Hello all,

Thanks for making the trek over from Reddit!

We are not going to be allowing spam, but we are going to be relaxing our posting rules over here on kbin.

-We will allow the submissions of other sports like Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and other related combat sports.

-We will have less stringent titling rules

-The good memes can stay for now.

-As well as relaxing some other rules not mentioned here at mod discretion.

—

What will stay:

-Being civil to other posters.

-No politics.

-Posts still need to be related to organized, sanctioned sporting events and organizations. No random training videos or discussion that is not about mixed martial arts at-large

-Hangin’ wit da boiiis

Thanks again for making it over and we’ll see you around!

Thanks,
Mod Team

      Reddit has changed their pricing structure of their API so that 3rd party apps wont work after July 1st. They’ve intentionally priced out third party creators to force people to the reddit mobile app…

      That means that apps like Apollo or RiF won’t work.

      **However it means our mod tools may not work. The people who make our tools can’t guarantee we will be ok.

      Reddit’s native mod tools do not cover our needs, and Reddit relied on 3rd parties to help all the big subs to moderate everything.**

      The worst part, is they essentially gave a 30 day deadline for all this, and told everybody to deal with it.

      There’s a growing suspicion that it’s due to their upcoming IPO.

        I can’t speak for the mods, but it would be negligent to not mention the major ethics problems behind the scenes, such as privately admitting to misunderstanding a developer’s proposal for compromise as a threat, then publicly portraying that discussion as a threat anyway. Since Reddit’s product is accessibility to the is the userbase and their user-generated content, an organized and wide-spread “no, you cannot haz content or access” is what’s going on, ranging everywhere from setting subs to private to independent users deleting accounts or otherwise removing mass amounts of content. I’m currently showing 7273/7806 subreddits have gone dark with roughly 2.8 billion accounts affected.
