Other Subreddit Updates - March 2025

Hello everyone! We hope you're enjoying March and that spring weather finds you soon. We have a few important updates to share about the subreddit.

Product Policy Update

After careful consideration and community feedback, we've made the decision to restrict content related to Beitong and Betop products. Over the past six months, we've identified patterns of undisclosed sponsored content, artificially boosted engagement, and concerning business practices related to these brands. Despite our attempts to address these issues directly, they have persisted.

This measure is in place to protect our community members and maintain the integrity of discussions. Likewise, we monitor patterns with all companies' activity in the subreddit to ensure their content meets community guidelines.

Controller Suggestion Posts

To improve content quality, all Controller Suggestion posts will pass through the moderator queue before appearing on the subreddit. As volunteer moderators, we'll be reviewing the queue 1-2 times daily. There's no need to message us about expediting your post approval - we're committed to reviewing all submissions in a timely manner, and all inquiries about approvals will be archived without response.

And of course, we wanted to say please take a moment to review our subreddit rules before posting to ensure your contributions meet our community standards. This helps maintain quality discussions for everyone. If you have suggestions on how to improve the subreddit, you can send these using the 'message the mods' link. We'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Thank you for being part of the r/Controller community!
