R/DISchurners announcement...
So as you probably have seen...r/churning is eliminating referrals. Most of you probably don't care about that, nor should you One thing worth noting is how we allow people into DISchurners. I have never and will never mention DISchurners explicitly on r/churning. The ONLY way to join DISchurners is to be a verified member of the DISboards. When people ask us to join on Reddit we ask them for their DIS name and verify they exist over here and have some real activity.
Why do we do this...because I DON'T want controversial members of r/churning (you can probably think of some) coming into our nice community and messing up our culture. @Lain and @Albort (the other DISchurners moderators) are also on board with this. We have never denied anybody from joining DISchurners but we will continue to be careful with who joins.
I'm mentioning this now, because their may be some r/churners members searching for new ways to generate support activity. They likely won't find us unless they are members of the DIS, and if they are, then they are welcome!
An additional comment I'd like to make is we do actively moderate each support thread. This does require some work. Thanks @Lain and @Albort for your assistance! (It is worth noting that for many links we actually have to manually approve the comment...so there is a small amount of moderating that actually occurs). We won't have an issue like r/churning because we don't have a bot or karma or any of that other stuff. Luckily I don't see us ever having 100,000+ people to police either
Thanks, that is all! Long Live DISchurners and all the support it's brought our fine folks here!
EDIT: I should probably add that if you want to join our private reddit group - just send a PM to @SouthFayetteFan; @Lain or @Albort and we'll get you added!
