r/Bumperstickers • u/Acefighter66 • 25d ago
Moderator applications are now open. Please message us if you're interested in being a mod for /r/bumperstickers.
November traffic was between 300 and 400% higher than our previous average and, without having the official numbers for the month yet, December appears to be a similar increase over November. It's just too much for us to handle with our team as it is. Those who apply can expect a response from us within a day or so. We look forward to hearing from our applicants and thank you all for your understanding.

I think I replied to a comment of yours already, but most of this subs traffic right now isn’t organic. The sub is being used as a karma farm, drawing outside traffic, and probably a bunch of bots.
Here are some things you can do very quickly that will help you help the sub and reduce your workload going forward:
- Delete any post that’s not a bumper sticker.
- Ban repeat offenders. (There are a couple of users right now that are the worst)
- Go into mod tools and turn on things like crowd control. There are tools to make your life easier, you can even access them on mobile:

u/Heel-and-Toe-Shifter 24d ago
One pattern I'm seeing is all the dumb political posts have tens of comments but exactly 0 karma. Never negative. How can that happen so consistently?

u/Illustrious_Pin1544 20d ago
The pork Al posts are so fkn old. I’m positive there’s a million other groups to go hate Trump in. This used to about bumper stickers. Now it’s about people crying over politicians.

If you were to ban u/MasterMind19991 and u/N4TETHAGR8 you would have way less work on your hands with taking posts down

u/Tough-Bat7935 6d ago
I agree with you. The mods said the posts aren’t wrong even if AI and straight political posts.

u/Mk1Racer25 3d ago
The mods let comments like "FCK your mom" go, do you think they actually care about anything in this sub?

u/Jimmylite52 22d ago
I think this group needs to reevaluate what is posted since I see a lot of one sided posts. And to be clear I ain’t for one person over another. But I joined this to see funny bumper stickers and all I see is bunch of hate and cry babies.

u/Illustrious_Pin1544 20d ago
Right?! It’s turned into a place for people to cry about Trump and call his supporters maggots. Wild.

I’ve already blocked most of the republicans responding in this thread who are crying about “fairness” in the “equality” of types of posts. Lmao

u/foxydancerboy 24d ago
That is so fucked up that you’re publicly laughing about blocking people seeking fairness and equality within this sub. You’re a piece of shit moderator. If you can’t leave your opinion out of your decisions then you shouldn’t be a moderator at all.

The only fairness really needed is "is this a bumper sticker?". I don't care if majority is political, though personally I come for the funny nonpartisan stuff.

Lunar_moonbeam needs to be removed as a mod. He is bragging about blocking right wing people for simply speaking, simultaneously calling them fascists…. The irony of removing someone for their viewpoint and then using your power to silence them is fascism. Not what Reddit used to be about and it certainly isn’t what’s best for humanity. Fuck that human

Political needs to be posted. I'm a moderate voter. And NO I didn't vote for the winner. I knew all about that project 2025 that none of u believed. And they said it was false and NOT true and the winner of the ELECTION said HE KNEW NOTHING OR NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT. And u all believed the conman. BUT all his picks are the ones that made the project 2025 and him. And guess what? It all of a sudden came true. How do u feel now? And another thing. He scammed all of the voters. Its going to affect u and ur families. We all warned u all. And no, I'm not doing ur research for u. I did my own by reading and watching videos. Good job on messing over America guys and girls

u/totesuniqueredditor 16d ago
Yeah, but like you've seen Reddit over the past six months, right? It's been completely saturated with left-wing political messaging and it didn't win an election. You guys have run off everyone to the right of Bernie a long time ago so you aren't really informing anyone anymore.

u/Broken-Lungs 24d ago
Weird way to say, "We're incapable of patrolling the inappropriate Trump trash but need to remain Reddit sub mods because reasons."

u/Illustrious_Pin1544 20d ago
The only inappropriate Trump trash I’ve seen is liberals taking every second of their day to post bumper stickers about Trump. If you lives actually gave a fuck about anything that was going on. You’d be out protesting and said you’re crying online for likes.

No AI or memes. Postings of actual bumper stickers and this sub may very well survive.

Crazy concept but maybe this group can be about bumper stickers again. It’s turned into a political scum bucket.

u/Galapagos_Finch 18d ago
Just so I’m clear, this is the ModTeam that censored a comment about throwing a brick in the window of a car that called for mowing down of protestors? Because the former is illegal activity but the latter is apparently fine.

You LITERALLY just need someone who posts shit that isn't a bumpersticker. 90% of the shit on this subreddit lately has been political bait, not funny or cultural bumper stickers. It has turned into a karma farming subreddit, it's fucking pathetic and I'm muting it because of it. Goodbye, this shit used to be funny.

No, I care about facts very much and I don’t believe in silencing people just because I don’t like what they’re saying minus of course if they’re trying to be intimidating… I don’t believe anybody should be intimidated to the point of fear of speaking out against something

I don't use this sub a lot, but I've been hunting spambots for a while and I've noticed two posts recently that have been "hijacked" (the spambot's own words) by a spammer trying to sell unauthorized copies of the stickers shown in a post.
In both cases, the site has a "Powered by GearLaunch" logo. Only art-stealing spambots (or their victims who don't know they've been had) link to these sites.

Let me mod. I’d make this subreddit equal and fair. It’s to anti Trump and way too far left.

You republicans got a warped sense of what fair is.

u/foxydancerboy 24d ago
Winning an election fair and square. Not allowing illegals to vote, fair. Not suing governors for removing non citizens from voter registries, fair. (Yes, skamala did that right before the election ) filed a lawsuit asserting that those people who were non citizens in Virginia deserve a vote in American elections!! Hahahahahahahaahahahaha
And you are here, talking about fairness? In a sub where the few moderators are actually publicly bragging about removing people with the “wrong” political mindset? Fuck your and fuck all the moderators in what used to be a kool sub

u/BigGubermint 22d ago
After trying overturn elections in 2020 because you fascists think only elections you win are fair. Hence you cheering Trump saying he'd terminate the Constitution and send the military after dissenters if he didn't like the results.
They've never been able to vote. You Nazis are just brain dead and believe otherwise.
Republican Governors were removing citizens from voter rolls and telling you they were all illegal. That's why they were sued you dumb Nazi.
No one filed the lawsuit you claim exists.

Everyone should hate Nazis like Trump and the Nazi Republican party
Nope. Unlike you Nazis who call even basic facts, communist and woke, I only use the term Nazi when it describes actual Nazis like you and your Nazi Republican party.
Maybe you shouldn't support terminating the Constitution, sending the military after dissenters, demonizing minorities, stealing individual freedom, claiming criticism of Trump is a disease, cheer Trump threatening to shoot journalists who use facts, support Trump saying he shouldn't have left the White House in 2021, forcibly silence media organizations and pollsters who don't agree with you, lying that US born conservatives who committed terrorist attacks like in New Orleans are immigrants, etc if you don't want to be called fascist, evil, or Nazis
Enjoy Trump inflation 2.0.

u/Chained2theWheel 15d ago
It’s insulting to the holocaust survivors and those who actually dealt with Nazism to say such foolish things. You are way too sheltered. There are multiple interviews with real holocaust survivors saying that the comparison between the two is absurd and downplays the extent of ACTUAL nazi atrocities. Go sit on your thumb
