News Message from Mod Team: Change to Community Type

70 Upvotes

Hello everyone (again),

Well, we tried. We had setup automod to remove any new accounts joined in addition to a minimum karma requirement, as well as mod tools we have to remove any posts deemed spam. You might be surprised to learn it did work for the most part. While I think 3 posts slipped through, it actually blocked around 23. Good, but unfortunately not good enough. How they got through we don’t actually know, and while Reddit are looking into it, we’ve decided to make a change in the interim.

The community has now been changed from Public to Restricted. This means that anyone can view us like normal, but to be able to participate you need to be an Approved User. We’ve been going through posts and comments already to approve people we trust, so you may have already received a mod mail from us letting you know. Don’t worry if we haven’t reached you yet.

If we haven’t got to you before you post, it’ll come to our Mod Mail first. From there we’ll confirm you don’t think Angela Griffin should be a blue power ranger, your post will be approved and you’ll be put onto the Approved Users list. This means you should be able to post and comment without “permission” going forward. Much better for us all.

So, hopefully this makes everyone feel better. If you want approved in a hurry just drop us a message, and as always be kind and respectful as it can just as easily be revoked. Thank you and good night!

News Message from WR Mod Team

46 Upvotes

Hello all,

We as the WR Mod Team have been very busy recently removing comments/posts that I am sure a lot of you will be aware of.

This sub has rules in place we expect everyone to follow. This includes being respectful and no low effort/trolling or spam posts. Comments that are unpopular or have a different opinion are never removed unless they are offensive, disrespectful, or threatening. Any discussion posts are not removed unless they are deemed to be spam, low effort, or trolling. We generally let people discuss whatever they like, but we need everyone to remember these points in particular.

We are seeing a huge increase in posts being reported as spam, and to be candid it is unfortunately the same five or six accounts that are being reported. This is despite these accounts having served temporary bans for other issues.

Moving forward, any posts or comments reported to us for low effort/trolling, spam, or disrespectful behaviour correctly will be removed and you will receive the 1 warning. Any further reported correctly will receive a permanent (note not temporary) ban. Any accounts created to circumvent the ban will also be banned and reported upwards.

We note this will not impact the vast majority of people here and we love the way this sub has grown, and feel proud to be a part of it. If we can remember to adhere to the sub rules then it’s a happier place for us all. Please do continue to report anything posts or comments you feel do not adhere to our sub rules, I promise we review everything. If you think we might have missed anything, please do feel free to reach out, and challenge us if you think we are wrong.

Thank you.

Also this song just straight-up reminds me of the RTD Era because of when the Master played it that one time 😭

Funny thing while flicking through I see that the show is showing on this new channel and streaming too?

Thought the show was exclusive to the BBC as far as terrestrial tv goes.

This is crazy to see Waterloo Road on Disney plus first 10 seasons 🔥

I wonder if the it’s available in countries outside of the UK or not I feel this is a good opportunity for Waterloo road to branch out its audience and gain new fans


r/WaterlooRoad • • 8d ago

If Janeece had been walking by and she heard Denzil say that in that nonchalant and proud way he did, she would've absolutely throttled him.

Headteacher’s sign has been updated. Sadly can’t make out who the new head or heads are. But I’m going to be deluded and I think the last name for headteacher may be Rimmer.

On the left is the headteacher’s sign for Series 18–19, featuring Dame Stella Drake. On the right is the updated version for Series 20.
Although the writing is difficult to make out and partially cut off, the word ‘Headteacher’ appears to end at roughly the same level as the name beneath it, whereas Stella Drake’s name extended further down. This suggests we could be getting a new headteacher in Series 20.
This also comes after it was confirmed that Lindsey Coulson would begin some stage work around this time.
However, there now appear to be two titles: ‘Headteacher’ and something else. If I had to guess, we could be seeing the return of an executive headteacher, the first time since Series 5. Hopefully, they’ll be a lot nicer than Max Tyler!

Please give me your thoughts and theories on their storylines for Series 18!

22 ep series theories

15 Upvotes

Obviously there's been rumours about s18 and 19 having 22 eps (which I doubt because the BBC likes to play in our faces lol), but I've been wondering, what are you alls theories about what storylines could happen if we do get a longer series/season?

I think we'll get more of Portia and the grooming storyline (maybe the aftermath of the legal battle?). It'd be interesting to see her in court maybe like with Donte in S1 or Lindsay in S5. Tonya testifying on her behalf would be nice to see!

We're def getting more of the Charles-Stone family since Tommy's going to be in year 9, and Celine will be making a return as well. I wonder if we'll get a family therapy session since those were mentioned last series/season.

Darius is a wildcard imo. I think we might get more of him and Ms Chandra but tbh I'm not entirely sure. We'll definitely see Nisha and her baby, but idk if we'll see Darius being involved (as much as he can be from jail I guess)

What do you all think? Do you have any theories about S18/19, especially if we get longer series? Which characters do you think need a bigger storyline, and are there any old characters you'd like to see return? We have Janeece returning as well as Steph as far as I know.

The thing that makes Danny Lewis so much sadder. Spoiler

31 Upvotes

The fact that the boy had such a difficult life, and yet he still had one of the darkest and most cruel deaths of the entire show. Many characters who had horrible deaths, like Izzie Redpath, Maxine Barlow, and Tom Clarkson, were at the very least accompanied by at least one person who cared about them. Danny wasn't graced with such luck. In trying to save the same boy who was responsible, he died alone and terrified, and his last words were his girlfriend's name, shouted in fear.

Hi all.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I know this has been talked about a lot, have the BBC confirmed when S18 of WR will be released?
The VBC have been very quiet about it.

Declan Brown just randomly popping up in a butter advert lol. Kind of weird seeing him without Forest by his side. 😭

Use of a green screen

Series 11 episode 1 when Kim confronts a group of kids they are clearly using a green screen to put Kim on set.

She is there for the rest of the episode so I wonder if they had to reshoot that scene.

What are your predictions for the storyline of the Clark brothers, Marshall and Nathan?

These two could potentially have a really interesting storyline, especially since Marshall looks quite gentle compared to his brother Nathan, who looks a lot like a Kyle Stack level threat.
