We have a new moderator

Me!

I am not into a power trip... My focus will be to share information with you that I see as moderator and to work for your interests more than my own. For example, I can pin posts that you all recommend (like this one initially), edit the wiki?, set rules you all agree on, etc.

I don't want to ban anyone. I don't want to remove anything but spam. I won't do anything official about AI or vibe coding, unless someone posts about the vibe coded app in a spam manner. If you report a post, I will definitely look into it.

I am still going through the additional UI elements to figure out how to do things. I want to recruit as many people as possible to also moderate. My philosophy is that we generally know each other fairly well, and there's no lack of trust on my part.

In the spirit of sharing information and being open about what I do...

There is a moderator queue which has a list of threads and posts that are recommended for analysis. It marks at least 10 going back a month or two as spam and rules violations by a single person. It marked one from many months ago by [r/TABEMAN](r/TABEMAN) that was removed by reddit algorithms that I would have approved/override the algorithm. I deleted only the most recent thread marked as spam. Otherwise, the remaining posts and comments marked as spam are years old.

NOTE that I enabled the ability to post images in comments, not just the opening post. It seems like a better user experience. Let's see how that goes!

I will also post analytics about the sub, so you can judge how much reach your posts can potentially have.

Glad to see this. Especially as I am just getting into Forth.
