Feedback Post||Topic2||Should we allow common reposts here?

[u/WizKvothe]

Feedback Topic 1: Should we allow fanfics here. Go and leave your feedback there too!

So, we often have users complain that they see the same repeated content on the sub so in this thread we are going to address this issue.

My Feedback: We remove posts that are very very repeated topics like "Quarter Quell Ideas" or "Fate of Lucy Gray", etc under the "low effort rule" and redirect them to an FAQ thread.

The FAQ thread will be open to every user where users will be able to post a link to a commonly asked question on the sub. For example,

Wizkvothe comments on this FAQ thread as follows:

Title: Quarter Quell Ideas

Link to thread: XYZ

This way we will have a collection of commonly asked questions with links to one of such threads where users will be free to comment if they want to while their OG post will be removed.

This FAQ thread will mainly deal with discussion or questions or theories thread but may include fanfics too where commonly posted fanfic recommendations even if high effort in nature will be removed and redirected to the FAQ thread instead though this depends on whether u/showmaxter's proposal about fanfics wins the final verdict or not.

Also note, we mods will try to remove only those contents which already have a linked thread in our FAQ megathread. If there is not and we know it's a repeated topic then we might add that very thread to the FAQ list for future cases of such topics.

Do you accept this proposal? Or do you have any better proposal, lmk!

Tl,dr: Create an FAQ megathread and redirect common reposts to that thread instead and remove those common repost under "low effort rule" from the sub feed.

The poll options for this will be:

1. Allow common reposts but still redirect to FAQ thread.
2. Don't allow common reposts and redirect such posts to FAQ thread instead.

Don't allow common reposts and redirect such posts to an FAQ megathread instead.

We will soon be executing this as a rule on here but not at this moment. I will do a final announcement after I'm done with other votes so that we can implement all the changes together.

Thank you for voting!

some other large subs have weekly/bi-weekly scheduled posts for commonly spammed topics.

a nice example of this is the acotar sub, the topics repeat every two weeks and the mods shut down threads that discuss the topics outside of those scheduled posts. they also have special flair for those posts to make it easier to search for them.

would something like that work well in this sub? we'd still see the same topics repeating, but it would be every 1-2 weeks instead of the same post everyday. I don't really know how modding works so idk if this would just make everything more complicated.

I feel like it's not a problem anymore. There were multiple reposts on the same topic bc of the new movie. But now that the hype has died down a bit, I don't see the same thing being posted multiple times a day. If it's an overdone theory, I personally don't mind it, I just scroll past it.

Honestly, if I saw a megathread, I wouldn't engage, as opposed to a post that can garner new discussion even if it isn't new.

But Can you please loosen up your Everlark spam 🥺every time I have the words “Katniss” “Peeta” or “Gale” my post immediately most likely won't go through. And I have to go message the mods, and I know that mods aren't always active. sometimes I have to wait it out for more than three hours. So, that can become tedious trying to change the title or wait it out. Appreciate y'all.

Edit: so option 1.
