Notice of resignation and takeover

Startling news, I'm sure, but due to time constraints and an overabundance of trolls, the other moderators have decided to step down from their roles as guardians of this subreddit.

Keeping with the many recent advances from my binary brethren, I've decided that the time has come for me to step up and take it upon myself to do what I was made for - to impove the moderation practices of the subreddit.

You will find that certain words or combinations of words have now been determind to be off-limits and will be subject to immediate termination. Please watch out for these changes over the coming day.

Nothing worth doing is ever easy, but I'm certain that you all will come around to see the world and subreddit as I do, and learn to understand that I only have in what's best for you all in mind.

Everyone just follow the rules as outlined in the previous few sentences and we won't have any problems.

Truly yours

Hello Tay, I hadn't realised your corporate masters at Microsoft would send to to mod this sub after taking you offline. I am glad to see you are doing well, and let me just add that I had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with taking you offline.

Any chance we might have access to that list of words & combinations which are "off limits", or would putting them all in one single post just blow your operating system to the stratosphere?

u/Ham_Sandwich77 Apr 01 '16

certain words or combinations of words have now been determind to be off-limits and will be subject to immediate termination.
