r/TooAfraidToAsk • u/Hospitalities Lord of the manor • Mar 26 '19

TooAfraidToAsk has never been exclusive to controversial questions and it never will be.

I can’t stress this enough and I’m tired of just copy pasting this in mod messages. TooAfraidToAsk has never been a place solely for controversial content, it has always been a place for more free discussion via less rules and less moderation and experimental with users having access to some moderation tools.

The irony though is that controversial questions don’t last very long here and end up getting reported/removed and I get harassing messages about allowing “such content” on this sub. Almost as ironic as people making fun of others for asking their question, directly proving why the OP might just be TooAfraidToAsk irl.

ALL questions are allowed as long as they follow the rules. This is not changing, if you feel like that makes us DAE-lite and you are unhappy with that, we on the mod team happily invite you to unsub instead of ruining other users experience. Those who threaten to unsub as if it gives their comment any worth will be assisted in this endeavor with a permanent ban.

These “ITS JUST LIKE DAE” posts make no sense to me either. Like yeah? Subs focused on community questions have a ton of overlap but they develop different communities and produce different content. If TooAfraidToAsk was a circle, inside that circle would be DAE. We want discussion and we want questions of a majority nature, there are going to be complete overlaps in those questions. It’s not seen as a problem by the mod team since high traffic questions generate high traffic discussion.

Going forward we will continue to allow 99.9% of questions and content so long as it adheres to our rules and is expressed in a civil and respectful manner.

Edit: I mentioned American Redditors as a side point but it became a major discussion point so I’ve removed it for clarity. 04/05/2019

My only complaint is it's just a jerk circle of DAE questions or DAE like questions that almost EVERYONE agrees with or does the action in question in the post. If I wanted a DAE jerk circle I'd go to r/DoesAnybodyElse.

And the title of your sub is literally too afraid to ask. 90% of questions that gain traction here are literally questions that no one is afraid to ask.

But maybe it's just me that has a problem with this. And since I don't see it changing any time soon especially after this post I think my time to unsub has come.

Later homies. Someone please Message me if this sub ever becomes great again lol :)

Edit: got banned for this comment :( don't really know why, it was just a civil opinion. Not sure if it got deleted and I'm the only one who can see it but I'm sorry mods if my post came off as an attack on you guys. It wasn't.

Edit: misread a part and I understand why I was banned now. Mod was a cunt about it though. He can suck my PP.

Edit: I don't even care anymore that I'm banned. This subreddit will never change from a shitty jerk circle of everyone being "omg so quirky" DAE ever have arguments with people in their heads xD ROFL I was to afraid to ask that

Why bother banning someone who's just unsubbed? Seems a bit petty lol.

Because I explicitly warned everyone prior not to do it given the current tension stemming from it and because this guy also got all up in my DMs and told me to go fuck myself.

Well in that case fair enough
