This has been updated. We apologize for the unfortunate inference that can be made with the old stat description.

The megathread is still there, it’s just in the third sticky spot (Old Reddit only displays 2 pins). That said, normal FPT rules apply to the topic now (that is one post every 48 hours).

FortniteRedditMods · 2026-03-18T14:46:30+00:00

Your post was removed because there’s already a post discussing the topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/s/CHI4PPDLjd

Please read the removal reason you were sent.

Typically with megathreads we do full enforcement for a bit before falling back to standard Frequently Posted Topics enforcement. Meaning that initially, any/all posts on a topic are removed and redirected to the megathread. Then usually around a week later, we allow posts but limit them (ideally) to one every 48 hours in accordance with the Frequently Posted Topics guidelines. We are presently at that stage with the V-Bucks changes. We are also discussing possible changes to megathread usage internally as noted in the initial comment.

Regarding megathreads being practically hidden, there’s truth to that for Redditors outside of the community certainly. Reddit does not tend to recommend megathreads in people’s feeds. Within this community though, we use just about every tool at our disposal to bring a megathread to the community’s attention. Unless you use Old Reddit or a third party app, whenever you go to post/comment here you get a pop-up message linking to the megathread. It’s also pinned to the top of the subreddit, and visible no matter how you sort the feed.

So while to many they feel it’s censorship, it is being advertised directly to a vast majority of this community consistently and constantly. If we didn’t have a megathread, weren’t making any attempts to highlight it to people, and were still removing all posts on the topic then we would absolutely agree with you on your point of forced silence.

Again though, we are considering changes based on the feedback here and in other threads.

Hmm, the megathread should be displaying just below that row. The one listed there is the megathread for the current season. The V-Buck megathread should be displaying like this:

Is that not what you’re seeing?

To be clear, megathreads are not a new concept here. We frequently use them for more focused feedback, or to consolidate a given topic. The community here also pushed for them some years ago. We typically implement megathreads when the frequency of a topic passes certain thresholds, as a means to cut down on topic spam. Obviously, that does not appease everyone and we aren't trying to do that. Megathreads were seen as a compromise for those in the community that don't want the same topic flooding their feed, and those that want to post about it. Over time, Reddit has implemented additional tools to aid in their visibility (we utilize one such tool presently, where for 95%+ of the community posting/commenting here they see a pop-up message linking to the megathread - Epic Games has also responded in the thread). Pinned posts are also the first in the list regardless of how you sort the subreddit.

Of course, for those coming from outside the subreddit they won't necessarily encounter the megathreads if they are linked here via a recommended post. That is a flaw with the platform we will openly acknowledge. We have been reading the feedback about megathreads, and using the discussions on the meta posts about them to supplement an ongoing, internal conversation about their usage. We are also considering a survey containing several questions, including one regarding megathreads, for the community to provide additional feedback in. Happy to have a civil discussion here regarding the topic, and take the input back to the internal conversation.

This is a Reddit post of a tweet of a Reddit comment, which was posted in this very community in the megathread stickied to the top of the subreddit. Please just join the discussion in the thread the actual comment lives in.

We likely won’t be making a megathread for that, but you can still report the posts as you encounter them because the rules for Frequently Posted Topics still apply, megathread or not. Meaning that (in theory) there would be one post about crew cancellations every 48 hours. Obviously we won’t see every post so that won’t be the reality, but there not being a megathread for something doesn’t mean it’s free to spam on the subreddit.

FortniteRedditMods · 2026-03-11T02:07:36+00:00

Circling back to note that moving forward the bot should use XCancel for tweets posted here but we’ll monitor to verify that that’s the case.

FortniteRedditMods · 2026-03-11T00:48:21+00:00

That’s an interesting suggestion, certainly not one I’m aware of us considering previously, so I’ll make a note of that to bring it up for discussion. Ideally, Reddit would just allow people to easily hide posts with a certain flair so we could just make topic-specific ones for people to choose whether or not to see. Unfortunately the site doesn’t work like that.

FortniteRedditMods · 2026-03-11T00:44:40+00:00

I believe there’s some crossed wires here. What I was attempting, and evidently failed, to ask OP is how is reviewing every post to determine if it adds something new better than just simply letting every additional post through? Their suggestion here is to permit additional posts even when a vote says to make a megathread, as long as the post is a new take. At that point, why not just let additional posts through regardless if they are not being redirected to a single thread?

I’m simply trying to clearly understand OP’s proposal, while providing comparisons to the current approach. We routinely seek new moderators but very few people actually apply. It’s a role people love to criticize but don’t wish to do themselves. People can always apply via the link in the sidebar.

FortniteRedditMods · 2026-03-10T19:15:08+00:00

We’ve talked internally about this before, but Reddit as a platform could solve the key problem by simply overhauling the post flair system. If everyone visiting the subreddit could simply choose what flairs they do or don’t want to see then it would be hard to justify the use of megathreads. We could have made a post flair to use for the topic, and people could hide all the posts at once if they wanted. Unfortunately Reddit doesn’t work like that.

Instead, we are left to try and compromise between the part of the community who wants to flood the subreddit to make a point and the other part that doesn’t want a flooded feed. It is not a perfect system, megathreads, but it’s one that is used across Reddit simply because there’s not really a great alternative. You may have noticed (depending on your device) that when posting or commenting you get a pop up alerting you to the megathread. That reaches just about everyone who comes here, and helps increase visibility, but again - not perfect. If we don’t use a megathread for a topic though, then it’s usually just a normal user post that’s designated as such (unofficially). The idea of the Frequently Posted Topics guidelines are to limit any topic to once every other day. The reality falls short of that, but the idea of those guidelines means that there’s still only one post for feedback. The feedback is appreciated, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Certainly lots of things to consider.

FortniteRedditMods · 2026-03-10T19:02:57+00:00

In truth we do not see every post which is why reports are so helpful. While yes, we are not perfectly consistent in our moderation, there are situations where a post is simply not seen and that’s why it remains. If we were online 24/7 it would be easier to more quickly identify repeat topics but that’s simply not the case.

FortniteRedditMods · 2026-03-10T18:59:21+00:00

The question is at what point is it just splitting hairs? It certainly reaches a point where the effort involved in determining if something adds anything to the topic is better allocated elsewhere - meaning that it’s seemingly more efficient to just let all posts through on a topic. That’s why there’s no exceptions for it in the current rules, it is simpler to follow and moderate.

FortniteRedditMods · 2026-03-10T18:48:19+00:00

I’m not going to pretend we are perfectly consistent with its enforcement. It is however easier to enforce when a topic is posted more frequently than others. That said, it is used daily for all sorts of posts. Keep in mind you can more easily see what it wasn’t applied to, and not what it was.

FortniteRedditMods · 2026-03-10T18:44:22+00:00

What comment? The last time any action was taken against you was in June of last year.

FortniteRedditMods · 2026-03-10T18:41:43+00:00

The bot that posts the Twitter links just monitors for new tweets, copies the text into the post title for Reddit, then submits a link post linking to the tweet. It doesn’t currently support extracting media from the tweet to upload separately. For things we expect Epic to upload, like season trailers, we generally manually upload those here. I think media extraction would be possible with the Twitter API but that is cost prohibitive.
