The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of "left solidarity"

Hey there guys! After today's fiasco, I decided that we need some moderators that aren't me or Ada. If you would like to be a moderator, please reply to this post with why you think you would be a good mod, and any previous social medias that I can check out just to make sure you're not a troll (reddit is the most useful but twitter/mastodon/whatever works too).

-----POLL RESULTS EDIT: NSFW IS STILL 100% ALLOWED, CORPOPOSTING IS NOW BANNED--------- I've been seeing a lot of reports on posts that feature corporate mascots/product worship, as well as properly tagged NSFW posts that are just straight up furry porn. Neither of these posts violate any of our regulations, and in fact the NSFW posts are often perfectly formatted (includes the word rule, as well as content warnings). As I try to keep things democratic around here, I figured I would host yet another community poll. Personally, I have no problem with the NSFW posts as they don't often reach the frontpage and will be blurred so anyone who doesn't want to see that sort of thing can simply not click. I also would personally ban corpo brandpsting as I'm quite anti-capitalist and honestly don't give a shit what the Opera GX brand tweeted about the new grimace shake grubhub mindpump Kony2012 shit-eating competitions. Because this is a poll, however, my opinions mean jack shit. Whatever you guys choose the rules to be will be the rules regardless of what I would prepher.

196 currently does not have a banner, and that just feels wrong. I have decided that the solution to this is to host a community contest! Link your submissions in the comments as embedded images, and the most upvoted one will become the community banner! Creating original content is encouraged, but not required.

-edited for results- NSFW Content is now fully permitted BUT it must be tagged. Any NSFW content that has not been tagged and blurred will be removed. Content warnings should also be added to the title in brackets. Example: [penis] or: [explicit description of sex]. Non-sexualized breasts of any gender are not considered inappropriate and therefore do not need to be blurred/tagged. Yes, even female breasts. IRL GORE IS NOT PERMITTED UNDER ANY CONDITION.

there's too many comments and posts for me to view all of them, so the way that we can deal with them is you, the glorious people of 196 reporting them as you see them.
