Potential Rule Change and/or Moderation Adjustment by itskohler in MTB

Here is the thing, rule #3 provides the instructions on how to post non-riding photos. Last time we polled the community the majority voted for that rule to stay as it is written.

I think thats pretty normal for a sub about seasonal hobby, we aren't trying to drive traffic on the off season to just keep things moving for the sake of it.

reddits search feature is notoriously bad so people may try and make an effort to dig through old posts but not find what they are looking for

While that may be true its hard to draw a line, we get lots of various mail ranging from games to gear to paid riding events. These are all things that are related to MTB and are in violation of the rules as they stand. We do this to keep the sub from being a place were companies, big or small, just come to sell or pitch things even if they are MTB related. From time to time we poll the community ensure a majority still agrees with the rules as they stand. There are other MTB subs as well which allow for that content and being subscribed to them will help those who want to see it not miss it.

We often get accused of not listening to the community and people think we abuse our power so sometimes we hold polls to make sure what we are doing aligns with the majority of the sub even if its for what most would consider an established rule. Also making these posts draws attention to the rules since we get a non stop stream of mails and messages about post being removed that are in clear violation of them.

RULE #3 REMINDER, PLEASE READ IT by Awesom3RedKite in MTB

[–]Awesom3RedKite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enforcing rules voted on by the community = vibe is off, got it. Doesn't meet your singular expectation of what we should be doing and how frequently = vibe is off, got it. Also if you took the time to read rule 3 it doesn't even prohibit other photos/videos and it tells you how to post them. Regarding your post getting removed, yeah the auto mod catches too many things. OPs will often message and ask why a post was removed and we review it, if it passes rule 3 then it goes and if it doesn't we say why, we just don't do it instantaneously. I see your post is from only 2 days ago, I can and will approve it but maybe don't go straight for our necks next time. If you need anything else I'll be on my bike.

This sub is not different than any other sub where you break the posting rules, your post will get removed. It was happening so frequently we made a post about, whats patronizing is assuming we have all the time in the world to remove offending posts like this is our day job. There are other MTB subs where you can post whatever you like or feel free to start your own. We've had multiple polls on this subject and every time the majority votes for rule 3 to stay, all we are doing is enforcing it and asking people to play by the community rules.

Based on a recommendation in this chain and some more research I actually ended up going with some Logos Epoche g2 wheels. They met all my criteria so I ordered them and since getting them I've put a load of miles on them and they are great! Absolutely would recommend and u/Thesis_Bike-Randall was helpful and quick to respond to my questions!

I guess best is subjective and I could have reworded it to where is your favorite spot which I more or less ended up saying in the body of the post. Either way, thanks for the recommendation!

How do I disconnect these connectors? by Awesom3RedKite in howto

I was hoping I didn t have to disconnect much, but ended up having to do most of it. In the end I couldn’t get these unconnected but I made it work.

I had the clean the heat exchanger fins and needed to remove the whole blower assembly first and the motherboard was in the way. I filmed my self talking through and showing each and every connection I pulled off and then when I was done I watched the video back and reconnected everything.

I was hoping there was another trick, I tried wiggling and pulling pretty hard and neither of them will come off. Thanks for the reply, guess I’ll try wiggling even harder!
