so.

  • We're not just relying on bots and user reports, though. There's active moderating too. This was deemed necessary long ago, and it's still deemed necessary. 1 million subscribers is rather a lot, and then there's also the amount of random visitors on a daily basis. Frequently, this means someone has to be available to intercept stuff that deviates. The moderating effort is a necessary component, which is made clear by the number of items being removed manually.

So far, with the resources available in here, we manage fine (bots, user reports and moderating included). Perhaps it'll be necessary to add additional moderators in the future, if the growth continues, but for now, we've got a handle on things. Thanks to anyone who's written over the years and offered their help in this regard, though! :)

Perhaps there's something we'll have to do differently at some point, but we don't want to mess too much with the spirit of the subreddit, so we've gotta be careful about changing too radically moving forward. Again, this attitude is deemed necessary, in order to preserve the scope of PerfectTiming.

â–¬

In closing, let's keep this thread open for a while - just so all of you have the chance to comment or make suggestions at your leisure. You're always welcome to write the moderating team directly, of course, and we'll reply as soon as possible.

At any rate - thank you for your time, have a nice day, and see you again at 2 million?... ;)
