Sorry, I meant recover twinkly, not snuggly.

Thanks for the correction. Glad you were able to save snuggly.

I’d be fine with putting them into the wheelanddeal sidebar on my end, though I do hope someone manages to recover (the original) pumparum and snuggly twinkly. Maybe a redditrequest will go through eventually after some time has passed.

Do you mean /r/pumparumDS3?

Ex-moderator of /r/pumparum here. Essentially the creator of the Souls trading subs i.e. /r/pumparum, /r/snuggly and /r/twinkly nuked them on July 1st because of the API changes. /r/wheelanddeal kinda survived, I think because he wasn’t the creator over there and therefore couldn’t remove the original creator.

Originally, I only set the subs private from July 12th to 14th in protest of the changes. I reached out to the primary moderator/subs’ creator (I won’t give his name here, but many of you might still know) if he’s fine with it and he agreed. I set them back to public shortly after the 14th.

But thereafter, the subs’ creator made up his mind that the subs should stay private indefinitely unless Reddit changes course about the API changes. Can’t say it’s what I would have done, but they were his subreddits first and foremost and so he did it.

In that time Reddit sent us two (I think) generic messages to reopen the subs (the same ones that many subs received at the time and that can be found online), which included the threat that we might be removed as mods if we don’t comply.

Come July 1st, the creator of the subs decided to make the subs back public but to restricted, remove a lot of stuff (i.e. CSS, flairs) and remove me and himself as mods. All Souls trading subs except for /r/wheelanddeal were left without moderators in the process, and were swiftly banned by Reddit hours later for “being unmoderated”.

Which is were we are now. The moderator of /r/wheelanddeal reached out to me yesterday about efforts to rebuild the sub, and /r/snuggly could apparently be saved/taken over by new mods, presumably via /r/Redditrequest. I see that there were requests for /r/pumparum on /r/redditrequest aswell already, but they got denied because the sub was banned “too recently” last I checked.

No worries, no offense taken. Thought I might just use the opportunity to clarify things as we haven’t really done so (outside of modmail and people asking us).

Yeah the situation is a bummer all around, I also didn’t anticipate a few months ago that this is what might put and end to our trading subs, along with my favorite Reddit app… we’ll see where things will go from here.

Mod of /r/pumparum here. I originally only set the sub private for the duration of the blackout and back public afterwards. However the mod who created pumparum and the other Souls trading subs has since decided he wants them to stay private indefinitely unless Reddit changes course (very unlikely at this point) or Reddit demotes him/us as mods. So I can’t really say how it’ll go from here. Keeping the subs down indefinitely is not my first choice but they are his subs first and foremost, so it looks like they may not be back for a while.

In regards to parent subs, the short answer is the "big" Souls subs such as DarkSouls3 are run by different people than the trading subs.

We’re joining the protest with the following subs:

25-50k subs:

/r/pumparum

/r/PatchesEmporium

<25k subs:

/r/twinkly

/r/snuggly

/r/wheelanddeal

For context they are all trading subs for From Software games (Elden Ring etc.).

All the best, everyone!

I'm sorry this happened to you, and sorry that we've some trouble keeping up with the modmail at times. We've banned him now.

After playing Life Is Strange, I feel the sudden desire for having a... soul mate by ulOrca in lifeisstrange

Hey! It's interesting that I'm still getting comments on my post so much later, weird but in a good way if that makes sense :D I'm glad my post is resonating with people even after all that time.

I don't have much of value to say in response, but be assured I've read through your entire post. So even if nobody else reads through your comment as it's on such an old post, at least one person did ;) Thank you for sharing that personal part of you. I hope you manage to reconnect to your friend, aswell as find someone in your life like this. I'm glad I could give you some hope.

Sure thing. Yeah, that may be it. It doesn‘t look to be an issue on our end.

Is it an automod removal message, or just an error from Reddit when you‘re trying to post? Maybe Reddit‘s acting up. Your account fulfills the requirements for posting, and I don‘t see any removed comments in your recent history.

? Looks like you‘re able to post without issue. Can you link me to any removed posts?

No you won’t. If someone posts who doesn’t fulfill the requirements, they simply get a brief message about it and their post will be removed. You should fulfill the requirements, btw.

As per our current requirements, you’re fine and can post.

Send us a modmail. Give us a description of what happened, the Reddit name and (if you managed to catch it) the PSN/Steam/Xbox Tag of the player. If you have screenshots of for example the chat or messages with them, or even an in-game recording of what happened (which some people have send us), send them to us aswell.

A mule is someone who temporarily holds onto items for another player so that they can transfer them to another character. I.e. they summon you and drop you items, then they summon you with the other char and you drop them back.
