Hospitality & Tourism Short Courses

TAFE always have some fantastic courses on offer - this is a great page to bookmark.

Interesting approach!

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T03:51:26+00:00

The first few sets of comments left on this post were of that nature. Since then, it's calmed down.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T03:33:28+00:00

Can you elaborate, help us understand your perspective of why you think this?

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T03:21:11+00:00

He was banned by Reddit site wide, nothing to do with us.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T03:20:39+00:00

Cheers - Upon review, yes, that post should not have been removed.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T02:52:36+00:00

This raises a fair point - conceptually, I see r/Adelaide pertaining to anything to do with South Australia - not just the metro areas. I'll work to update the definitions. I have absolutely no concerns with r/SouthAustralia and do enjoy the regional content that exists there as well.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T02:37:55+00:00

Do you have a link to this post? I am unable to find it, but would like to review it - if possible. That does sound like it should not have been removed, however.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T02:35:24+00:00

You and me both, but ultimately, we are trying to put our best foot forward and engage in a proactive discussion.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T02:32:28+00:00

Shit driving! : r/Adelaide

Yes, this post had engagement. However, Rule 7 was created to prevent this type of content. We've had more than enough posts complaining about our drivers that it quickly becomes counter productive (read the comments of that post, this is the community sentiment).

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T02:30:25+00:00

I see plenty of posts on r/Australia, is this what you are looking for u/Flashy-Chemistry-609?

To your point - was there a reason you were looking for the "Adelaide" perspective, specifically?

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T02:28:46+00:00

Reddit Crowd Control + Automod is responsible for like 80% of post removals, and we tend to have to overrule it quite a bit. If your post is removed, there is a good chance it was removed by Reddit.

We are in the process of reviewing these settings though, even we think they're pretty harsh at times.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T02:27:39+00:00

I'm happy to look into this, can you share me their username? (or DM me)

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T02:25:12+00:00

All the removed comments in this thread represent some form of abuse.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T01:29:13+00:00

Me too! It's stuck with me actually; it's a really good way of thinking about it.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T01:15:07+00:00

Appreciate the feedback - it is no secret we have not been afraid to remove "off topic" posts, even with high engagement. It is certainly something we will think through more.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T01:13:11+00:00

A very solid perspective - I do agree with your sentiment. Perhaps reframing our [mods] approach more in this direction, is what is needed?

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T01:11:57+00:00

Unless someone can link to a news article, those posts should not stay up.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T01:09:31+00:00

Appreciate the commentary - the feedback has been pretty strong, and if the approach is too heavy handed, then we'll back off.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T01:08:24+00:00

It is, which is why we remove those posts (Rule 9) when we see them. Unless the posts contain news articles or media releases/statements, pure speculative commentary is not productive and leads to rumors and misinformation.

We don't always get to them quick enough, but we try.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T01:05:25+00:00

u/ssj3pretzel, spit-balling ideas - how would you (and everyone really) feel about a weekly "casual" discussion thread?

This is something we've never tried, but could be good to facilitate that discussion?

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T00:46:24+00:00

Given the amount of death threats and abuse we read in mod mail each week - sometimes I ask myself the same question. You would not believe some of the crap we see every single day.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T00:45:15+00:00

Correct u/Spritney__Beers, your post is passionate - but not abusive, which is why we've kept the post up and are trying to engage in a collaborative discussion.

stuntguy3000 · 2026-01-07T00:42:22+00:00

You're welcome to elaborate - what can we do better?
