## 🔴 Bot had a freakout Firstly, sorry for everyone who couldn't access the confirmation page for their new accounts. The server I use has limited free hours and I ran out! But we are good for this month and will look at a better solution if it happens again, we have had a busy couple of weeks than usual. ## ⏫ Good Participation So a few months ago I introduced Rule 10: Good Participation. The reason was a lot of the issues being fed back to me was that after a person got talking to OP, nearly every time, it would end up with a certain factor that was a dealbreaker e.g. OP not willing to travel that far, wrong age, etc. The simplest way to avoid is to state it in the post itself. If you want to post and have requirements, then state them and save everyone's time in not having to discuss them to find out. As a quick how-to, include the following: - Who are you? Height, looks, personality, humour, etc. - What type of person are you looking for? Age, height, looks, etc. - What experience are you looking for? - Where in London do you want to meet? NW2, Lambeth, South of the river, etc. It's not a lot, but members of this community have let me know how much better the feed is for it, and how it relates to their success on this sub. To add, nearly 25% of reported posts are for rule 10, and that is with a bot that auto removes low-quality posts. [📊 Reasons for reporting for the last 3 months](https://imgur.com/a/vLwIiw9) With that context I hope you understand that I will be moving forward with the following actions: 1. Stricter moderation on low-quality posts, one-liners will get a 14-day ban. 2. 3 low-quality posts from a user will result in a permanent ban. 3. Posts might be removed for not including the 4 points above (also, saying just London for location won't cut it and is pointless considering our sub) Any feedback on this please add it in the comments. ## 🗺️ Location, location, location In the last 2 months, I have told about people posting from outside London, albeit just, but still not for the purpose of this sub. Within the bounds of the M25, please. I will be questioning any post that is anything like London/Surrey, as one example of a reported post was that they only wanted to meet in Guildford. In summary, the location problem (also part of Good Participation) generally keeps coming back as a sticking point. I do not want to standardise the posts to included location, but if I keep getting more feedback and reports then that is the inevitable place we are going to end up. If you post, include something and report if you are scrolling through and something is vague. ## 😀 Good Month Apart from those points, it has been a good month overall. I few issues along the way but the feed has been looking amazing in general, so thank you to everyone who puts the effort in. Mods P.S.
