Read the "New" section before posting!

Darling Mods - as has been pointed out many times, people don't need to come to the sub page to post. In fact, it's impractical for many to do so as they post from a Phone or Tablet. That is why there are these new fangled buttons on websites like youtube where you post by hitting a button marked reddit - select a sub and post.

You should be aware also that depending upon how the page is served up to you it is quite possible for the inbuilt Reddit Code that detects duplicates don't work, especially if your ISP is serving up a cached page and not the original. A Certain level of duplication is inevitable - and in some cases, we have the original URL and an Archived URL to get round Paywalls. I just wish the bloody coding mob would stop shifting the goal posts.

Having moderated many sites over that last 25 years I know the frustrations that accompany being a mod - the thanklessness - the drudge - the lonely hours - the playing mummy and saying the same thing over and over and getting zero Correct Reaction.

I suggest we have a sticky for a week where Mods are to be praised as Gods - Saluted - Exaulted - and made to feel good about modding. It should be an annual event, with Praise The Mods Week.

AS For Flairs - They are a pain but it's not always clear what applies and how. Mind you I'm overly glad to see that we now have a flair for "Humour" as it was getting so stuffy and huffy here with so many Redditors having overly large sticks up their asses 24/7 and no ability to get off their high horses.

Keep Up the Good Work!

Stunning work.

I'm actually surprised to see this. From my experiences in the past I already considered the modding side of r/MensRights a lost case. I'm really happy to see this topic being adressed now.

Related to this, did you configure some kind of spam filter against reposts of the same URL? That would probably also cut it down a bit.

The thing is I don't even think most of these posters as you've suspected are human's. They're spammers, some make honest mistakes and that's fine, but you look at how they're posting and it's just a link, that's it, they're not interested in posting anything else.

Can't +1 this enough.

I realise sorting out reposts etc. if you're on a mobile platform may be a little complex, but try - it makes it easier for everyone.

The "flair" button is right below the text after you've posted it.

There's a flair button now?
