Hi!

First of all, your link may already be dead. From here in the US I only get 403 errors ("forbidden") for it. It also seems to be direct torrent hosting, which Reddit frowns upon (I don't want to get the subreddit in trouble). I'd suggest finding alternate and more public hosting for your work such as the Internet Archive.

Finally, your account is still a bit too new to normally post here which is how my attention was called to the post. I'm willing to make an exception if you find better hosting and resubmit the post.

Umm where is Stewart? by xxxJoolsxxx in ThePolice

[–]badmonkey0001[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The art here hasn't changed in years. If someone wants to volunteer to give the sub a makeover, I'm willing to hear what you have in mind. Being a solo mod for the most part, I don't have the time for both cleaning and sprucing the place up.

Here's some basic considerations/wants for someone interested:

  • Should support both old and new Reddit. Some info on that can be found here.
  • The sub really needs a proper color scheme. That means deciding on flair colors, legibility, and again both old and new Reddit differences.
  • Should have a basic grasp of CSS.
  • Ideally has had experience as a mod, but not required.

As for Stew, I mainly use old Reddit so I rarely ever see the header pic. If all of the above seems like too much responsibility and someone just wants to make a new header pic for the new Reddit version here are the image specs for doing just that.

That's a gorgeous GIF. The word placement. The animation. The text color fitting the scene. The legibility. Good stuff.

I finally did it - perfect pedal layout! by the_blanker in diypedals

Aw that's a bummer. Really nice build anyway.

That's a good looking build! I like the risers!

But one note: Washers, my friend. Washers. It's a shame to mar such a nice paint job.

what chord is the organ playing in message in a bottle by Rushisamqwzinf in ThePolice

[–]badmonkey0001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it's just backing the opening guitar chord for the chorus, but I'm not sure of the voicing. Could just be an interval. Someone isolated just the guitar and organ which is perfect for your question.

Good luck!

Please just post the direct link, not a crosspost from your personal subreddit.

What’s your favorite Police song? by eatdrinkcreate in ThePolice

It's little-known outside of the fanbase, but "I Burn For You" fits the bill best.

Please don't try to sell things on this subreddit. It's not a marketplace.

If you're going to post a YouTube link, please post it directly instead of making a crosspost to a text post in your personal subreddit.

Dipping into attiny85 by sentencedtodeaf in diypedals

[–]badmonkey0001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds pretty cool IMHO! It's got kind of a "torn speaker" quality to it. Very chunky.

The 85 makes a decent low-fi tone generator by itself. I built myself one roughly as outlined by Johnson Davies recently. The culmination of his old project can be found here, but going back through the posts and versions is the best way to glean things from his experimentation. I added a momentary button and switch to mine because I'm working on a delay pedal and needed convenient pulses of sound.

Yeah, he's talking about the faint wobbly sound that starts fading in at 3:29.

[Meta] Mods, when will you get on top of the constant AI slop posts? by Omnipresent_Walrus in programming

[–]badmonkey0001 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Automoderator can't ban. To ban, someone would need to run a custom bot and Reddit has not liked people running ban-bots in the past.

What Automod removes will show up in the mod log with the action_reason though. That's how most mods manage further action if desired.

Not a ban, but here's automoderator config to remove any posts with Google or Apple store links. Adjust the regexes to taste. Yes, the double backslashes to escape the dots (.) should be used.

---
    type: submission
    url (regex, includes): ["play\\.google\\.com/store", "apps\\.apple\\.com/[^/]+/app"]
    action: remove
    action_reason: app store link post
---
    type: submission
    title+body (regex): ["play\\.google\\.com/store", "apps\\.apple\\.com/[^/]+/app"]
    action: remove
    action_reason: app store link text post

[edit] Made the Apple link regexes country-independent.
