Usually I'm formal with these pinned posts, but I'm just too exhausted at this point to be formal.

TLDR: If you can't be a good noodle, don't bother participating within the subreddit.

When browsing our subreddit, all I ask is that you're respectful to everyone (even the people within the post, as hard as that may be for a select few of you).

If a post makes you upset enough to target an ENTIRE race, gender, etc with your comment, don't make the comment, keep it to yourself.

I understand that may be hard for some of you, and if it is hard for you to NOT be xenophobic, homophobic, any of the other phobics, you will not be welcome on our subreddit in any capacity.

Contrary to what people may believe about mods, I do not take any joy or pleasure in banning people, I do not have a "quota" to fill. What I do have is a subreddit to protect and users on that subreddit to protect.

> Why am I going to be in trouble for targeting an entire race, gender, etc?

I'm so very fucking glad you asked! 😊

I'll give an example based on a real case from our subreddit here:

> You have a post about one man, who happens to be Muslim, and the story is about him pushing someone else into traffic killing that person (the victim is not labeled as anything and this was not found to be a hate crime).

Just because that one man committed that act of violence DOES NOT MEAN THAT ALL MUSLIMS ARE DANGEROUS TO SOCIETY. We have Muslim users in our own community who also believe the murderer is not a good person. What happens when those Muslim users see how you are commenting about their entire religion?

Replace Muslim with Christian, Jewish, Shinto, Buddhist, any other damn religion you'd like and the same applies.

Just because we're called r/Awfuleverything DOESN'T MEAN YOU NEED TO BE PART OF THAT "EVERYTHING"

Thank you!

I can't find an immediate update to the status, just that it's closed due to a derailment

I was getting some games of Arena in to settle myself into an MTG mindset for a Pauper tournament on this upcoming Saturday. While getting the usual emote spammers and roping players I was trying to figure out what the in person equivalent of this would be.

​

For the emote spamming equivalent I figure it would be someone saying "Can you hurry up?" or something similar while you are thinking about your next move but I don't think I've ever personally seen that in person. With MTG being a game that can cause you to enter deep thought in a critical moment (depending on your play style) I imagine this has happened at some point to someone.

​

Has this ever happened to any of you?

The bot works...I just forgot to set it 😞

For those of you who don't know, Kennel techs are the people who take care of your pet before and after any surgeries they may be having (among many other things).

When your veterinarian or other pet specialist tells you to NOT feed or allow your pet access to water prior to the surgery, PLEASE LISTEN TO THEM.

No matter how mild you may believe a surgery to be, the wake up process afterwards can be rough on your beloved pet, this process can be even worse on them if they have food in their belly. Your pets could end up in an unfortunate situation where they will need to stay in our care longer after surgery to recover.

A vet clinic will not allow your pet to go hungry, A vet clinic will not allow your pet to stay dehydrated, your pet will be ok on an empty belly for a day.

Please listen to your specialists.

Thank you ❤️
