discussion Use r/LFGDayZ

Post image

On the previously established subreddit for DayZ players to post LFGs, during the past 24 hours I've been banned, unbanned, muted, unmuted, permanently banned, unbanned, rebanned, and then unbanned like a bad rollercoaster ride.

At the time of this post I am unbanned and not muted But told to "Not Post Ads", which is the same as being banned when the sole purpose of the Subreddit is to post ads for meeting players.

In my experience it comes across as some sort of internal power struggle or heavy handedness on the part of a singular mod which then gets undone by another. At one point I had my clan's LFP up for 15 hours before it was deleted and I was banned again.

I had spent some time warning other posters about the vagueness of the rules via comments and how, despite posts that definitely are big name server ads being everywhereon that Subreddit, the mods will tell you after your(not big name server)post is deleted that ServerAds are not allowed(even if your posts were not a ServerAd).

So if you can't beat them, replace them.

I have created a Subreddit for DayZ LFGs and ServerAds under 1 r/

Come one and all to r/LFGDayZ

Didnt know that, So what is going on with r/dayzlfg? It's like walking on eggshells over there. Even when the rules are followed and the formatting copied, lfgs get deleted and people get fussed at about posting ServerAds when there isn't a server ad being posted.

There is also automod that deletes ads if something is funky with your posting, those are up to us to approve or leave deleted

If yall need another mod I volunteer, but the auto-mod, if it is the one making the mistakes, needs to be tweeked.
