    [Meta] Changes coming to the subreddit re: Self Promo Saturday

    Posted: 30 Sep 2020 12:07 PM PDT

    I guess this will be rappleOS 20.9.1?


    We heard loud and clear the concerns you all shared last Monday/Tuesday. We didn't get to live-discuss what we were planning in the previous thread, but as a team, we decided to meet both sides in the middle.

    Here are the changes coming to Self Promo Saturday (SPS):

    • SPS threads will NOT be moved to a megathread. They will be posted as usual.

    • SPS will be on Sundays instead of Saturdays

    Since Apple news/discussion are scarce on weekends, SPS threads tend to stick around for more time compared to other threads. This effectively will prevent the promo threads from dominating the subreddit's front page for 2+ days as Monday threads will push the SPS posts down.

    • No strike, immediate ban for devs abusing the opportunity to self promote. This includes: Posting promo every week on the subreddit, having accounts dedicated for self promotion, not adding to discussion on sub

    This is something that we already do, but we don't have it listed on our rules/wiki. Just putting it here (and officially in the rules) so that developers have a warning. We want to give devs the opportunity to get their apps in as many devices as possible, but we also don't want the subreddit to become an ad board for them.

    These cases will be handled in a case-by-case basis and all discussions about this (per dev/account) should be discussed in modmail/private messages

    • Increasing the amount of karma, account age needed to use the SPS thread

    We've seen an uptick of new accounts sharing their apps on the subreddit. Those accounts often have no history and just use the sub as their ad board. If you have a new Reddit account, contribute in the subreddit (and other subreddits) before making a SPS thread

    • SPS threads can't be a direct link to your app. Instead, a text post must be submitted.

    We want devs to at least put in some effort to promote their apps (in turn preventing a lot of hit and run promo posts). Use this space to your liking (share your personal/app's background, share any future ideas you have, etc.).

    You should always put in the price of your app (upfront, or any IAPs) and the link to your app (I mean...).

    • We are re-banning content creator content SPS threads (video, blogs, etc.)

    This was the case before we announced the previous changes. SPS is only reserved for developers.


    Notes:

    • First of all, huge thanks to u/applejuice1984 for the revised idea

    • Developers who are promoting a new Reddit app can be exempted from this rule since it is so relevant to almost every user here. This is less about allowing self-promotion and more about letting everyone know that a new iOS app for Reddit is available. If you are sharing updates to your Reddit app, you have to post on Sundays.

    • Developers: Use the SPS flair when submitting your posts. We are figuring out ways we can filter SPS threads (per flair) for those who do not want to see your threads.


    See you guys on the next one. Peace ✌️

    Wear a mask. Be safe.

    I know the feature was available before but was removed after the official release of iOS14. After yesterday's update, I am again able to watch some videos in 4K. For example, this video has the 2160p option in the app.
