[meta] did the rules change?

JW if sourcing is allowed now? Did the rules change or the mods just letting some slide lately? idrc I just wanna kno because I got some threads i have tried to post that automod removes for sourcing and then i see sourcing threads so is there some trick to post them? also been banned before by the mods for sourcing threads so... would like to know what the deal is with that.

No, we only allow sourcing on the Weds and Sun threads. Generally speaking, you can ask if Vendor X has good product OR you can ask for comparisons b/w 2 or 3 vendors. Basically, don't be open-ended. Don't ask "Who has the most fire XYZ." You can ask "Does Vendor X have the most fire XYZ"

You see sourcing posts simply b/c there are so many damn sourcing posts. We miss a lot of them. Each time I log in, even for a few minutes, I'll remove half a dozen sourcing posts. They slip by. We are trying but if you report it, it'll help us immensely. Of course, these reports get missed too, but less of a chance of being missed I guess.

Automod is automod. Sometimes it unfairly flags posts as sourcing and sometimes it misses sourcing posts. Most of hte time it is immensely helpful to us, but its not perfect.

lol i like how the mods just stopped responding b.c they kno they have no good answer.

why don't you just change the rules so they dont suck? if you arent going to enforce them just get rid of them. its bullshit that people can ask about weed and mdma recs and all sorts of other sourcing recs but nobody seems to be allowed to ask about coke recs? tell me that isn't fishy

That depends on what you mean by sourcing. What are you trying to post?
