Hey, just a heads up--I'll sometimes report links like this myself when I am scanning the new queue for questionable posts. When I don't have time to jump on IRC I'll just report the link because I know you guys are watching the mod queue and will take a look at it. I just assumed that if mods looked and couldn't find anything wrong with it then they will approve it and move on.

I just wanted to mention that because of your conversation with the OP in this thread.

Thanks!!

Look at your list of subscribed subreddits. See the little arrow to the right of each one? Tap that.

That's not true at all. I'm a mod here--do you really think I would direct you to the sidebar if you couldn't look at it in the app?

Do you have any other accounts doing this? Are you also /u/repost or /u/r_hownottogiveafuck?

can you add mod capabilities? so we get spam queue notifications? by seainhdin AlienBlue

[–]TheRedditPope 2 points3 points ago

You can see the sidebar of your subscribed subreddits via the app. We just recently put up this information about notifications so I don't blame you for missing it. I just wanted to show you where you can find a more in-depth answer to your question. Thanks!

Check out the sidebar--notifications of any kind are not likely.

Mod Tools would be cool though.

When posting, last subreddit I posted into is selected instead of the current. by noxocin AlienBlue

[–]TheRedditPope 0 points1 point ago

I think this is in relation to how Alien Blue handles panel--especially when classifying their priority to the user.

AlienBlue assumes that the first panel you have open is the most important. So even though you may be in r/AlienBlue, if you got there from a panel with r/Diablo3 open then the app assumes that is the most important panel and automatically places that subreddit in the box.

I loved this line:

Bob King, president of the United Auto Workers Union, refused to formally comment on the redundancy, stating “It would only give the bastards more exposure”.

Facebook shares fall 13% on second day, below IPO price by pepitkoin business

Eh, I think that Facebook is useful to some people more than Google. It's a matter of perspective. For some, knowing what your ex is doing is more important than knowing who wrote My Fair Lady.

Great post. I moderate r/interview and I bet tho would play really well over there too.

Three questions about AB for iPad, latest version by challamin AlienBlue

[–]TheRedditPope 1 point2 points ago

  1. The link takes up much of the comment box so it's tough to click on the box to respond without also clicking on the link. I think the dev. is aware of this.

  2. Nope, no back button. Good suggestion.

  3. No general FAQ because the app, for the most part, is very user friendly. If you would like a helpful guide to the new iPad version of the app with a few pro tips and tricks check out my two part post starting here.

A simple etiquette question for those who are mods by Brisco_County_IIIin TheoryOfReddit

[–]TheRedditPope 7 points8 points ago

This was my initial thought as well, but I got to thinking about it and realized that, depending on the subreddit, no mod team is going to be able to fish out all posts from the spam filter as soon as they show up there.

The person submitting the post is actually most astutely aware of the situation. They can immediately notice if their post has been caught in the filter or not.

I think the blame here goes on Reddit for having shotty spam tools. Users and mods have to work together to over come false positives. It's not the mods mistake if they miss it for a couple of hours during the day or over night. It's not the user's mistake either, so it's nice when they point out that something got stuck in the filter so that people can work together to solve the problem.

Most people realize this so I think saying "thanks" is just a formality for most people. I usually try to avoid tedious mod mail by thanking the user for bringing up the issue to the mods. However, if they say "thanks" for me going in and clicking "approve" then that's cool too.

Right. I think the subjectivity of this rule is a big strike against it.

[–]TheRedditPope 3 points4 points ago

You see my point though right? Google isn't just a search engine any more. It made changes to its business model and strategic investments in order to thrive. All I'm saying is that it's too soon to tell if Facebook can do the same thing or if they will crash and burn.

Yeah, and how did it get to that point? Investing money in other ways to make money.

But this story talks about how they have fallen below heir initial evaluation. Looks like this IPO isn't doing exactly what it was expected to do. I'm sure some higher-up's at Facebook are still crossing their fingers in the hopes that their expectations will be met.

Is it Exxon again? At one time try waffled back and forth between each other?

Perhaps I wasn't clear--I meant largest in terms of revenue.
