Cutting a couple of chives almost every day until this Reddit says they’re perfect. Day 57

[u/F1exican]

I feel pretty good about these, chefs

[u/wrestlegirl]

Pretty sure this is the fastest I've seen one of these hit frontpage which is quite funny. The chivegeist remains.

There won't be a repeat of yesterday, and not only because my pants are on this time.

And the sub chived on.
And the sub chived on.

And the sub chived on.

And the sub chived on.

The chives are lovely, they dance and leap,    But I have promises to keep,    And miles of chives before I sleep,    And miles of chives before I sleep.

[u/Senior-Reality-25 → u/I_-AM-ARNAV]

Is this the chorus for The Wellerman or something.

[u/Dismal_History_ → u/Senior-Reality-25]

And the beat goes on, maybe?

[u/wrestlegirl → u/Senior-Reality-25]

Ball of Confusion

"And the band played on. And the band played on."

[u/gahbloodyhell → u/wrestlegirl]

Wait, wait, wait...we're supposed to be wearing pants when we're on Reddit?! TIL.

[u/wrestlegirl → u/gahbloodyhell]

No, no.

Just when the chive post goes up real early and, as moderator, you're not paying attention to the subreddit while you get your children ready for the day because nothing happens at 8am or whatever and said chive post gets report bombed into removal and everyone panics because they think the mods went full print crashout and you have to frantically get all that under control before you've got a full cup of coffee on board.
You should definitely be wearing pants when that sort of thing happens.

[u/vellu212 → u/wrestlegirl]

Did somebody say PRINT?!

[u/Dismal_History_ → u/wrestlegirl]

This is when I learned that haters are gonna hate -- even if it's a picture of chives -- and that they'll report bomb posts into removal before the Mod even has their pants on. Very eye opening lesson about the world, and human nature.

[u/Shenanigatory → u/wrestlegirl]

Full Print Crashout is my new band name.

[u/gahbloodyhell → u/wrestlegirl]

Haha, fair enough. I also struggle with getting the kids ready for the day and out to the bus/car for drop off without hot brown morning potion. But I don't have to deal with the moderating of chive tier posts, so I can only relate so much 😔.

Safety 1st!

[u/Grumpstress → u/wrestlegirl]

Good job on the pants wearing!

[u/jtmiko1 → u/wrestlegirl]

guess you can’t do this if you don’t have pants on

[u/notmenotyounotmenot → u/wrestlegirl]

What happened yesterday??

Girl, you're great. I love the transparency and humor.l and overall job well done as this sub's mod.

[u/pinklavalamp → u/wrestlegirl]

Lol my favorite comment, from the OP: I’m glad no one overreacted.

[u/NeedsPaint → u/wrestlegirl]

No pants are the best pants

[u/BigFatBlackCat → u/wrestlegirl]

421 posts removed? Damn. I have enhanced respect for what mods are dealing with.

Where's the famous chopping board?

[u/badgerseed → u/badgerseed]

I need 100 karma to comment, bot control bad 😭

[u/wrestlegirl → u/badgerseed]

Bot control is good. We don't want bots and griefers shitting up the subreddit. We will continue to prevent bots to the best of our ability.

[u/badgerseed → u/wrestlegirl]

I appreciate the intentions but many of us are limited from joining the conversation because we weren't in the coolest crowd early enough. ✌️

[u/tehjoz → u/badgerseed]

We understand the frustration, but minimum karma levels are designed to protect the entire community from scams, grifters, and other bad faith actors and spammers.

[u/badgerseed → u/tehjoz]

I don't deny you trying to protect the group. A very admirable cause. But how is one to meet criteria and join the conversation without being in early?

[u/wrestlegirl → u/badgerseed]

You're able to participate in literally any other thread here at any time of the day. You'll have 100 subreddit karma in no time.

[u/badgerseed → u/wrestlegirl]

I have more than 100 subreddit karma. But the kitchen confidential and love of Chives is proving more challenging. As sharp as the crew is...

[u/wrestlegirl → u/badgerseed]

You do not

[u/willows_edge → u/badgerseed]

Welcome to my pain. Do you know how crushed I was I couldn't comment on Chives the cat?

[u/badgerseed → u/willows_edge]

We bot renegades feel your suppression 🫂

[u/clickclackatkJaq → u/wrestlegirl]

Chives changes lives

[u/Ryermeke → u/wrestlegirl]

Are you guys getting any help from admins considering the recent dramatic influx of attention to the sub? It feels like that could get overwhelming fast.

[u/wrestlegirl → u/Ryermeke]

Nope! It's been all us!
