Active mods do a damn good job I think. BotBouncer and Reddit’s spam filter catches so much in my opinion, especially as someone who sees the 99% that never makes it through to a feed on the backend.

At this rate we’re all going to be bone thin skeletons with crazy long hair.

Science and drugs!!! What a time to be alive with weight loss and hair growth solutions.

Just let them know the difference between a 1,000 score and 700 score is a big fat 0!

A pass is a pass.

They asked for a number... accuracy was not part of the criteria.

Maybe next year we can get you to come hang out with Steve and I for a STL Data Saturday?!?!

Swing by more often plzzzz...

Steve and Meagan both hanging out with us on the SAME day is going to be tough to beat for the rest of the month.

Reddit and Bot Bouncer do a pretty good job, you’d be surprised.

But if the users history is spamming the same site or terms it becomes very obvious their intentions are not to help people in the sub.

Keep me honest but does Power BI Desktop support ALT keys at the moment? Felt like they were broken for a minute there.

If so, love keyboard combinations that match across products.

And love Graph examples like these, would have been extremely helpful when I was in detective mode last month.

“it’s not uncommon now to see companies trying to play the game (just like they did with keyword-stuffing with white text on white background for Google in the old days) and 'seed' Reddit with positive content about their product.”

I’ve been modding all wrong, less rants more woo hoo’s posts.

Was it about the Trailblazers?
