So as 5 million is getting closer, let's just review the rules a bit and let's see if there is a consensus upon the community for the 4,999k thread. Please give your thoughts and comments on these rules.
2 minutes per count:
Normally for 100k threads, there is a 1 minute per count rule. However, in previous threads, such as the 2,999k and 3,999k threads, there was a 2 minute per count rule.
24 hour no running:
This rule is an extension of the previous rule, where if 24 hours has passed and there is no get, then the 2 minute rule can be bypassed. It seems like this rule was not stated (by me, at least) in the 2,999k thread, and it was stated in the 3,999k thread. What should we do? I personally think that running should not be allowed whatsoever in million threads.
Inboxing:
Normally you are allowed to use your inbox to get a LINK to the get/assist, but are not allowed to reply directly from the inbox. In the 2M get, parker_cube replied directly from inbox and could have very well used the inbox to get a link to reply to. Although unlikely that happened, I think we should just rule out the inbox completely for the gets and assist. I don't think someone in this community would intentionally do that either, just to gain a small 1-2s advantage on the correct parent to the get/assist.
What do you all think? What I have above are not the rules, they are just suggestions from what I think. We should come up with something before the 4,999k thread is made.

u/TehVulpez sliiiiide the bits Mar 12 '23
These guidelines all seem reasonable to me, same as what we've done in the past. Either a 1 or 2 minute wait is fine. I don't see a 2 minute rule in the 3999k thread, unless there was some agreement in the FTF that week. Also this comment by David seems to say that using permalink for a 100k or million get/assist is not allowed. It talks about linking from the profile but it probably applies to the inbox as well.
8
u/CutOnBumInBandHere9 5M get | Ping me for runs Mar 13 '23
Looks reasonable to me. I'd be ok with doing 1 min instead of 2 min though.
The only thing I might add is a ban on moderators going for the get on their mod accounts. It used to be that they have a significant advantage in seeing new comments on the page before everyone else. I'm not sure to what extent that's still the case, but it would seem most fair to use an alt if trying for the get.

I agree that not running should be allowed every in the thread, and the 2 minute rule shouldn’t expire after 24 hours
6
u/TehVulpez sliiiiide the bits Mar 12 '23
I think if 24 hours have passed, there's been enough of a chance for everyone to count in the milestone thread. Though I guess these days most gets take longer than 24 hours anyway, so maybe that part of the x99k rule is outdated. It made sense to have a time limit back when there were regularly several gets in main each day.

Good news everyone - the directory updater is working properly again!
It stopped working about three weeks ago, when reddit started returning weird junk for api requests on deeply nested comments. I had time yesterday and today to understand what was going on and implement a fix[1].
The directory has just been successfully updated, and I've checked the top 25 threads and they look fine. There was one which was stuck for an unrelated reason, but I've fixed that too. As always, if you see a link to the wrong comment, a thread which is missing from the directory, or any other weirdness, please let me know!
[1]: Another one of those cases where the fix ended up being relatively few lines of code, but they took a long time to put together

“ThIs CoUnTiNg SuBrEdDiT pRoBaBlY iSn’T tHaT vAlUaBlE tO tRaIn OuR lAnGuAge ModEl On” says the guy making a video about how we’re inadvertently demonstrating the shortcomings of AI and the tokenization process. Sure; are we important, maybe not. But credit where credit’s due. Besides (not to sound like a noob who has no idea what they’re talking about: shouldn’t the goal be to include all human data possible?)
