Housekeeping
Hi all,
As we are just a few hundred members shy of reaching 1M, we'd like to thank everyone who makes this community friendly and respectful. For such a large sub, you guys make it fairly easy to manage, and we believe we've built a cordial place on the internet here.
We want to make a few changes that we think the community will appreciate.
- We'll bring back the Weekly What are you listening to sticky post that a lot of you miss so much. As with the old post, it will not necessarily be limited to true crime podcasts, but can also include crime-related podcasts, audiobooks, TV shows, movies, or other media that could be considered related to the topic of true crime podcasts.
-We'd like to add some new members to the team of mods! If you think you're up to the task send us a modmail (not a personal DM) telling us a bit about yourself, explaining why you would like to join, and if you have any ideas for changes or things you'd like to see in the sub. Experience is not needed, just a willingness to learn. Having a history of posts and comments in this community will be highly valued. Also, it is essential that you are a true crime podcast listener; this might sound obvious but there are many subs run by people with no interest in the subject they're about. The topic of the sub requires respectful discussion by users and podcast creators, and the only way to ensure the conversation doesn't derail from that is to be well-versed in the subject; that is our belief.
-At the end of the year, we'll do a Year in Review post with the most popular podcasts of the year on this sub, the ones that had the most discussions around them, and we'll also make our picks for our favorite series and/or episodes.
-As for promotion, this is always an icky subject. We want the main reason for this sub's existence always to be to discuss, review and comment on True Crime Podcasts, not to be a vehicle for promotion, but we understand the frustration of new creators when they'd like to spread the word about the work they do, and they don't find a way to do it in the place where it seems most obvious. For now, we will keep the Monthly promotion post, but if you have any ideas about how to do this in a better way, we are open to hearing them in the comments, along with any other feedback you may have on this or other topics.
Thank you for reading and for participating!
