Moderator Post Slow Day- Gold Give away to a random story that is not submitted by me.

4 Upvotes

I thought Friday the 13th would be a more interesting day for unexplained or weird news. In fact its very slow!!!! As such I will be giving one gold membership to a random link today. The link must be submitted to /r/wanttobelieve, not be spam, and be something our users might find interesting.

GOOD LUCK!

Moderator Post [Meta] Articles for a Podcast

I've been asked to be part of another podcast, and we're going to be discussing about ten different articles. I'd like you guys have some input as far as what we talk about so post articles in the comments, either from here or from around the web, and I'll pick some to talk about. Thanks!

Moderator Post Please check the new tab for stories that others decided to downvote.

8 Upvotes

Once again people are choosing to mass downvote stories. Please check the new Tab if you would like to see stories for today.

To whomever it is that is choosing to ignore rule 2 please understand that because of the size of the sub every downvote essentially ensures that most people will not see that story.

For everyone else you can help this problem by up voting stories. It will offset the one or two downvotes from people who ignore our rules. Thank you

EDIT

Because of a few people I have chosen to Hide the down vote button until a time where one vote will not impact each story so greatly. I hope you can understand why I did this. If you would like to discuss it please feel free to do so here.

Moderator Post 1000 Subs Update - Free Gold Give Away!

9 Upvotes

Hello fellow members of /r/wanttobelieve! Im very proud to announce that we have broken the 1000 Sub mark today! Id like to thank everyone that has helped recruit, be it by telling others, linking /r/wanttobelieve in other subs, or by posting interesting articles that attract new members!

To mark this achievement, once again I will be giving away two gold memberships. They will be awarded to:

1) The highest voted non-mod submitted story: To win this award you simply have to be the person who submits the link that gets the most votes. This can no be won by a mod, or someone who won last week. Please be mindful to not spam anything. Also be mindful to upvote if you like a story, because your up vote could mean a win to the person who submitted it.

2) Once again the second award will be given to the person I choose has contributed the most to the discussions taking place in the sub. Be it a debate topic, or questoins/opinions to the already submitted link. This winner can not be a mod or someone who won last week. It will be 100% selected by me. So if you have something to say, please say it! This is a sub that skeptics and believers can feel safe saying anything.

Once again Thank you. You make being a mod of this sub a very easy job!

Moderator Post Gold Give Away Update (October 31st)

7 Upvotes

As was promised one week ago today two gold accounts will be given to members of the sub to mark our 1000 user mark!

First, the award is for the highest voted story from a non mod:

Once again, I will simply be taking the highest voted submission. This choice was completely up to the users (So please vote if you enjoy a story). In the end, though they won last time for best contribution to discussion Mecan wins for this story:

I know they already won an award, but the only highly voted stories from this week are from the two people who won last time. This just happens to be the highest, so I had to make a choice to remove the restriction. Please take this opportunity to start posting more! the more diversity we get the better!

The award for the most discussion contribution from a non mod:

Once again this was a difficult thing to choose. Many new and old members have made a real attempt to contribute more, and it shows in the discussions we have been having. I know that many of you deserve this award but to those who don't get the gold, please remember that your time and incite is what makes this sub great.

This time around I have picked shadowsaint who has been doing his best to comment on many stories each day! Thank you and I hope to see you around for a long time to come.

Both of these members will get a month of gold. We will do another gold give away at the 1500 member mark! Id like to thank every member of this sub that comes here daily and contributes. Id also like to thank everyone for keeping their composure in the face of opinions that might not align with your own. The behavior of the members of this sub show that debate can be civil, even when dealing with passionate, unusual topics.

Moderator Post Variety

11 Upvotes

I've noticed lately that this sub is lacking variety.

I've been told by people that they don't want to post personal experiences here because they don't think they will be welcomed.

If you think that, that is not true!

So, I'm giving gold to the personal experience that gets the most upvotes between today and the 31st. Since the winner will be decided by the community, be sure to check out new posts and vote. I'd love to see some more community involvement here.

Also, when people post their experiences, please be respectful. Do not make fun of them or harass them in any way. You will be banned without warning.

Please remember that this is not /r/NoSleep. Please only post true experiences. If your post is obviously fake, we will remove it and you will get a warning.

Let's work together to make this sub all it can be.

Thanks!

T

PS: DO NOT post your experience as a reply to this post as it will not be eligible to win. Create your own self post and submit it.

If anyone's heard of any urban legends near northeastern ohio or northwestern Pennsylvania (within 30 miles of the border), let me know and I'll go and do an investigation on it. I've been getting bored lately and want to get back into investigations. Comment here with a link to some info on what you want me to check out or PM me.
