To celebrate the fact that we somehow managed to survive for over a year and in this relatively short time, grew to be a a hell of a lot more than 50,000 people with a common interest. We have become a real community full of friends, supporters, and people who have the common goal of looking out for one another and keeping each other safe (and happy!)
We feel this deserves celebrating, so we have decided to hold an AM(almost)A where you guys have us as your audience. Feel free to ask us anything you'd like. If you have a question for a specific mod, please tag their username (like /u/automod) so people know that the question is aimed at them. Remember we all live in different timezones and will be available at different times to reply. We will leave this post pinned to the top until Sunday AM when the sourcing and advert posts takes over the pinned slot.
Obviously we all have a line where we won't cross into too personal or identifiable answers, and any obvious trolling or downright being a jerk replies will be deleted or at least ignored.
With the recent dueling threads about which mod people hate or like the most, we all felt that we should give uers the opportunity to get to know us better, since really all people see or know about other people online is the personality we create in our own minds based off of what people post.
We all really do feel as if we are just regular members of the sub - we don't have any sort of special access to markets or vendors; we have the same issues with scammers and being impatient with waiting for mail, and so on and so forth. But we also are the ones tasked with making and enforcing the rules, so we feel it's much more fair to open up and allow people to see more of the "real" us.
We also really welcome ideas and suggestions as well as questions about the sub as well. We want to allow the community to shape itself so we want to know what the community wants to become.
But mostly, after all the drama of late -- we want to start having fun around here again. So have fun with it and have at us!!
AMAA!

And of course our beloved little mascot, /u/automoderator. Please be kind to him. He's been going through a lot lately and we've noticed he's been going off the rails lately. We aren't sure if this might be troubles at home, or else his drinking, meth, and hooker problems are getting out of hand (again,) but let's all try to be a little sensitive about his feelings.
Do you ayy lmao?
