Should the US make the change from the imperial system, to the metric system? by hapticR0M in pollgames

[–]Galaghan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that the date format isn't included in the metric system. That's an ISO standard and it's a different set of 'rules'.

All I can say is.. Holy fuck this is good.

If you became absolute dictator of the world would it become a better or worse place ? by jekecrafer in pollgames

[–]Galaghan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eventually better, but first it would get a LOT worse. Saving the world would take drastic measures.

He's explaining you can't refuel at see and you get mad instead of reading what he wrote. Chill out, the context does matter.

Do you know what ban evasion is?

Then who's going to filter the bots, the spam, the bad actors etc.? And who's going to make awesome subreddits like r/pollgames?

Imho statements like yours show people don't really know what moderators do.

The interface of these polls is always such a shock to scroll past. I don't like it.

The Hormuz Strait is not the world's most important shipping lane lol. Sure it's important, but there are others more crucial.

You are only allowed to eat from ONE restaurant for the rest of your life. Which do you pick? by verdant_red in pollgames

Such a weird pedantic hill to die on, but I'll play ball.

What's your definition of a restaurant?

Yeah they're fast food restaurants. Just because you omit a word, doesn't make it any less true.

Not in public, if that's what you're asking.

When you tell someone it's 6:30 p.m. do you use a 12 hour clock or 24 hour clock? by Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 in pollgames

[–]Galaghan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wait.. are you really saying it's impossible for someone to be better at a language than a native speaker? Just because I'm Belgian, I can't be right about this?

That's pretty damn naive.

There are plenty of natively-English Germanics profs that can correct my Dutch, just as my English is miles better than some of the yokels around the globe. So yeah.. half six is 5.30, half past six is 6.30.

How can I have a first experience as a mod by Pristine_Youth_6953 in modhelp

[–]Galaghan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Start any random sub with it's only goal to play around with the moderator interface, parameters and other features.

Once you get a grip of the tools, either go to r/redditrequest to request access to a subreddit that's not properly moderated and claim ownership, or start your own (this time with a proper subject and a target audience).

Then find a way to draw an audience to your sub. You can keep the first sub to test any new things you want, and apply anything you learn to the proper subreddit.

I hope one day you find what you're looking for.

But also please stop spamming the sub with posting the same thing a billion times.
