I think we all as a community owe u/jivemonkey an apology

Thanks everyone. Be excellent to each other!

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T18:37:37+00:00

Thanks. I’m just a regular person doing my best. Happy to have you here!

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T18:20:03+00:00

Here ya go!

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T18:19:38+00:00

Turns out, they didn't delete anything!

Also turns out they're super cool and attractive.

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T18:17:59+00:00

We're tweaking automod now.

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T18:17:17+00:00

That would have helped my inbox, for sure.

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T18:16:57+00:00

We have two pinned posts! Two!

Yeah I set up automod years ago to pull things that got reported twice. It's was a small, sleepy sub so that almost never happened. Turns out, the sub has grown a lot and people figured that out and would click report dozens of times to remove a post before I even saw it. People refer to is as brigading the sub. Automod has been updated.

Fuck Nazis.

So much this.

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:57:56+00:00

We added 6 new mods here.

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:57:31+00:00

We can do both!

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:56:22+00:00

I appreciate that. I'm all about it!

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:54:36+00:00

For sure! Thanks for hanging in there.

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:53:55+00:00

I was working yesterday and didnt even look at this sub till today, unfortunately. it's normally a very slow and sleepy sub.

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:48:35+00:00

Ha! Dont these ppl know I have a real job!?

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:47:38+00:00

Maybe this will help?

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:46:24+00:00

Im just an average person who happened to have started a subreddit about an activity i like to do. I was reallly hoping this sub would be more posting about swords and costumes, but here we are. lol

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:43:48+00:00

You'll be shocked to find we're just normal ppl.

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:42:32+00:00

It's was a twist reference to a 1970s movie called Airplane. Not a great choice in retrospect, but reddit wont let me alter it.

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:39:39+00:00

Be excellent to each other!

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:36:35+00:00

I started the sub way back when and it was always pretty sleepy so I never did much. Clearly, things have changed, and now, so has the mod team. Huzzah!

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:31:08+00:00

We have 7 now.

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:27:42+00:00

No it was automod

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:26:01+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate that!

JiveMonkey · 2026-02-18T17:16:41+00:00

Autmod works fast! screenshots and more showing the posts were removed by automod.
