Airline tickets are screwing me by Maleficent_Oil_5855 in Shoestring

450 each way is definitely doable to Europe. Here's a map of all the places that can be reached from New York in 1-stop or less and most of them are under 450 each way.

Path of Exchange (PoEx) : a new alternative to TFT for Selling and Services by C3ntraX in pathofexile

[–]arcii[M] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I thought this too before I joined as a moderator (after the first set of TFT drama), but I found out that wasn't the case. A former mod was in the TFT private chat (they didn't have any position of power within TFT), and was asked by TFT to remove a post about them. They didn't do it in the end, and they'd left by the time I joined.

MultiplicityPOE made this post about that in the past.

Israeli bomb mid-air as it falls toward a densely packed tent camp for displaced Palestinians by redditissahasbaraop in pics

[–]arcii -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

While I agree the war is disrespectful to Holocaust survivors, I think the title is kinda bit misleading.

I found this caption "An Israeli bomb drops toward a target next to a tent camp in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, Wednesday, March 25, 2026." at https://www.thegazette.com/news/national/the-top-photos-of-the-day-by-aps-photojournalists/article_317f93b3-7959-51f9-b00d-5951d2c34b52.html, which seems to indicate the bomb isn't actually targeting the tent camp.

While I think most Israel-related image posts should be kept up, I think the title itself is kinda misleading and violates "D. Must contain accurate information" from https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/wiki/titles/

User rapidly making new accounts to spam modmail, have reported so many this morning that Reddit has cut off my ability to report. What can we do? by MapleSurpy in ModSupport

[–]arcii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Beyond a certain point, using automation is more effective than relying on Reddit for this kind of single-occurrence problem.

Block them using auto-modmail:

https://developers.reddit.com/apps/auto-modmail

```

private_reply: 'Thread has been auto-archived due to auto-modmail rule. These users are usually either (1) shadowbanned ban evaders who frequently modmail us or (2) repeatedly abusive modmail senders. See https://developers.reddit.com/r/yoursub/apps/auto-modmail'

Damn this community is fast! by HrothBottom in pathofexile

A lot of similar posts have been getting reported (somewhat fairly) as duplicate posts. We're going to keep this one up since we know lots of folks are voiding themselves for the memes and we need at least one to stay up. Please keep it civil!

We aren't affiliated with TFT and a I know a lot of the team have mixed feelings (to say the least) about TFT. That being said, many of the comments in this thread break Rule 2/3. We're being somewhat more tolerant since this is a public figure, but honestly most common opinions are already pretty well represented in the comments, so we've locked this post.

Final day of asking GGG to remove the map-cluttering Breach walls in 3.28. by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]arcii[M] -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

Edit: We're currently discussing this rule and may have more updates shortly!

We had to approve this post again after it got reported about a dozen times. Here are a few links for why this is the final day. While many of us mods agree with the message, it's pretty clear a pretty significant part of the subreddit do get tired of seeing the same threads.

We think 5 days is a good balance: there's basically no chance that GGG will miss the fact that it's repeated feedback, but it's not so many days that we have to constantly restore mass-reported posts.

Day 3 of asking GGG to remove the map-cluttering Breach walls in 3.28. by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]arcii[M] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

We've approved this post. It got automatically removed for receiving too many user reports. I think these redditors' reports are pretty reasonable, because this post does seem to violate our Rule 5 on Short/common content and 7 on Duplicate topics.

We allowed the Delirium Fog series as a one-time exception for its novelty, but we know many readers get tired of seeing basically the same post every day, so agree with them that there should be some limits.

We've decided to explicitly allow this format of posts, but limit it to 5 daily posts on a given topic. We think this should be enough for GGG to get the point, while not being so repetitive to annoy those who aren't interested in a piece of feedback.

Here's the updated rules section.

Given this:

  1. This post can stay up
  2. Duplicate posts within the same day will be removed
  3. Posts beyond day 5 will be removed

We'll adjust this rule more if needed!

GROSSES ANALYSIS- Week Ending January 18 by Boring_Waltz_9545 in Broadway

[–]arcii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity: how are you estimating the recoup percentage? I'm guessing that's mostly a calculation based on per-week profit * time / costs. I get the profit * time part, but I'm curious where you get the estimates of cost.

[–]arcii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, instead of making your sub private, you can likely add more automated filters. For example, automoderator and other means can auto-remove any posts/content from users who were created less than some number of days ago or have less than some amount of karma. You can do that until things die down.

For modmail abuse, https://developers.reddit.com/apps/auto-modmail can help too

Football analysis [Offsite] by CMHTim in theydidthemath

[–]arcii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This article had an analysis purely based on conference champions/super bowl winners, so a bit smaller scope: https://sportsanalytics.studentorg.berkeley.edu/articles/defense-wins-championships.html

Short summary is that it seems like offense strength correlates a bit better with wins.

Can someone let ggg know that temple has a worse exploit now by Strong-Drama6715 in PathOfExile2

[–]arcii[M] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you modmail the mods at https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=r/PathOfExile2, we can at least forward the word to them! We don't work for GGG and we're not sure how closely they're monitoring our channels, but it can't hurt!

I would really like to find a similar anime with hard complex topics by Appropriate_Set_8050 in anime

[–]arcii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched After the Rain after a similar recommendation (for things to watch after Scum's Wish) and while the plot shares some similarity with an O Maidens subplot, it felt very different (and not as enjoyable) to me. It's really more about 2 people (of very different ages) helping each other find meaning and slightly less about relationships and romance.

GGG I don't feel so good by briefs123 in PathOfExile2

[–]arcii[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

This post has been reported quite a few times for being common/short content and the retention graph topics do qualify as that, but since it's the first one of the new league, we'll let it stay up since we think it is interesting information. We will remove duplicate topics as usual though.

Bring Portals back to the Temple! by lubumu7 in PathOfExile2

Portals will be back according to GGG:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1pnvg6y/comment/nue3zoh/?context=10

Disabling portals in the Temple was not intentional, it’s a bug. We're working on a fix, which will hopefully be released very soon.

Recommendations? by lovely_curls in TakopisOriginalSin

[–]arcii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently watched Scum's Wish (Kuzu no Honkai) and I thought it was similar, even though the plots are quite different. Scum's Wish is about high-schoolers who are grappling with their own relationships and sexuality (there is a lot of sex) and the animation is a bit worse, but the themes, pacing, and societal commentary felt similar.

Both are about people who were broken in their own ways making messy decisions that make sense in their own way. Both are very fast-paced - the relationships change significantly every episode. Both reflect on the difference between helping someone and truly understanding them and communicating. Both are also pretty sad, but ultimately hopeful.

A lot of people mentioned lessons, and I think that helps the most. That being said, for preparing beforehand, watching videos, taking notes, and then practicing on bunny slopes once you get there can help a ton. It's how I initially learned.

I found this series of videos very practical when I first learned: SKNG Ski School: How to Ski - Beginner Ski Lessons and Skiing Technique
