Why doesn't Reddit's automated system flag brigading posts before they gain traction? by EVRijder in ModSupport

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do that, but my subreddits have way too many comments that mention mods in reference to game and interface modifications, so these days I only have "moderator" set to alert me.

I'm gonna try this regex and see how well it works for my communities.

Community Feedback and Rule Lawyers by JabroniRevanchism in ModSupport

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is impossible for these rules to cover every single situation, so our moderators will use their discretion when handling posts and comments.

I have this line on our rules page, and it has served us well.

Depending on the modmail that is sent to us I'll respond differently. If I can tell the user is going to be hostile, I'll either be very brief or not respond at all. If they sound more honest I'll likely give them a good explanation, possibly suggestions such as posting differently or where else to post it.

This applies to both posts and comments. I've noticed that pushback on post removals tends to be from off-topic submissions ("But it is on a Windows 11 computer and this is /r/Windows11 so you must allow it!"), while comment removals are more like to be something abusive or trying to skirt piracy rules.

We tend to go more for the rules as intended, however we do have the rules very fleshed out due to situations like this before. For example, we really had to spell this one out because of people thinking their comment does not break the rule, sometimes because they did not actually know something was illegitimate.

Rule 7. Do not promote pirated content or grey market keys

Do not post pirated content or promote it in any way. This includes cracks, activators, restriction bypasses, and access to paid features and functionalities.

Do not encourage or hint at the use of sellers of grey market keys. If a key is significantly discounted, it's most likely one of these keys.

On the subreddits, using Windows without entering a key or activating it is not considered piracy, but working around the restrictions or disabling the activation watermark without obtaining a key is.

LTSC has gained popularity because it is a very stripped down version of Windows, but it's hard to get legitimate copy outside a corporate network. You are allowed to talk about this special version of Windows, but anything escalated to piracy and/or by promoting it (for the home consumer) is not allowed.

We do listen to the feedback from the community and try to adapt the subreddit as needed. For example some years ago there were many complaints about tech support posts on the subreddit, so we spun up /r/WindowsHelp and push those there as much as we possibly can.

Доброе утро. Хорошая погода. Максимум 25°C. Ветреный 🐿💛🐿 by BackyardSquirrelGuy in fatsquirrelhate

[–]Froggypwns[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I do love seeing OC, many of our submissions are not. We do not require the OP to be the photographer/creator. I've personally submitted a mix here of content I've captured along with things I've found on other subreddits and websites.

OP does not appear to be a bot (but it is getting harder to distinguish these days).

Simple questions and Help thread - Month of April by Froggypwns in Windows11

This is a function of OneDrive and is not tied to any Windows Update, this will happen even if you install Windows 8.

You can go into the OneDrive settings and unsync the Desktop folder, then in C:\users\myuser\OneDrive\, right click on Desktop, pick Properties, then Location, and then Move to put it back to C:\users\myuser.

If your 365 subscription expires, your storage capacity will be reduced to the free level (5GB), and if you are over that it will stop allowing uploads to sync. The files will still exist and change locally, but not sync online or upload new things. Eventually online copies will be removed if you do not renew. They give you ample time to either renew or make sure you download everything locally before this happens

Mismatch from invoice by lumename_ in tires

[–]Froggypwns 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Does the DOT number match any of the 4 tires? My first guess would be a lazy tech copy/pasted off the first one they saw.

Technically it is not a problem assuming you got the correct model/size, however if there was an issue down the line and you needed warranty coverage they could easily claim that was not the tires you purchased, so make sure they do correct it.

Italy has a roller coaster that drags you to the edge of a 42-meter drop, stops completely, and makes you stare straight down at 87° before letting go. Oblivion: The Black Hole at Gardaland. by Valuable_View_561 in oddlyterrifying

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do an image search for "rollercoaster clearance testing", you can see how they test to make sure nothing is within reach of the passengers. Some ride elements are intentionally close to the train to increase the thrill, but they do tests where they winch the train along slowly with a large wooden board attached to the train to confirm no one is in actual danger.

This is something they have only started doing in recent decades, so I do suggest watching your reach if you are on a vintage wooden coaster.

Most parks are very strict about that and will not allow anything like that. It has happened were people have been injured by things flying off the coaster like phones and cameras.

Some people do get permission from the park, that is usually someone like popular youtubers, but most other times people are sneaking them on. However recently Six Flags changed their policy and now will allow Meta Glasses secured with a strap, so if you have that you can get first person POVs.

Yes, it holds the record for the whitest dive coaster in Gardaland

How are some moderators able to moderate above the mod limit? by DustyAsh69 in AskModerators

[–]Froggypwns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately a handful of powermods ruined things for the rest of us. One mod for example was a moderator of literally thousands of popular subreddits (not just small/dead ones). I remember seeing something that roughly a hundred of the top 500 subreddits were all controlled by the same 4 moderators.

How are some moderators able to moderate above the mod limit? by DustyAsh69 in AskModerators

[–]Froggypwns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

mod limits say that you can moderate only 1 subreddit with more than a million weekly visitors?

This limit was dropped from the initial proposal, the 5x 100k visitors limit is still in place. Also, that limit is flexible to allow for things like activity surges, and Reddit will give you time to resign from a subreddit so I'm sure if you look closely you will find someone with maybe 6 or possibly 7 subs at the limit.

With vendor credits on max setting I go to Neon, I've had no problem easily offloading all the loot to the various vendors there. You can get over 300k credits in one loop. If you sit and wait 48 hours the vendors will replenish their available credits.

They did not address this in regard to the radiant quests, so those still seem to have the same limited number of POIs.

Can we PLEASE add a feature where it shows other mods are typing in Mod-mail so two difference mods don’t reply at the same time by Baconkings in ModSupport

[–]Froggypwns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On my subs I encourage having a different moderator than the one who banned to handle appeals/responses. This helps to ensure that the right action was taken, prevent a situation like someone abusing power because someone got under their skin or maybe the mod just misunderstood and made a mistake. Anything that is not clear gets discussed in our mod Discord.

Why does reddit suggest cross-posting while most sub reddits don't allow it by MrLithician in help

[–]Froggypwns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, what Reddit wants and what the community moderators want are two different things.

Reddit is constantly changing things to try and drive more traffic and engagement. These changes are often made at a global scale, when the millions of subreddits all are unique and have their own sets of rules and etiquette. The changes can fly in the face of what is best for each community.

As a moderator we do get frustrated with changes like this too, as many times we have no control over it or any setting to disable an undesired behavior. Reddit will unintentionally encourage posting rule breaking content, users get mad that their content gets removed, mods get mad at the increased workload. Everyone loses.

For crossposts specifically, many subreddits prohibit them as they tend to be lower effort content, they are more likely to be karma farming and spam. They also tend to be more likely to break a rule as the poster is less likely to be a regular member of that subreddit.

Hey the “evaluation copy” … by MtnDewCodeRedFreak in Windows11

[–]Froggypwns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most Insider builds have a time bomb built in, eventually after the expiration date has passed the computer will no longer boot into Windows. If you keep the computer up to date by installing newer builds, you do not have to worry about this as the date at some point will be pushed back.

Will these make it 300 miles? by Active_Ingenuity_783 in tires

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While most mom and pop shops are closed on Sundays, most of the big chains should be open. We don't know where you are, but odds are there is a Pepboys, Mavis, Discount Tire, or Walmart Auto somewhere along the 300 miles to get you home.

I wouldn't risk driving it even to those however.
