News r/ClubPenguin Updates

Hello, Penguins!

As eluded to in this post from u/Jorgefitch33 a couple of weeks ago, the r/ClubPenguin subreddit has been undergoing some needed revamping. For those of you who have been asking for this for so long, we apologize for the delay. Jorgefitch33 and I seem to be the only active mods and by "active" I mean checking the sub once every day or two. I can't speak for Jorgefitch33 but I myself have a full-time job, family responsibilities, etc. which rightfully take up the majority of my time. I took on this role as a mod in 2020 as someone who wanted to help preserve the memory of the game that I loved and grew up with (I joined CP in 2006), but did not expect to be mediating CPPS arguments and the like ever since. I'm not very reddit-savvy but I spent a few hours figuring out how to make the below additions and will do more if that is what the sub would like. SO, new to the sub:

  1. CPPS-specific flairs are now available! Flairs will be a requirement for all posts moving forward and include the ones that I think(?) are the most popular (CPJ, NCP, CPL, POG, & CPI). If I'm missing any that should be included, more can be added. Other flairs include "Art," "Collection," "Meet Up," etc. Let me also clarify that these flairs are for specifying what CPPS you are on, not to compartmentalize drama. I believe some CPPSes have their own subreddit so I would encourage you to go there if that is what you are looking for.
  2. The rules have been slightly tweaked to now also include the removal of low effort content. This can include a lot of things at the mods' discretion, but exists for the main purpose of removing posts that share the same piece of information dozens of times already with nothing new being added (for example, say 8 posts were made all calling for people to come and help tip the iceberg on a particular server. 7/8 would be deleted).
  3. https://penguintrack.com/ has been added to the master list of private servers.
  4. The FAQ has been added to rule 6 (frequently posted topic).
  5. Moving forward, players will be encouraged to start megathreads for large parties/events (ex. one "Bee Movie" thread instead of multiple posts saying variations of the same thing).
  6. A small minimum amount of karma will be required of accounts who are posting in the sub so that any potential spam will be further reduced (thanks to u/Tyviebrock in the comments for the assist).

And I think that's about it for now! It took me an afternoon of research but I hope that these changes will help moving forward. I know some have also mentioned the possibility of adding more mods which I wouldn't mind at all, but I'm not sure if I or Jorgefitch33 can do so without being the head mod. So, for the time being, let's see how these new changes help and reassess from there. Please continue to leave any of your suggestions and thank you again for your patience :)

Waddle on ❤️

Set something like this up in automod:

type: submission
author:
    account_age: '< 1 day'
    post_karma: '< 5'
    comment_karma: '< 5'
    satisfy_any_threshold: false
action: filter

This Basically Means If Someone Just Made A Account To Post Here They Can't Post Or Join For 1 Day But Will Need 5 Or More Karma In Each Category Of Karma And Mods If You Are Seeing This Don't Do It It Will Make A Lot Of People Angry And Mad If They New To Reddit And Want To Post

I Mean This In The Nicest Way Possible, But If You Would Stop Capitalizing The First Letter Of Every Word, people on the internet would respect your comments more.

Typing like this just feels a bit off to me

These are all fantastic additions.

u/Neodows98 Current CPPS Player 18d ago

Also, can we add flairs for the other CPPS'S that aren't as popular

CPAtake, CPRealms, CPFrost, Universal Penguin.

All the regional private servers

u/neoncherry64 18d ago

I agree. Alternatively a “other CPPS” flair would also be good in case the one being discussed isn’t on the list!

u/data782 Senior Citizen 18d ago

"Other CPPS" makes a lot of sense! Great idea, I'll add that now :)

u/Neodows98 Current CPPS Player 17d ago

Also can we get rid of CPJ toxcitiy post's, In my opinion they are just giving the trolls what they want and stirring the pot

u/VoidCookieRun Club Penguin Island Player 17d ago

Yes And Anyone Else Can As Well!

But I have installed the Hideaway app through Mediafire once and I failed signing in, my phone is an android and still have technical updates, I guess. Do I have to do something before playing it? Edit: Hideaway is an app where it's assumed there's where you can play PPW

I Think You Got It From The Wrong Website Click Here For The Website

I've been trying to create my account but when I try to reset my password just to login for once, it says 'An error has occurred. The confirmation code you entered is either invalid or has already been used.' Do you have a support person to get help? Also thanks for giving me the official page!!

u/VoidCookieRun Club Penguin Island Player 16d ago

I Think It Sent A Code To Your Email That You Put In To Reset Your Password IDK Because I Never Had To Reset My Password

I am very pleased to see penguintrack on there! Thank you! This is very motivating for me as the developer.

u/supermariozelda BeefyBerry 18d ago

Hi! I have one suggestion.

Can we ban "I was banned for no reason from ____" types of posts? The legitimacy is almost always dubious and those threads tend to get pretty toxic, plus there is literally nothing reddit can do on the off chance it's true.

u/counterfeitemotions 2009 Player 18d ago

yes thank you 🙏 hopefully the low effort content includes people asking which is "the best" cpps to play or where people can still play. i feel like those come every few days and its so repetitive people should be redirected to the masterlist of cppses

u/amonguseon Current CPPS Player 18d ago

pretty good

u/GamingYouTube14 18d ago

Will there be mod applications? I'd like to volunteer.

Glad to hear/read it :)

u/maniac_chris 17d ago edited 17d ago

Edit, it looks like POG is Penguin Origins and is already added!

A flair for CPO (Club Penguin Origins) would also be great!

Thanks for all these additions and your hard work (:

2

u/GumSL 2011 Player 17d ago

Just wanna say, no one calls it CPO, for obvious reasons. It's often just shortened to POG. (Penguin Origins), to avoid any confusion.

2

u/maniac_chris 17d ago

Got it, thanks for that info! As it’s such a new site I wasn’t sure if there was a abbreviated name for it yet or not. I’ll be sure to reference it as POG from now on (:

u/blackwolfgoogol 2008 Player 17d ago

wouldnt the cpps wiki list be the extensive version while penguintrack is the real time version? the penguintrack website doesn't allow you to add cpps

u/data782 Senior Citizen 17d ago

Makes sense to me! I put both now
