/r/DNMsMegathreads - the sub for all your Megathread needs!

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.

Wow, great idea mods. Hats off * tips hat with a flourish *.

I have a question though. I posted a question about weed vendors, in it I tried to encourage a discussion between a few select vendors I was looking into. The flair was perfect example of not sourcing.

I thought it was the mod giving me a subtle hint that it was a stupid question or asked in a stupid way, so I deleted it. Soooo.....I actually did the right thing I suppose?

Let's give a hand(y) to all of our mods, seriously, doin god's work! You got our backs, we got yours too!


[2 Points] sillysally11:

Considering how many people break rule #4 daily, I would assume a lot of the community would benefit from this new sub. We're hoping it will become one of the main sources for info pertaining to vendors.

The sooner the community jumps on board, the sooner the sub will actually be of any use to everyone.
