MOD ANNOUNCEMENT May 1, 2024 update - Revamp

6 Upvotes

After a decade of moderator inactivity, we've decided to start May off by doing some spring cleaning here. What has changed:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Broken user flairs have been completely removed and new ones have been put in place. This should fix the blank user flair issue. We may add more flairs soon.
  • Added 2 rules to remind users to follow Reddiquette (civility) and keep posts on topic, making it easier to report any violating content.
  • New subreddit banner. If you have any other banner artwork you'd like us to use, send it in the ModMail. This is just a temporary banner.
  • Colored post flairs.
  • New wiki page explaining the most common types of irony as well as helpful examples. (Link)
  • Going forward, we will make an effort in removing bot spam and other completely irrelevant posts. Make sure you report violating content so we can handle them faster.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Feel free to use the ModMail to suggest any ideas. Thank you for all your support over the years. Have fun delving into the marvels of irony!

Pretty ironic, considering they claim to be pro-life, and when I bring up a senseless child death by cop, they got problems

Conservatives in the US rail on about the destructive nature of transgenderism and how it's being forced into children by the radical left in their public schools, then they're the ones introducing it to the children by bombarding them with ads.

Ironic Tornado, West Virginia has no documentation of a tornado within town limits.

Despite its name and the origin of the name, since its founding in 1851 and official name choice in 1881, Tornado, West Virginia has never been struck by a tornado. It was named after a tornado that had struck the river area near the town, but that tornado never truly hit town limits. What's ironic about this is that Tornado sits in the most tornado-prone county in West Virginia, Kanawha County.

Yet to see if more to this remains; it's entirely possible that Groot was going with meta- or Socrates- style irony and i missed it; but we shall see; I'll keep us posted if anyone is interested.

INDIA has personal data stolen by AI agents.
AI agents from multiple providers accessed personal data and confidential material at Indian organizations during research and testing.
This seriously feels like an Onion article.
