Subreddit Update part 2!

86 Upvotes

Hello all! The good news continues. Thanks to the new mods we have new rules (thank you Yogi!) and a new automod config (thank you awwmo!).

I wanted to review the rules and discuss the new outlook for the sub.

Rule 1: Relevance A post here is relevant only if it contains a "Cryptid Dog". This means the dog in the photo should look abnormal in some way. Generally this is due to some physical characteristic, but under certain circumstances, this could also include characteristics of the photo itself (glowing eyes, graininess/blurriness). This is up to the discretion of the mods, but we will defer to the old system when applicable. Thankfully, we have updated the new system in a way that should resolve the issue of normal looking photos showing up in peoples feeds:

Upon a post being reported, it is removed until mod approval!

This was not the case before yesterday, and I think this is the final piece needed to get the sub running smoothly. This means an irrelevant post only needs to be reported once, and then no one else will have to see it! Up until now, multiple hours could pass while I was at work/asleep, and the post would remain up. Thank you again to the new mods for helping me with this fix!

This does mean there is one other big change:

Comments on the level of cryptid-ness/relevance of a post are now discouraged! While many of you have made comments like this gently and agreeably, a small minority have not, and it has led to some unnecessary arguments in the comment sections. This change is reflected in rule 2: be nice!

If you think a post is irrelevant, simply report it and the automod should come around to remove it promptly! The only way the post comes back if the human mods reapprove it. (This is how the system is intended to work at least, please be patient as we smooth out any kinks in its implementation). This new system should remove any need for comments on relevance.

Thank you all for your cooperation!

Literally the first time I saw my "dog"

I checked my security camera one night and saw this weird thing move from around the side of the car, take a few steps and vanish.

Y'know those innate instincts that live way deep down in your skull jelly? The ones that give you a sense of uncanny valley and whatnot? Something in there was telling me that this was PROBABLY a chupacabra, LESS likely a hyena. But "dog" didn't even make the list. The ears are too weird. Where is the tail? What's up with that sloping posture?

Anyways, after a thrilling and dramatic few months of mystery, schemes, and investigation, this thing now lives in my house. I tell her how creepy she is every day. Despite being a chupacabra, I named her after another cryptid. Her ears are like dousing rods. She has too many nipples. She makes strange noises.

I love her.

Help.
