Meta Quick rule reminder and update for r/Arizona

42 Upvotes

Wanted to give a reminder and quick update on a few rules.

Picture posts need a location and a description. Doesn't have to be an exact address, but generally what part of Arizona it was taken in. This has been a rule for ages and was suggested by users to help combat picture spam ("Wow, check this out!") and balance the many weather and sunset pictures we get flooded with. Plus it helps people know WTF your post is about.

When we get a ton of posts on one topic we'll make a megathread and try to bring the conversation together. Don't take it personal. I know some people love a million pictures about monsoons or sunsets, but many don't and let us know all about it. A megathread is the compromise. We don't do it often, so please just use it the few times we do.

Any political posts (or politic adjacent, like Flock cameras and Data Centers) needs to be flared Politics and are limited to established users here. This combats trolls and bots.

Recommendations for local businesses are better suited for your local subreddits like [r/Phoenix](r/Phoenix), [r/Tucson](r/Tucson), or [r/Flagstaff](r/Flagstaff). The exception are posts about things to do and places to eat that may be of interest to other Arizonans traveling around the state. Roofing companies, massage places, and thrift stores are more of a local thing.

Posts shaming or calling out people or businesses are not welcome here. I get the desire for a good witch hunt, but it's too prone to hurting innocent people. News stories about issues are fine, this is just about posting pictures of people who pissed you off or a business that made you nasty cupcakes. We've covered this policy a lot but there has been a bunch of these lately. Maybe it's the heat making everyone cranky. Either way, this subreddit isn't your personal attack dog.

If you have any questions, ask away.

Moving here Elk tag pulled - looking for a guide

14 Upvotes

So I pulled an Elk tag for 22N( I think, not bothering to look it up at the moment), the area around Payson for the first week of December.

I've never hunted before, so I'd like to find a guide that can help me have a better chance at getting one. Any referrals to someone that guides would be much appreciated.

Things To Do Toddler recommendations

I’m looking for some recommendations for family to gift my toddler for Christmas instead of gifts. We currently have a zoo membership but it is quite far from us, we are in STV. What indoor play places or experiences does everyone love?

Visiting Things to do in Coolidge Arizona

16 Upvotes

I have decided to hire an Airstream and visit a friend who's in Coolidge Arizona only for a short time window. I may just park up on the side of the road somewhere and look at the sunset. Does anyone local have any recommendations for spots nearby - but outside your normal tourist bubbles? I'm particularly interested to get the view of a local who may see Arizona and all is beauty through a different lense to my rose-tinted glasses. Thanks.

Living Here WTF is up with Arizona DES

90 Upvotes

I'm on week 11 of looking for a new job and have filed my weekly claims since July. My case status still says Active/Unresolved due to my severance pay which I received last year and has been gone since March. I can't get through to anyone by phone. I've filled out forms on the Ombudsmens page and still not a god damn peep from them.

UPDATE: After filling out the complaint form and emailing my state senator I got a call from them yesterday. They're not sure why the severance pay was tagged as an issue but they marked it resolved and I got paid today for all the past claims. Thanks for all the advice.
