someape brought up the KNIGHTS OF NEW (KON) today and was immediately downvoted and removed. So here is your call to arms fellow KNIGHTS - the sub needs you!
While I did have my disagreements with the Knights Of New (KON) back in the days (although joining their ranks), due to them sometimes acting like a stupid mob that downvoted anything they did not understand even if it was quality DD - I do have to say that the KON did in fact protect this sub from fud better than any posting-restrictions or sub-sanctioned quality-control-bots did!! apes will be apes, we all are held in high regards, so mistakes will always be forgiven if there is willingness to grow a wrinkle and rethink your judgement; but I do think that this sub largely benefited from that glorious movement called Knights Of New.
So I honestly do not understand why mods removed that post calling them out! (can't find op because - duh - deleted)
For younger apes who have never heard of the mighty KON, let me explain:
the Knights Of New are basically apes with a bit of time to spare, who regularly check into "new" (meaning sorting the sub by "new" instead of "hot" or "best" (which over the last few days quite ironically was the de facto "worst", precisely because our enemies are deploying their own battalion of Orks Of New (OON))) and downvote all the fresh fud creeping in.
It can be hard work at times like these, but the KON obviously are called Knights for a reason: it's a tough job with next to no reward! - ever heard the phrase "no glory in prevention"?
If your squadron successfully takes down or otherwise bar a fud-post from reaching a broader audience, no one will ever know you helped to shield them from getting exposed to that fud in in the first place! You will provide a good deed to a community completely oblivious of your efforts; there will be no rewards, no updoots, no reputation to be gained here - just the sound sleep of a hero who knows they did the right thing in the most difficult of times!!!
..and that, my dear young apes, is why we call them Knights!
I want to end this post with 2 paragraphs of silence, commemorating all those brave KON who left their time and sometimes sanity on the field of battle protecting this important community, which once again is under severe thread right now! We salute you, KON (/us)!!!
PS: if that sparked your interest, you can either go full Ronin and work alone, or you can try to coordinate and bring (negative) attention to a fresh fud-post in the daily chat of this sub.
