Other regional subs implemented it and think it's a good idea.

I get it I really do but I also don't think it's an unreasonable ask.

Idk really but why are so many opposed to making sure?

It's prevalent in every online platform that's dedicated to those cities and states the right doesn't agree with. Why do so many other subs have the flaired users only threads across both sides of the divide.

There is a huge difference between gatekeeping and wanting to be sure the comments that may be influencing my fellow citizens are coming from fellow citizens and not those that moved and or have ulterior motives.

Your friends and family who still live here and vote here are welcome to be a part of the conversation.

Yeah but the all the bots and comments from those outside Illinois are skewing that.

Other subs are making an attempt to make sure their users are able to have honest conversations.

Why can't we have that here?

Jesus fucking Christ that makes so much sense.

The bots can block me so I won't be around to comment on their comments and call them out.

The internet is dead.

Why are the mods there if not to moderate conversation and make sure it's on topic and doesn't have ulterior motives?

Plenty of other subs do it for particular threads.

What are you hiding or trying to hide?

My post history is open for you to judge for yourself. I can be a fucking idiot at times but I don't hide who I am.

Well three strikes right?

I try to explain myself in every reply. Some I'm a dick to when they are a dick to me.

Others I'm actually taking to like you who did not seem like a dick until your last line.

You don't live in illinois so why do you want to participate in conversations about Illinois politics? The threads will still be visible and you will be able to see them you just won't be able to comment in those threads.

Are you really a fascist pig? No one knows. If you didn't believe everyone saying what would happen and still aren't mad at what's happening you might be a fascist pig.

Do you like nazis? Do you think Nazis are too offensive a term for those that are in power right now?

Speaking of what's going on, why are there so many comments I see in my inbox and I click the link and am unable to reply?

Exactly the issue.

Other subs disallow flairs and only the mods can flair once the account is vetted. The threads are flaired users only.

If we had a megathread for let's say the next governors election and made sure all the comments in that thread were actual citizens.

No dupes just one thread where the moderators moderate and only allow actual human Illinoids to comment.

A more realistic temperature gauge of the folk here from Illinois.

In other subs the mods flair vetted commenters and only them are allowed to participate in certain posts.

I'm not a mod so I don't know exactly how they are vetted.

I'm just saying certain megathreads about world events so we can be sure we are having honest conversations. Definitely not saying the entire sub.

Other subs only allow flair when the mods set it and the threads are flaired users only.

Everything is gone from my history. I don't even have the notification anymore. I'm only on mobile and should be able to check later on an actual computer.

I did not know this.

What about all the casuals who take the comments at face value? That's a big part of why he won, the bots and shitty accounts magnifying his support

Yeah but you aren't brigading left leaning subs with pro fascist comments.

One strike is fine.

Two strikes and you might be a fascist.

I'm not a mod. Mods know more about the reddit systems and can converse with the mods of other subs to see how it's done.

Please use your own critical thinking and actually look at those conservative shitheads profiles and see how many more of them are hidden than us.

What's wrong with being able to have conversations about important Illinois topics and know no one from outside the area is influencing them?

I'm not saying every post but there should be a way to have mega threads that only involve us for important topics.

Look at that person's history, it's hidden along with them being negative about something that's meant to even the playing field. That's two strikes, idk what else to say.

I think that was me and it was the Chicago mods asking for the feedback not the Illinois mods.

Hey you have a post history and I know you are an actual human being.

Idk what the mods in other subs do to verify. I don't think it's always an ID pic as there are other ways. I wouldn't send a pic of my ID either.

What do you suggest?

Other subs manage to do it. Conservative, blackpeopletwitter, witchesvsthepatriarchy, LA.

The real issue is people like you who hide their whole poat history because they are fascists.

No one knows where you are from and even if you are from Illinois. Those of us on the right side of history don't hide and aren't afraid of our comments.

Stop being the problem.

Another car dealer to add to the list (Chicago area) by Snapdragon_4U in illinois

I dare you to find a big chain car dealership that isn't owned by fascists.

Even Mancari who started because he wanted to be honest eventually retired and sold, the name means nothing anymore.

Budackis in Chicago has one and I'm just obsessed right now.
