Community and moderator requests and nominations for unmodded communities.

No bulk requests. That means one comm request per post. This is so we can sort out their interest individually.

Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.

It's fine if the dunk tank doesn't want to be a place where we get mad at insignificant reactionary nerds, I love that for them. But for those of us who LIKE getting mad at insignificant reactionary nerds, we need a containment zone for those kinds of posts, otherwise folks are just going to get shit removed from dunk tank / cth / main all the time.

Enter, chapodunkhouse. It's exactly the same as the dunk tank, except we can keep dunking on folks whose opinions don't matter to anyone who matters.

I think the rules should be:

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow chapos.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Anyway I'm happy to mod this with anyone else who wants to mod this, including any of the mods of the dunk tank since they already are doing a great job moderating it outside of the new Rule 8.

Also yes this is a serious comm request I'm not shitposting. I like dunking on random libs and I know lots of others do too.

It doesn't even seem like the dunk tank doesn't want to be a place for mocking random nerds, it seems like one mod doesn't want it to be that and decided to unilaterally make the change.

It was discussed between the mods, not a unilateral decision.

Hexbear moderation doesn’t work unilaterally. This isn’t Reddit where mods will just get randomly appointed and won’t necessarily have an expectation of coordinating with each other.

This sounds pretty unilateral to me:

Yea, I'm a bit new to hexbear (well I'm at 9 months so however you want to count that), and I thought it was always that way, with a mix of posts.
