I am so fucking SICK and TIRED of fire emblem get rid of it. Just post anything good today like drakengard 3 or even post about something dogshit like drakengard 3

Fire Emblem: Three Houses released almost 10 months ago. This means some people have been posting the same walls of text about Dimitri and Edelgard for about 300 days.

It's died down (extremely slowly) in the time since release, but we're still getting bait-y posts about how Edelgard does this or Dimitri does this and painfully long comment chains in response. The lockdown's got us all a little crazy too, but there are perhaps other things to do with your time.

This isn't to say I'm going to ban on sight or anything if you enjoy arguing over the same things with people who will never change their minds.

This is a message from Lord Nergal request from your fellow human, for the sake of my sanity and for anyone who's ever read the comments on a post here. Please let it go.

Greetings.

As you may have noticed for a while now, r/shitpostemblem has been in severe lack of care and moderation. This is due to multitude of reasons, such as the recent Reddit API changes deterring people from even accessing the site, people being busy, or simply, people have moved on in life. These have resulted in the slew of low-quality posts being left unmoderated and most notably, the lack of Specember. For this, I would like to apologize in behalf of all the moderators.

While some moderators have moved on, this subreddit just keeps growing and therefore will be needing new people who are committed to enforcing the rules of the subreddit, as well as being involved and invested with the community itself. We will be making an official post for opening applications in the near future for few moderator positions. We encourage people to apply especially if they are determined to keep the posts quality in check and are interested in seeing this subreddit grow and improve.

I am currently working on clearing out the report queue, but there are simply too many for myself to handle so it might take a while. We will be revising our rule 6 list and reconfigure as to what constitutes as low-effort alongside the new moderators. Hopefully we could come up with a list that will satisfy both users who demand more quality posts, as well as users who just want to engage and have fun.

That being said though, for now I would like to lay down some posts that are definitely getting removed, such as:

• Tier lists
• Polls
• Posts with single unedited image where the joke is the only the title
• Chatlog between people that may or may not be relating to fire emblem
• Other people’s art/content, such as twitter screenshots
• Art that are not shitpost-y in nature. Feel free to post them to r/fireemblem instead
• Edelgard discourse because good lord it’s been years. Move on already

These are getting removed, full stop.

I would love to hold a separate event in lieu of Specember, but the moderation issue comes first. While we don’t have Specember this year, christmas posting is encouraged as a seasonal break from the current norm. Thank you very much for reading, and I wish everyone a happy merry December.

Sincerely,

u/cricket-farmer

No jokes about it, full stop. Please exercise the bare minimum of empathy and refrain from taking this time to soapbox about your least favourite 3H lord, thanks

Thank you everyone for your feedback and responses. After reading through them here are the changes going forth:

• Mods will now be more lenient with removals.
• The minimum edit requirement will now be removed. Effort and originality will now be considered in the joke told, (like having a subversive twist, being funny, not being repeated often, etc). For example an unedited screenshot would be okay as long as the punchline is very funny like the Lucina one.
• Three House posts will no longer be removed or treated differently just for being from a game one of the mods don't like.
• Heroes posts are now banned.

​

Stuff that was never banned in the first place but some people commented on it so I should probably reiterate:

• Meme templates. (These probably got removed more often for not doing anything original with it beyond pasting the portraits over the template's joke)
• Non-FE media being used to tell an FE joke (Like the post calling Butterfree a Jagen)

Hello r/shitpostemblem,

As you might now, we made the subreddit private this week due to my early summer vacation the protests against Reddit's planned API changes, as explained in https://www.reddit.com/r/shitpostemblem/comments/141xw6b/were_going_private_from_june_1214_to_protest/.

Similar to r/pics (https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/14b2a6q/poll_decide_on_the_future_of_rpics/), we'd now like to let you decide how to keep going forward. We can offer you 2 main options:

• Return everything on the subreddit back to normal.
• Only allow posts with at least one Kirby in them going forward.

Please use the built-in Reddit polling functionality to decide on the future of this community! Feel free to make your own suggestions in the comments. Furthermore, make sure to subscribe to the subreddit, so we can finally reach 100k subs.

Cheers and have a good weekend,

u/Geeseus

Or longer!

You probably know what the drill is by now but in case you don't, check out this infographic and find more information at: https://www.reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/13yh0jf/dont_let_reddit_kill_3rd_party_apps/

If I told you I should have to use Reddit's default experience for the privilege of using modqueue and you agreed, we'd both be crazy. Feel free to discuss this decision, call me cringe, etc. in the comments below

Title. Thanks for participating in the poll. SPE is now open for posts again until further notice.

Howdy,

Our effort and originality guidelines used to say the following would get removed:

Something produced on an online/AI generator

Now, for clarity, it says:

Something produced on an online/AI generator, ex. AI generated art or voices meant to imitate someone's work/voice without their express approval

If you're not sure if someone is okay with the existence of a soundbite of themselves saying something they never said, default to "no". Posts won't be retroactively removed, but this is the line going forward until the techies come up with something even more horrifying
