Hello all,

I wanted to take the opportunity to say happy (somewhat belated) pride month to our members of the LGBTQ+ community. While it has been rough (to say the least) for the community in the past four years, I was very elated to hear about the recent SCOTUS decision, and I hope progress like that continues in spite of our current bigoted political leader(s). I'm amazed the progress and acceptance that's occurred just in my lifetime (remember when gay marriage wasn't even legal?), especially in regards to the trans community recently, and while there's still much to be done, it gives me hope.

We as a mod team stand with all members of the LGBTQ+ community. If there are ever any problem

Hello all,

I posted the same thing in r/opiates (minus changing sub references), so if you already read that one, no need to re-read.

This post will cover survey/study requests for the sub. We are looking for COMMUNITY FEEDBACK as well! We want to hear your voices on this matter!

Real quick beginning note, if anyone ever sees a survey/study request that has not been flaired MOD VERIFIED, PLEASE REPORT THIS TO THE MOD TEAM IMMEDIATELY. All studies MUST be verified by the mod team BEFORE POSTING. DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY SURVEYS NOT YET FLAIRED "MOD VERIFIED." They pose a major security risk.

Hello r/heroin,

Due to recent troubles regarding sourcing, we will be enforcing all picture post submissions/comment picture links to be manually approved by the mod team.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but this has been deemed necessary in order to ensure the continuance of this subreddit.

If you post a picture submission in the future, and it does not appear on the r/heroin feed immediately, it has yet to be reviewed by a moderator before approval. Please give it some time, and if you do not see it within a reasonable time-span, please message the moderators.

If you have any questions regarding this, please let us know!

With love to you all,

SWW

Hello all,

The mod team is discussing what would be fun for a 100k member special. So far, we've thought of a writing contest. We were thinking of piling some awards together and handing them out to the best.

Any ideas would be appreciated! We think this is a great opportunity for the community to come together and have some fun.

From another user:

Hey y’all. Poster about 50 days ago about this but it’s worse now, fake blues got less fake and more potent. Just wanna send out a warning for y’all in the region. Half a fake blue made my friend overdose. It would be safer to not buy any oxy from anyone you don’t know has a script. Grandma’s only. Stay safe guys.

Hi all.

The mods have decided unanimously to now disallow mentioning of states. You especially may not mention states in dope porn. Anything more specific than a country will result in a warning/ban.

Exceptions include (but are not limited to): Fent warnings, recovery-centered discussions, harm-reduction discussions, news articles, and other related discussions not currently made aware. This is more a case-by-case basis, so there is room for states in appropriate discussions. If you are unsure about something you want to post, please message the mod team.

Thank you all who commented on the original post. I'm grateful to be made aware of ways where states should be necessary for harm reduc

Hello all,

The mods have been talking about the continued allowance of states, especially in the case of dope porn. We are considering disallowing any locations more specific than states (unless, of course, it is a fent-warning post).

In similar subbreddits (like opiatechurch), they ban states outright, and I would bet that is a large help to their continuance.

It is hard to determine what is best for the sub. I think it's reasonable to say that banning states would keep this sub safer from the admin banhammer, but there is also the case of what the community wishes to see.

We would like to get your feedback on this before implementing anything. Please let us know your thoughts!

Hey all of r/heroin

You may not know who I am, and I may not know who you are. Big world we live in and all.

I'm u/StuffWithWords, and I'll be your friendly neighborhood moderator for the near future. Chase and I work together over on r/opiates.

If you didn't know, spin was banned last week:

We have some bad news.

Spin was banned last week for using an alt to comment in a sub she was banned from. I do not know the context beyond that.

It does not seem she will be returning.

This is a huge loss to this sub and to the many communities she moderated. She was one of the
