TLDR at the bottom - please upvote for visibility!
I proudly present you a solution to the two main problems with sourcing questions here on this sub: /r/DNMsMegathreads !
First, let me tell you why (general) sourcing questions are forbidden here:
a) If we allowed them, the sub would be spammed with threads like 'who has the best ... ?' - 'where can I get ... ?' etc.
b) It's still more of a grey than white area of reddit, on top of that sourcing threads often end up in direct-deals; both can get this sub banned.
The solution?
a) Let AutoModerator create Megathreads, while forbidding users to submit own threads.
b) Do so in a seperate sub that, if banned, won't hurt nearly as much as it would if the main sub would get banned.
And thus - /r/DNMsMegathreads was born.
The idea for Megathreads came from /u/sillysally11. I just came up with using the AM-schedule to get them posted while disabling any submissions for anybody else and a tiny AM-ruleset.
Shortly after that /u/DareToHope joined and also helped out by correcting my Germlish and proposed a very good idea for the sidebar & wiki, on which he's hopefuly working on with yet another users whose name I forgot.
(Edit: Apparently that user is MIA and we don't know if we can pull through with this one. :/)
Anyway, the sub works as the following:
Every second Monday-morning all threads will get renewed between 10:00-10:15 AM UTC.
(Edit: Because the sub is new and the threads were already almost one week old when we opened, the next renew is one week later: 2nd November.)
That's because unlike in forums, reddit doesn't have 'pages' you could go through. So if a Megathread has 500+ comments, even when sorted by 'new' it would be way too much to read.
We have no idea if two weeks is a good enough timespan or not - we will have to find out what works best first, so please work with us.
If you have any comments or think something should be changed/edited/added/removed, please use the 'Feedback Megathread' to tell us your thoughts. We'd appreciate it.
And for everything else, I suggest you to just check it out: /r/DNMsMegathreads - read the Welcome and what's this all about'-sticky - and please also the Rules and F.A.Q.-sticky too.
Don't worry if you hate reading long posts, we have a 'TLDR' on the bottom of both threads.
The sidebar also should give you an idea how it works / what it's about.
But now enough from me - go check it out, give us feedback and start posting! Hopefully it'll become a great pool of information. =)
TLDR
New sub /r/DNMsMegathreads has Megathreads for Cannabis, MDMA, Cocaine, Heroin, LSD.
Then there's categorized Megathreads like Prescription, Benzo, Psychedelics (exc. LSD), Stimulants (exc. Cocaine), Opoids/Opiates and a Dissociativa Megathread.
Plus one 'Feedback Megathread' in which you can give us feedack on the sub.
These threads renew themselve every second Monday. Next renew a week later than usual: 2nd Nov.
Please read the Welcome and what's this all about'-sticky - and also the Rules and F.A.Q.-sticky too. No worries, both also have 'TLDR's.
Reading the sidebar also can't hurt.
Edit: spelling. Also: if you read this you are stupid :F
This looks great. Thanks for your hard work, I appreciate the mods continually making an effort to better this sub.
