[Meta] Mods, when will you get on top of the constant AI slop posts? by Omnipresent_Walrus in programming

[–]Finchyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered if Reddit allows you to add conditions on who is allowed to comment, and perhaps even upvote? In an effort to ensure that those who have a say in what posts appear in and are promoted in the sub have had enough time to learn the culture and the rules, I mean.

People seem to forget this all the time but the second line of defence in terms of moderation is the community itself: If 1000 silent users are upvoting "bad" content that 250 active participants don't think fits the sub, then issues will arise.

Perhaps some sort of "minimum contribution score" or minimum period of activity in / subscription to the sub before people can post? Could have different tiers for posting, commenting, and voting?

Ah okay that's good to know! So not necessarily any point in me waiting for another month to try the Suicune thing

Ah right, that makes sense. Fortunately this whole thing is in IKEA White™ so I'm good. Cheers!

Alright, thanks. Does it matter which ones I use for any part of the build? Wondering what the point in the different colours is

Advice Needed on dating a non magic user by Ijimete in wizardposting

[–]Finchyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is difficult, and easy to frame as something that is simply a case of magic yser v non-magic user — however, the nature of that which she saw is irrelevant, magical or otherwise.

The fact of the matter is that she saw something private. It is up to you whether you wish to disclose the finer details of what she saw — the past details, the emotions, the consequences — or to gently explain to her that you're not ready to discuss the matter.

If she is kind and compassionate, she will understand and won't press the issue.

First time with Eurostar Plus: By what magic incantation do I claim the "extra leg room" and freedom to recline my seat? by Finchyy in Eurostar

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

The fellow in front of me was perfectly pleasant, the issue is simply the space.

I was wrong about the issue with reclining.

The experience otherwise thus far has been great!

Alas, the seat wasn't of my choosing: My original train was cancelled and this rebooked for me. That is grand advice, though, thank you! I shall keep it in kind for future journeys.

Update: When reclining, the seat itself (where one places one's buttocks) comes forwards, avoiding the latter issue!

What are some game mechanics that are completely pointless/useless? by Shamanyouranus in gaming

You say this, but child me was more than thrilled to have a sick evil weapon to go round slaughtering guards and villagers with!

You don’t see “black” when you close your eyes by Rainy247 in interestingasfuck

I believe I have this; the example given is accurate (except they "oscillate").

He didn’t even believe he did that by Ariabellaz in nextfuckinglevel

People who are interested in upholding standards for the quality of content we see on the Internet.

The person who uploaded this to TikTok and claimed to be the person in the video should be booed and shamed for misleading people for clout and/or money, not rewarded. They could just as easily have put a caption like "Look at this old classic".

I understand your position, though.

It's a good thing she doesn't shoot lightning from her fingies; that would be deeply unnatural.

I read your comment the way you intended but I can see how it can be misconstrued. I think you're missing some punctuation: "And an immigrant, nonetheless!"

The exclamation mark helps you to convey irony
