Would you be interested in a subreddit book club?

We would be reading 1 or 2 books a month (fiction and non-fiction?). The books would be chosen by you.

We'd make a post every month for the first week to get book recommendations, then make a poll with the 5 most upvoted books and after that announce the book for the next month.

At the end of each month we'd have a thread where the book can be discussed.

Would this be interesting for the community? You decide!

Bot Works Again: Adjusting Points

Hi everyone,

The bot has been fixed, so point giving is back to normal now! Wooo! Therefore, we have been working hard to fixing everyone's points. We've gone back through the entire mod log and noted down everyone who has gained points, taken off the extras, and hopefully made them correctly.

Note: we are human so we might have made a mistake here and there. If you notice something is really wrong, please let us know in the comments and we will adjust it.

Edit: I went through manually and checked if everything was correct. Based on that, I adjusted the points even more. You may notice you have a couple more or less points now as it is counted again and the mod log wasn't always correct in how many points were actually awarded. The points should all be correct now!

Below is the table of everyone who has gained points, what their points were before adjustment, and what they are after, in alphabetical order:

Bug: More points being given than they should

Hi everyone,

There's currently a bug with the developer platform that triggers get fired twice. This is the reason everyone is gaining more points than they should. This means for every answer you get right, you are currently getting 2 points. I don't know how long it's going to take to resolve, but I wanted to update you on this.

I hope it gets fixed soon, thanks to everyone who notified us there was an issue in the first place!

Hello everyone,

It seems there is a blip with Reddit/the bot that's causing it to apply 3 extra points to some users with no discernible cause. We fixed it on the users who have mentioned it to us, but we can't easily see who this happened to. You can feel free to send a message in this thread and we will fix your points. Hopefully the bot stops doing this soon.

Hi everyone,

Thanks to a very kind developer, we were able to create and install a bot that helps us manage Rule 10: Provide Solve Process After a Correct Solve. It works like this:

Quick overview of how the bot works

  1. Detection
    • When an OP has marked a post as !correct, the bot starts waiting for an answer.
  2. Monitoring
    • The bot looks for a solve process from the first person whose answer was marked as correct (other than OP). It looks for specific keywords. We ask you to use “process” as the keyword when providing an explanation, but we do have a few other keywords set up in case someone missed the explanation. 
    • When the answer is found, tracking stops. The solver can provide the answer by replying to the !correct comment, or editing their comment before or after their comment was marked solved.
  3. Reminders
    • We've set a reminder for 6 hours after a post has been marked as !correct that will then send a comment to the solver to let them know they haven't provided an explanation yet.
    • If they then provide an explanation, tracking stops and no enforcement is taken.
  4. Enforcement
    • If a solve process still hasn't been found 24 hours after a post was marked as !correct, the solver will receive an action against their account. That goes as follows:
      1. First, second, and third time: a warning will be issued. This warning will be sent to the user in a comment, and will show up as a mod note for us.
      2. Fourth time: the user will receive a temporary 3-day ban.
      3. Fifth time: the user will receive a temporary 7-day ban.
      4. Sixth time: the user will receive a permanent ban.
    • If you had a valid reason for not making the comment or your comment hasn't been detected, you can send us a modmail and we will reverse the enforcement action.
    • Note: we have not turned on auto-ban yet. We won't start taking ban actions until June, and even then we will start with applying manual bans. We want to know exactly how it works for the community first and if we need to tweak things for that to become possible. Until then, it's manual.

What happens if the bot is wrong?
We are able to reverse actions, take away warnings, give warnings, ignore posts, and manually approve given explanations. Always send us a modmail or report the post as Rule 10: Provide Solve Process After a Correct Solve if the bot has taken an inappropriate action or hasn't taken action, and we will take a look and reverse/apply any decisions.

If you have been banned wrongly, you can reply to your ban message and we will take a look.

What happens if the !correct was given to the wrong person?
The bot looks for the answer from the person who was given the !correct command first. Deleting it and giving it to someone else therefore doesn't work. If that happens, you will need to send us a modmail that a point has been awarded wrongly and we will come in, give the point to the right person, and have the bot ignore the post or approve the right answer. 

Can I already include my solve process beforehand?
Yes! The bot also detects the answer if you had already included it in your comment before your answer was marked as !correct. You then don’t have to do anything anymore once your answer is marked. So if you write “Mallorca, process: I found the sign on the restaurant,” you are good to go! 

What happens afterwards?
When your answer has been marked as !correct and you have provided a valid explanation, the bot will pin a comment to the top of the post that includes your username, the right answer, and also the process of how you found it. If you’re unsure if your process was valid, you can always check for this comment. 

If you have any other questions about this, please let us know in the comments!
