The only thing that actually needs locking down here is the comment and submission section. Noobs should be able to see what we discuss and have the potential to subscribe but they should not be allowed to shit up the comment section with retarded attempts at topically related wit nor submit 'omg red pill workz' posts.

It needs locking down and be on invite only. I don't want /r/truealreadyred.

Recently /r/TRP has been swamped and it really, really shows. I enjoy comin. Here and seeing not one single shit, useless submission versus /r/TRPs three quarters or higher noise to signal ratio.

Having a bunch of people isn't going to create a bunch of noise. Unlike TRP, us mods have no pitty for fuckery and noobish behavior. We have and will continue to delete and ban people we don't think are ready to participate.

We are currently discussing how we will implement these restrictions. Personally, I don't want the sub to go private, because there are a lot of people who would benefit from this place that would miss out if it went private. Mind you, most people are lurkers. Only 1% of the people that visit reddit actually comment. For instance, just so far today, there have been 1000 unique visitors with a total of 5000 page views.

There also are already private TRP subs. But that's not what AR is about. We aren't trying to be an exclusive club, rather a sub dedicated to quality. Those that were personally invited were because a mod thought you were red enough to participate. Those that joined on their own shouldn't be a problem, because like I said, we strictly moderate this sub and have no problems banning fools.

When I was invited, I was surprised to learn it is not an invite only/locked sub--I don't see a good reason for it not to be, especially to be in line with the sidebar's message as you stated.

Related.

beyond this, i'd rather people who troll trp don't find out about this and start trolling here as well. i've been really happy to be invited here because the content reminds me of how the trp sub was about 10 months ago. i'd suggest the mods/the users do what we can to maintain the clearest signal here.

2014-02-27T15:45:59+00:00

everyone, including the newbies, will subscribe and spread their shit here

There have been many discussions on how to best implement this sub to avoid "signal" loss and garbage posts. I think the current policy of only allowing endorsed subscribers to make new posts while everyone can comment on an existing post should work just fine.

There was also talk about limiting the influx of users once we reach a certain threshold using various techniques (invite, open x days a month, etc), but it all depends on how the post quality changes.

I agree, I like the main redpill sub, but I'd also like to have a place that has a higher quality membership - a sort of inner circle of redpill gentlemen if you will.

2014-02-26T12:41:14+00:00

I agree, as a non red newbie idiot I feel I shouldn't be allowed to post here.

anarqy · 2014-03-07T02:05:51+00:00

Wasn't invited here, and I know im not qualified yet to make posts but this sub should be locked down to only invites. The content here is rich while trp seems to be getting poorer. Keep it up guys

2014-03-08T21:13:41+00:00

I don't belong on this sub in terms of redness, but reading the deeper level RP material has my interest. Locking the sub would just take that away from lurkers like myself that are seeking new levels of understanding.

It's not like this is a private subreddit. Anyone can join and post. If all the masses know about this subreddit because people are mentioning it in TRP, everyone, including the newbies, will subscribe and spread their shit here.

There will be no inundation of shit posts because there can't be. All submissions and comments have to be approved before they become visible, unless the poster is on the approved submitter list. Granted, mods can fuck up and not read through something thoroughly enough, but meh.

We don't like the sub advertised but it's not like we can control that. We can, and do, control what gets posted here though. As far as we've discussed, there is not much support for making it private because that at least partially defeats the purpose of it. In case it's needed though, we can take further action to secure the sub, without making it private.

There are already badges. I was given one, I don't know by who. So maybe a mechanism where noobies can lurk and read and subscribe but only those who are "badged" can comment and submit content. That way, signal-to-noise is cut down but we also allow the noobs to see what high-level understanding of TRP is.

Or we could go ahead and make it invite-only. This would require a larger commitment on the part of the mods and members of the sub, and it would mean more argument about who gets in vs. who doesn't which would detract from the overall tone and direction of the sub, but would allow for better quality control.

I like the former, as being invite only is a pretty large commitment on the part of the mods, and by only allowing badges we can use that as a temporary step as we figure out something more permanent.

I do agree that there needs to be guidelines for advertising this sub. I think we should only allow endorsed contributors like /u/IllimitableMan or /u/GayLubeOil to post links here. That would keep the knowledge of this place to a minimum while still exposing it to those who are looking for something a little less shit than what TRP father sub has become.
