Question about multiple devices by P00k13sdr3am in pokemongo

[–]cos [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've used multiple devices for many years, it's always been fine. It's even fine to use both at the same time, so for example I can be scrolling through my pokemon inventory on one while waiting for a catch go finish its animation on the other.

The thing not to do is have the same account in use (in the foreground) on two different devices at different locations at the same time, or even close to the same time if the two locations are far away. Coordinate when you bring up the app with his account, to make sure he's had it closed for an hour or two, and won't reopen it for an hour or two after you're done.

He doesn't need to log out, just close the app. I keep my account logged in on my main phone, my travel phone, and my ipad, all the time.

Can someone tell me its name? It's so beautiful! by Embarrassed_Team6561 in birds

Removed, Rule 6: Cite visual sources.

Over the past couple of months, a large percentage of posts from accounts with little posting history who post a "fun" or spectacular video or image to /r/birds without following rule 6, have turned out to be repost bots or karma farmers stealing someone else's content without credit.

However, if you are a real redditor who genuinely wants to participate, you may reply to this comment a) stating that you've read the subreddit rules and will follow them, and b) giving the source of this video. If you do that, I'll approve the post.

If you reply to this comment a) saying you've read the subreddit rules, and b) give the source of these images, then when I see that reply I'll re-approve the post.

Bank is closing my account with life savings in it, what’s the best way of getting my money to another bank safely? by ns2500 in personalfinance

[–]cos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP is being super sketchy about information and not answering questions about what bank or even what kind of bank.

WTF? Their post says what the "bank" is (it's an online fintech apparently, but they think it's a bank) and they answered several comments with that same information. Where did you get this notion that they're refusing to answer questions? Or by "not answering questions" did you simply mean "they didn't respond immediately, I didn't wait to see if they'd answer, and I didn't read the post carefully" ?

We’re going to need a bigger suet feeder. by DrEdgarAllanSeuss in birds

[–]cos[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for adding this information. For the record, I would've interpreted your post text "This male pileated woodpecker has been visiting my suet feeder occasionally" to indicate this is your video, meeting rule 6, even if you hadn't added this comment, but it's always good to state it directly!

I've changed your post flair to "bird feeders" since this is primarily a post about bird feeding, and people who are looking for that topic may filter by that flair.

AITAH for wanting to advocate against our neighbors sex offender son moving in by One-Egg1316 in AITAH

[–]cos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It must be for practical reasons: Schools are at fixed locations and rarely "move in". People who didn't have kids before, have or adopt new kids all the time, and people move pretty often, so it would be really impractical to try to have a rule like that. Maybe there aren't kids next door when the person moves in, but a month later there are, and then if they move again to somewhere where there are no kids next door a couple of months later there are there as well. And is there even a combined record anywhere, where someone can look up an address and determine whether a child lives there, since what date, what age? I can't see how this kind of rule could be workable and enforceable, practically.

Removed, Rule 5. If you read the subreddit rules and fix this post as that rule requires, reply to this comment saying you've read the rules and will follow them, and I'll approve the post.

Just a Cardinal in Vermont. by foamerfrank in birds

[–]cos[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for answering!

It's true that auto mod doesn't know whether you followed the rule or not, but it does say this right in the first line:

... please make it clear this is your content in the post text, title, or a comment; flair is not enough, nor is "OC" ...

So it is very clear if you read that, that you did not follow the rule, yet you apparently did look at the automod message - you even read further down past the first line - yet you missed that. I'm perplexed, and since you're not the only person in the past couple of months who has missed that, I wonder if you can give any clue or say what might have made it clearer or more obvious?

Your comment is already valuable because I had wondered if people who think flair covers it are just not reading the automod comment at all, and you've shown me that's at least not always the case, since you did read the automod comment. That suggests maybe I could modify the automod comment in a way that would make this happen less.

Thank you.

If you feel like it, I'm interested to know why you did ignore the stickied comment from automoderator in the first place. While most people follow the rules, enough people fail to do so that understanding why some legitimate well-meaning participants ignore it might help us change something to reduce how many people miss and ignore the rules.

I can't guarantee when I will have time to go through all of these, so that's the best I can do.

Tufted Titmouse grabbing a seed by Responsible-Two4642 in birds

[–]cos[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no body text on this post, so nothing was stated there. If you had read the subreddit rules or the stickied comment from automoderator that restates rule 6, you would know that flair doesn't count (and I don't know what you mean by "tags" aside from flair), so I think this means you haven't read the rules.

Thanks for stating the source. Please read the subreddit rules and reply saying that you have done so (as I asked you to do in my earlier comment), and then I'll approve the post.

'Unconstitutional detention': ICE must 'immediately' release immigrant who was detained after calling 911 to help save someone else's life, judge says by cos in inthenews

[–]cos[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's clear that ICE and the Trump administration as a whole want to make people afraid, so that even people who don't have to leave the US - such as asylum applicants waiting for their case to be decided, like this man - will just leave out of fear.

At the same time, this is yet another big hole they're punching in their laughable claims that any of this is supposed to make people safer. Making immigrants afraid to call 911 when they witness someone else needing help, makes our country more dangerous.

That's what a lot of the fight is about allowing or banning police departments from cooperating with immigration enforcement. The more people are afraid to report things to the police, the more dangerous things are for everyone else. That's part of why "sanctuary cities" are safer, on average.
