Overposted images, "True DDOI", a new flair, a new bot and you!

Hello fellow fans of badly designed signs and similar!

  1. As some of you may have already noticed, we introduced a list of overposted images. We removed about 150 (!) of posts from the list in the last week, it's insane. No one wants to see those anymore, it's really annoying. I'm happy to have noticed that the reaction to the introduction of this new list is positive (as far as I know at least). Together with the list we also introduced a new rule 3, so if you see anything that's on the list, please report it!

  2. After gathering some feedback from you we recently made some changes to also allow for posts that aren't "True DDOI". A list of the different types and if they're allowed can you find in this new wiki page: Post Types. The change is also reflected in the new rule 1.
    Here are some comments that seem to confirm that our decision in this matter is correct:

  1. If you only like DDOI, don't worry! To also keep the spirit of the sub we introduced a "True DDOI" flair. Only real true DDOI will get this flairs (again: see the new wiki article for the different kinds of posts). We also added a filter for this kind of posts to the sidebar, so if you're only interested in true DDOI, you can use this to filter out the other posts.

  2. You may also have noticed our new bot. This bot will help you and us to keep everything flaired correctly. Upvote the bot comment if the post is a real [true DDOI] (https://www.reddit.com/r/dontdeadopeninside/wiki/post_types#wiki_type_1.3A_true_ddoi) and downvote if it's not. Report the post instead if it does break any of the rules.
    PLEASE read the wikipage and make yourself familiar to what true DDOI is and what is not, otherwise the bot is useless!

I hope you enjoy these new ideas. See you around!

That's 21.43 images per day

I like the new bot idea, it's really useful

This post is confusing. It says

After gathering some feedback from you we recently made some changes to also allow for posts that aren't "True DDOI"

but then the bot says we should downbote anything that isn't "True DDOI"? And the first rule is literally "Rule 1: Images must follow the format of DDOI." How does this make sense?

Upvote the bot comment

A bot's going to post a comment to every image. Upvote that comment to say if it's true DDOI, down if not. It's not downvoting the entire submission.

Oh okay, I see it now.

That leaves the probelm that the rule 1 says " Images must follow the format of DDOI."

I haven’t seen the bot on most posts over the last few days. Is it getting an overhaul, or has it just given up on life already?

Maybe you came to late? The comment is only there for a few hours until the vote threshold is reached. Depending on how quickly that happens in can take longer or shorter.

Ah! I’m sure that’s it.

So just to be sure

After gathering some feedback from you we recently made some changes to also allow for posts that aren't "True DDOI". A list of the different types and if they're allowed can you find in this new wiki page

But going to the wiki page everything but true ddoi aren't allowed except for one which is at the discretion of the mods... so why even walk back the rule?

I just read the Wiki for the first time, and can I just say that it is very entertaining? The post types are clear and I laughed a couple of times.

Would this post of mine be allowed or would it be considered fragmented?

That wouldn't count because almost no one can read it...

Could you please add this shit to the overposted images list? It's old as hell and still gets reposted constantly.

Sorry. I wasn’t sure my post was a repost.
