Rewording of rule #2. This is not an insta/tiktok/etc. feed. We delete media posts with low-effort followup comments or no comments.

Hi MicroFreakers,

We're still struggling with this one. Here's a much larger sub still struggling with enforcing their similar rule. Maybe they say the same sort of thing better than we do? Probably! That won't stop us from trying! Are you a persuasive wordsmith with a few minutes to spare to help us communicate with the community? We need the help.

Here's the latest take on rule #2:

"Leave a **great** comment when you post a link/video/img. Read more below. No low-effort comments.

If it's not in the body of your post, we require a killer comment - something descriptive to foster discussion.

Specifically, if you post a performance and do not describe how the MF was used, we'll delete it. This is a forum for discussion, so please start one with specific information about your video/img/link. Thanks!"

What are some examples of comments that would NOT satisfy rule #2 after you post a video of you using the Freak?

1. "I love effects! Using the MF with fx is so fun. It really opens up the sounds. What sort of fx do you use with the MicroFreak? I'd really like to know!"Why? It says nothing about how the MF was used. What settings? What part did it play? It mentions fx but doesn't mention which ones. What was the motivation? Etc. Not all of these are required, but it's got to be better.
2. "I used the Korg MS2000 for the main arp and the DeepMind12 for the backing pad. The fx are all VST through Reaper. I used the DrumBrute Impact for the beats, and that thing that sounds like a dying cat is my son crying about Roblox in the background."Why? No mention of how the MF was used. Etc.
3. "Click through to epic long details in the YouTube description." Why? reddit is not YouTube. Describe it here, please.
4. "I like turtles."

...

Or maybe it's better to share some examples of good comments?

So, that's it. Please help if you have ideas. E.g. if you're good with AutoMod and can help us configure it to clamp down on these posts automagically.

And thanks for helping r/MicroFreak thrive!
