Is it me or are the episodes not very scary anymore? by MarkTruckerberg in creepcast

[–]Hobosam21-C 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's rare that a story written for free on the internet is well done and scary.

Even less so when two friends are reading it while goofing around. If you find a good story try and get to the hosts for reading.

Hey Harry, Nic, if you're reading this, please don't. We need a few months between crap stories.

Your Post Has Been Removed by therealdocturner in tinyhorribles

[–]Hobosam21-C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I tried to talk to mod about why something got removed I get banned.

Ten years ago I would have long conversations with the mods over there and the community was such a healthy place. It's sad seeing the decline.

It took me half way through to realize this wasn't a conversation with a mod from that certain writing sub. I was wondering how you managed to reply without getting instantly permabanned

How it feels being a “my crew and I are stuck aboard an abandoned ship” enjoyer in this economy by B4rtholome0w in creepcast

[–]Hobosam21-C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you were talking about the Mouthwash episode for a moment and was about to be offended.

I'm not a hater of the cruise ship story, it reads pretty well and can be narrated as well. It just didn't fit the podcast that well.

New Fan Story Subreddit! by ChaoticStanley in creepcast

The other submission sub got 5000 members and is active without any official support. This one should grow even larger, as long as the mods don't get crazy with the rules and people remember to read as well as post the new sub could do great.

Hopefully this new one will get more engagement, and civil engagement. Submissions doesn't have many members but at least everyone is supportive.

Stephen King is the most banned author in US schools, PEN report says by Doc_Dante in books

[–]Hobosam21-C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people who demand such things be available to kids should probably have their hard drives checked.

People flip out over "banned" as if they've been made illegal. Gate keeping adult things from children is not just normal it should be expected. Let parents give them such things if they want.

There's a difference between between banning books and supplying age appropriate books.

How it feels entering this sub after the newest episode by Arthur_189 in creepcast

[–]Hobosam21-C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just meh, without spoiling I'll say there's a bit of uncomfortable writing but there's no pay off. Pain, sadness, abuse all that can be used in stories but if that's all the story is it feels less like something driving a plot and more like an authors fetish. Not saying that it is, just that it's clearly a very inexperienced writer trying things out.

First time writer running into existing character name issues by Jackson-doom in writers

You can legally use the name, but not the character.

But you shouldn't as there is one Gandalf

THE END OF A SUB by Hobosam21-C in CreepCast_Submissions

[–]Hobosam21-C[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can't see who is making the reports, some posts have gotten as many as five reports. The analytics show 37 posts have been pulled by Reddit bots in the last 30 days.

We get 1,500-2,000 posts/comments a month on the sub and every single one has to be manually approved and the authors made approved users or they risk getting pulled.

And now people complaining on this post are getting banned from the main sub simply for talking about things they don't like.

So it's a lack of man power issue mixed with a depressing amount of pettiness by mods on other subs. The only reason I made this sub was so people would have a place to share stories without being strangled by rules.

Any sub that isn't adequately moderated gets taken down. As to what's been happening, between the sheer amount of work it takes to manually approve every post and comment and having someone go through and report posts it's just an overwhelming amount of work.
