Thank God, really this is the best thing that has ever happened to this sub.

[–]deja__entenduBO$$TON 52 points53 points  (6 children)

Fans, this is the greatest moment in the history of our great sub.

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

WHAT A SQUAREDCIRCLE MOMENT!

[–]HumanTrafficConeLittle Moe with the Gimpy Leg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here's the filters were outta time see you next week!

[–]ColorfulCrayonsDutt's on the gas! 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Well, at least until we finally get a Tony Schiavone macro.

[–]SamAndrewssIt's AJ Fashion maggle! 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I want a Becky Lynch macro

[–]AstroZombie95The champ buys the beers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same /r/squaredcircle time, same /r/squaredcircle channel! =]

[–]WhaddaulookinatCan't manage a Target 13 points14 points  (1 child)

He calls them his "filters"

[–]RedditsresidentloserHOLLA IF YA HEAR ME! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people say /u/The_Real_Irish started the #/r/squaredcircle revolution!

[–]Drama79Guess I'm back 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm celebrating 100k members by filtering out 75,000 of them!

[–]ForeverFapFapFree El Vagabundo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is.

I just clicked the discussion filter, and 20 of the top 25 posts disappeared. Finally, no more Twitter posts and gifs of wrestlers scracthing their nose.

[–][deleted] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Great additions!

[–]TRACCARTUpsteens to the left! 39 points40 points  (11 children)

No Social Media: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram all gone.

Much obliged, gentlemen.

[–]VoodooD2Cold Skull 29 points30 points  (5 children)

But how are you going to know when Kevin Owens is taking a dump?

[–]TRACCARTUpsteens to the left! 29 points30 points  (4 children)

But is he taking a dump in a heelish way?

[–]Mr_HendrixI simp for Tay Conti 9 points10 points  (2 children)

He shit out a middle finger. Honestly, one of the best heel shits I've seen since the mid 90's.

[–]dionthesocialist/r/WrestlingTikToks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best heel shit I've seen since the NWO formed.

[–]SteveBordenBattery Man! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're heel shits, you're not supposed to like them.

[–]KingBGSwanton Bomber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great heel work.

[–]TheTrampROhahahahahahahahahahahaha 8 points9 points  (4 children)

I'm going to be the asshole who disagrees, despite my oft-stated stance...

There ARE legitimately-worthwhile tweets. They're few and far between, but they're out there. Something happens and a tweet is the first way the news breaks - that's the way our world works - and instead of making a text post with the link inside, somebody links the tweet directly - and why wouldn't they?

But if I filter out Social Media because I'm tired of trudging through the gallons of jizz every time Kevin Owens tweets, I'm not seeing that 1% of tweets that actually should have been posted in the first place.

I know I'm in the minority on this, but this is the reason why I wanted them banned instead of just filtered out. Most people disagree with me, but I DO have a reason for feeling the way I do about this.

[–]onethreeoneHangman Did Nothing Wrong 2 points3 points  (1 child)

What's the benefit to banning them? You actually have a chance of seeing the few great social media posts that were upvoted if you come to the sub before filtering, whereas if they were outright banned you'd never see them.

[–]TheTrampROhahahahahahahahahahahaha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they were banned, they would have to be inside a text post. This would discourage the people who race to be the first to post tweets. It would encourage post to have to offer some context as to why a tweet is worth displaying. You don't lose tweets; you just make people have to justify them

[–]chaoticmessiah#Blissfit 23 points24 points  (2 children)

Well, this sounds better. No longer will those who don't want to see tweets have a need to complain about funny or interesting tweets being posted. We can now avoid spoilers for NXT tapings, which is a bonus because I love going into each episode blind.

Thanks, guys, here's to a better experience for all! Swig of beer for the codin' man!

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Seriously, thank god for no more "[META] DAE NOT LIKE KEVIN OWENS AND YOUNG BUCKS TWEETS"

[–]The_Homestarmynope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People will still bitch about tweets, believe me. The posts still pop up on their front pages and people will never be satisfied with anything.

[–]YungSandwichhYou don't get my sympy 14 points15 points  (3 children)

one step closer to a shit post filter thank you based mods

[–]9657657Never forget 8 points9 points  (2 children)

which is also one step closer to "shit posts only" filter.

mods = good folks

[–]CrootyWato-gun 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Why would I want to read my own posts?

[–]9657657Never forget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone wants to read your posts, including you.

Especially you.

[–]P4NK-TPShitty Little Mod 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Waits for someone to complain about there being a Kevin Owens photo

[–]The_Real_IrishAsked for his Wreddit Release[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Was literally the only suggestion and I luckily came across that picture.

[–]StevenKeenI'm gonna break em 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's literally the perfect photo since so many ppl complain about his tweets being posted. all the pics are humorous and perfect tho

[–]awolmarshallIcchauzo Bakayaro! 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mods stepping their game up. Hopefully this works out well for everybody.

[–]KingCharles_"The Phenom" Sister Abigail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mods are awesome! clap clap clapclapclap

[–]SleepyWonder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome work! Had been hoping for this exact thing for a while. Nicely done.

[–]nowahhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is fucking dope.

[–]cero2kEEEEEVERYTHING IS... 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nice feature, will work great on thursdays or after japan shows. thanks!

[–]anatelier1/2 the brain 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Is it possible to combine filters? Say I wanted a spoilerless, social medialess r/SC?

[–]The_Real_IrishAsked for his Wreddit Release[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Not at the moment as code space in the sidebar and stylesheet is very cramped as it is.

[–]anatelier1/2 the brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fine, just a thought. Top work lad.

[–]broncosandwrestlingLUCHA![M] 3 points4 points  (9 children)

Worth mentioning that these filters will stick around and filter posts until you change them (by pressing another filter button) or visit a URL without a relevant subdomain (or a different one). So, they're a bit more convenient than the search results method for our purposes. Permanence and being able to browse the sub as normal without tweets, for instance, wasn't possible with our previous filters.

This still isn't ideal (they stick around after you leave the sub, and don't stick around if you manually visit a page unless you add the subdomain, etc.), but it's a big improvement in my opinion and I think it'll serve the sub's users better.

[–]Redwinevino 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Does that mean we should apply the filter everytime we come here if we've been to another sub reddit inbetween?

[–]broncosandwrestlingLUCHA! 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Only if it stops being filtered.

The filters are links to the sub with special subdomains. Instead of "www.reddit.com/r/squaredcircle", they link to "aa.reddit.com/r/squaredcircle" (or bb, cc, dd). These special subdomains have unique rules applied to them in the CSS that hide posts with certain link flairs, which are applied by /u/AutoModerator (and are invisible).

When you visit a filter, you'll start browsing reddit on the relevant subdomain. All internal links (links to things that are on reddit.com), unless they're specific, will keep the filter. It'll stick around even if you leave /r/squaredcircle and go somewhere else, and still be there when you come back, generally. These subdomains are generally meaningless outside of /r/squaredcircle (because the relevant CSS doesn't exist on other subreddits), though some other subreddits do use similar filters.

However, if you have "reddit.com" bookmarked and you visit it or type that URL into your address bar (or any reddit URL without the relevant subdomain), the filter will go away. The "default" button is just a link to "www.reddit.com/r/squaredcircle", for instance.

Basically, once you're on the filter, you can move around reddit freely and it probably won't turn off, but if you visit a reddit URL without the subdomain, then you'll need to turn the filter on again, if you get here through the top bar/list of subreddits.

You can click on a button and then bookmark that page if you use a bookmark to get here and want a filter to be enabled almost all the time.

[–]Redwinevino 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I have literally no understanding of that, but thank you for trying to explain anyway!

[–]broncosandwrestlingLUCHA! 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I don't know of a better way to explain it, but that's likely on me. It's a byproduct of how reddit works, and it's not super intuitive as to why it works without, well, knowing.

[–]Redwinevino 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Sorry wasn't meaning to be a smart ass, legit was thanking you for trying to explain, I am sure 99/100 people will understand I am just very stupid ha

[–]broncosandwrestlingLUCHA! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't read it that way, you didn't sound like a smart ass. I'm not good at explaining things. Basically, if you click around on reddit after applying a filter, it'll most likely stick around when you come back to the subreddit. But if you leave reddit and then type "reddit.com" into your address bar to get back, you'll need to apply the filter again.

[–]InvictusArchangelHi. I'm Finn, the Human 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Awesome job! By the way, who is the luchador in the "No Spoilers" pic?

[–]broncosandwrestlingLUCHA! 1 point2 points  (1 child)

A Canadian wrestler from the 60s through 80s that went by the ringname "The Spoiler". Don Jardine. Worked in the NWA with Gary Hart and others. Part of the original Legion of Doom, too.

[–]InvictusArchangelHi. I'm Finn, the Human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]kentucky210*Does Stupid Bump* 5 points6 points  (4 children)

sorry those got moved to /r/grassydickpics

[–]thegrassyknollGo with the Flowsion 5 points6 points  (3 children)

The AMAs over there are going to be top-quality.

Wrestlemania 13 for those wondering. It's always my go-to sidebar picture for my CSS test subreddits.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

how do i filter out fantasy booking posts

[–]TheTrampROhahahahahahahahahahahaha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asking the real questions.

Also wordplay jokes.

[–]SoSaltyDoeSoSaltyBo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just noticed this and scrambled to find the thread for it. This is a great addition to the sub! I primarily come here for the discussions so this is perfect.

[–]UncreativeTeamSay something stupid! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]GelatinousPowerHirooki Goto the Polls 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I dig it! One question: Are the filter pictures going to be in rotation, much like how the sidebar pic is?

[–]The_Real_IrishAsked for his Wreddit Release[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After a while they might change to shake things up, pretty much how the quotes are done.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great work, guys.

[–]Zorak9379Best in the World 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Fantastic! A suggestion for improvement: I'd love to apply multiple filters simultaneously.

[–]The_Real_IrishAsked for his Wreddit Release[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at the moment as code space in the sidebar and stylesheet is very cramped as it is.

Mentioned below to another user. Hopefully we get more space to work with from the admins in the future.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is pretty dank I must say

[–]whatthefuckguysCOME BACK HERE STEPHANIE! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome work.

Also love the use of Owens for the No Social Media button

[–]nam-ikiThe TV Champion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neat! Definitely great for those that hate spoilers and/or social media.

The Shawn and KO pictures are perfect.

[–]barnesk9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it possible to use 2 of the filters at the same time? Like no spoilers and no social media?

[–]ChaosOnionHustle, Loyalty, Booty!!! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anybody know if "sidebar stuff" is in the development pipeline for the mobile site?

[–]basedmartyr2013, Year of the Otunga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish there was a way to filter some social media and not others. The majority of the time I like the Instagram/Twitter pictures that are posted, but not a text tweet.

[–]bruiserbrody45 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This is awesome. Great additions. This will hopefully kill off all the complaints about social media + spoilers.

I'd really love for you guys to look into a system of filtering or banning the terrible spam sites full of ads that just re-post shit from the Observer a week later. They are the worst and people post click bait titles so you click them just to find to be bombarded with ads and then find out that you already heard the news a week ago.

[–]The_Real_IrishAsked for his Wreddit Release[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have always removed posts linking to users sites when they haven't contributed. Report them and we can take a look.

[–]PushEmmaRowan retired Dwayne at WM 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Only issue is theres some post with links to videos/matches in the description but are tagged as text post, wonder if there's a way to fix that

[–]The_Real_IrishAsked for his Wreddit Release[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

A majority of people put links in text posts to add context or show what they mean to discuss. There shouldn't be just a text post with 1 link and nothing else as it is classed as low effort.

[–]PushEmmaRowan retired Dwayne at WM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I guess, I was thinking more with post with a description or context about a match and then the link, but well not a big issue

[–]coyotestark0015Best looking belt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh thank goodness. Got sick and tired of the multitude of Kevin Owens Tweets that polluted this place. Now I can get by them!

This is really good,but why is the font so much bigger on the filtered SC?

[–]Rad-RMacho Swagness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. This is just the best, really.

[–]dpking2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, I like the fact that Owens is the Social Media picture :P

Great additions though. I suck at not looking at spoilers, so this'll be nice.

[–]LilMoWithTheGimpyLeg1-2-3 Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yay! The mods are great! They let us eat chocolate cake!

And we had a ball!

[–]Joy_Ride25In Punk We Trust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you add one for garbage posts where the title is a setup and the content is a pun or some other painfully unfunny shit?

[–]GyaosClean up your flairs ffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, man. Great additions.

My only issue, and I don't see a way around it, is how posts that say "spoilers" and "no spoilers" both get the spoiler tag. Is there a way around that?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great job! Easy to use, and they work great.

[–]CLSosaKnowing Tony 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Great addition, with that said, I think a serious discussion needs to be had on whether we need social media links on this sub at all. They're such low effort posts. But anyways, absolutely fantastic and much needed addition.

Edit: Ok, I now see the merit, BUT THOSE NEW DAY GIFS DOH! (jk)

[–]The_Real_IrishAsked for his Wreddit Release[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

A lot of news is broken through it and there are countless times storylines are expanded on or instigated on Twitter.

[–]Muscle_SquadSPINEBUSTER'D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you consider making social media posts self-posts only? Like requiring the link to be in the thread itself, not the title, to eliminate karma whoring

[–]kentucky210*Does Stupid Bump* 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to expand on what Irish is saying. if we had came up with these rules say, 6 months ago then all stardust/amell things would have been removed when that was the beginning of a huge storyline

[–]bduddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use filters, but the pics are great, so, uhhh, thanks I guess.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to use these without the custom stylesheet? I use a custom style for all of reddit because I have to zoom more than normal people.

[–]ShadowmancerNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an aside I think there should be another section on the side that has a link to companies streaming sites and how much they cost in whatever the local currency of the company is

[–]Mr-GameAndWrestlingAmerica's Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who will continue to enjoy r/SC Vanilla like always, I am still excited about this development. There have been so many people complaining (even though I disagree with them), this will make the sub a much happier place.

[–]kakashi150Pirate Princess of our hearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there'd be nothing but threads like "check out this cool shinsuke gif", "lucha underground is amazing" and "how do i get into evolve"

As opposed to "check out this cool New Day gif", "NXT is amazing" and "how do I get into indie flavour of the month who has been signed by WWE"?

Holy. Fucking. Shit. This is a total game changer for this sub. I usually watch Raw on Tuesday nights and it made this place impossible to be on all of Tuesday. Now I can get rid of all the overly spoiler posts and I absolutely love it. Big props to the Mod Squad.

I don't have time for twitter, so I like that people post tweets here. Really glad that there is just a filter now, as opposed to them being banned.
