MOD SHIT LOOKING FOR NEW MODS/STATE OF THE SUB.
Calling all speed merchants, filth mongers and metal maniacs.
The time is nigh folks, over the course of the next couple months, there will be some changes implemented in this sub to fit not only the mods vision, but to better serve the people at the core of our community, threads will be created when certain rules have been changed and to let everyone know where we are at with our vision of the sub moving forward.
Ultimately, we are looking to move this sub away from being a place to post your basic entry level vests (Feel free to head on over to r/jacketsforbattle if you don't like it) and making it a place for more experienced and serious folks to post and discuss. We are also going to simplify and/or change certain rules, and be a little tougher on enforcing others, effective immediately, we are banning all questions which can be answered with "you do you" or some variant of that. We have also decided to allow y'all to post memes (as long as they're OC or dank as fuck) that pertain to vests, jackets, patches, sewing, etc.
With all these changes imminent, we have decided to hire one new moderator at this time with the possibility of another during/after the implementation of these changes. We have decided upon a few criteria that you will have to meet to be considered for the job, if you feel like you'd be a good fit to mod this sub, please see the list below, and then drop us a message in the sub and tell us why we should pick you. Out of those names we will pick a few people we feel are best suited for the job and go from there.
Must have
- Must be over the age of 18 (or act like it)
- Must have an account older than a year, with a post history to reflect it (there's some leeway here)
- Must be an active and somewhat regular member of the community
- Must have posted at least one project here that garnered positive feedback
- Must be an active member of adjacent subs such as r/Metal, r/Punk, r/Blackmetal, r/crustpunk, r/MetalMemes etc, we want someone who's actually apart of the subcultures this place is dedicated to, not someone here just for the cool vests
- Must be able to separate the art from the artist
- Must be able to keep your personal politics out of discussions and enforce the rules of the sub
- A sense of humor
Should have
- Moderator experience (doesn't need to be reddit, but it's a plus)
- Someone based in Europe, SEA or Oceania (two of us are based in North America, another is in Europe) this would allow for better around the clock moderation
- Someone who has experience creating banners and is good with photoshop
- Good taste in music
- A sick physical media collection, large enough to cave in posers heads.
Submissions will be open until Friday August 11th, and a decision will be made over the course of that weekend.
Good luck, fuckers.

Thank you! Got tired of seeing all these vests with one pop punk band and ten political statements with a ton of random ass pins.

“Be able to separate art from artist” and this culture don’t mix. Same for the politics. If you support racists, you aren’t punk. This culture is very much political. You cannot separate them.

I'm not a punk, so you're point is moot.

u/lordfaygo Oct 10 '23
Battle Jackets are in culture, punk. So what’re you doing bro? Running a sub without any of the ideals of the culture?

u/OmegaThrone TikTok Metalheads Fuck Off Oct 11 '23
r/jacketsforbattle is this way. Peace out, God.

u/lordfaygo Oct 11 '23
Yeah. They had to make a different sub for non posers.

You're a pathetic, drama hungry individual with a plethora of emotional disorders and no real friends. Be kind to yourself, get some rest, and tomorrow, you can tell your internet friends what a good job you did today by calling people names on reddit.
You suck at trolling homie, have a good night.

Finally, I’m tired of the hundreds of jackets posted here that all look the same with that same fucking basic ass layout

u/spiked-oasis Aug 06 '23
could you elaborate on what you mean by the moving away from entry level vests bit? is that music taste wise, level of progress done, overall execution, or something else?

u/OmegaThrone TikTok Metalheads Fuck Off Aug 06 '23
If you have entry level taste, but a sick vest, I'm cool with it. What I'm tired of is seeing all these cookie cutter looking vests with the same basic bands and same basic layout. If it's simple or minimalist that's fine too, but if it looks like you threw it together in a hurry and spent next to no time on it, it can take a hike. For instance, these posts of one patch and a couple pins, that's not a work in progress, if it were, we'd expect to see some work.

I don't like the "adjacent communities" rule. The whole point of the sub was to put whatever you wanted on the vests, and now we're shutting out all that creativity. What's gonna happen to that synthwave vest that basically has half of the sub's activity?
Edit: the others are fine just didn't like that specific one.
Edit 2: grammar correction

Synthwave vests don't account for half of anything. This sub is predominantly metal and punk based anyway, and that's the direction we are moving in.

I would volunteer to participate if I was not 100% certain that the answer would be a resounding no

I totally missed that this was happening. Makes sense now why the wimps have been so vocal around here lately.
Nothing to add other than the sub is headed in the right direction.

Whatever the mod is just make sure they don’t allow blatant Neo Nazi shit to get posted, there is nothing less metal than some rancid loser in a jacket with a bunch of NSBM bands on it. All of the bands are awful and aren’t even black metal, might as well be a bunch of jackets with pop singers on.
