New Subreddit Rule: Don’t Disrupt the Subreddit

98 Upvotes

I know this approach generates plenty of reports and complaints, but my general philosophy on moderation here is that people should feel free to discuss whatever they want, as frankly as they want, so long as it is relevant to the St. Charles area. The only other limitation is to follow Reddit’s sitewide rules, and even then, just so we don't get the subreddit banned.

That said, I am adding a new subreddit rule, effective immediately:

Don’t Disrupt the Subreddit

Do not flood the subreddit with excessive, repetitive, low-effort, or otherwise spam-like posts or comments. Moderation under this rule is based on behavior and posting patterns, not viewpoint or opinion, and repeated disruptive activity may result in removals, a temporary silence, or a ban.

I hope this is a rule I rarely, if ever, need to use. I also want to be clear that I will do my best to apply it based on conduct rather than the substance or popularity of someone’s opinions.

Fixed Automod - No longer removing all posts :/

15 Upvotes

My apologies. As you might have seen, there has been little to no activity the past few days.

It seems that when I setup Automod for the new rule, the lack of usernames in the author removal list causes it to remove all authors by default.

I have fixed this and tried to go back and approve removed comments/posts as best I can. Feel free to repost if you think this impacted visibility.

Thank you for those who messaged me to point out the issue.

Negative political ads

The anti-Cat Clayton ads have almost convinced to vote. For Cat. It’s a sad state of affairs when the best you can say about your qualifications is that one of your opponents is liberal.

hoffmann bros reviews all say pricey but they actually fix it... worth it on a 100 yr old south city house?

4 Upvotes

Boiler in our south city place is from the 80s and the tech who looked at it last winter basically patted it and said good luck. Got a quote for replacing it and the number made me put the folder down for a week.

Every review I find says the same two things in one breath: expensive, and the work holds up. I understand paying for the second part. What I can't tell is how that plays on a 100 year old house where every job opens a wall and finds a surprise. Cheap on an old house gets expensive in a different way, I've done that math once already.

If you put real money into an old place with them, did the price stay the price? And how did they handle the surprise in the wall part?

Found Cat - Please look to see if you recognize her!

About a week ago, we began seeing a recurring face on our cameras. A grey tabby with a collar with a turquoise bell on it. She's been essentially at our house every morning and evening. We've tried to get close to her, but she's not having it. Appears that she recently gave birth. No sign of the babies. I hate to see a cat that clearly is someone's companion out in an area that can have high traffic, etc.

I've gotten several pics. Mostly grainy because of doorbell camera. However, got one through the screen door on the patio just this morning. Please help find her family!

We have 3 cats in the house here, so it's possible that she knows it's safe to be near our house. But, she still isn't trusting enough to allow me or my husband get close.

Location: Off of Elm near Cole and Briarcliff.

I'm trying to identify a coffee place I've seen before

2 Upvotes

I've been searching google and I haven't seen anything familiar, so it might have been closed down since the last time I saw it.

I don't remember the exact location, but it was somewhere between Saint Peters and Lake Saint Louis and it was a part of a gas station—inside the same building, if I recall.

For some reason, I keep wanting to call it "The Coffee Bean" but I don't see any stores with a name like that, even having been closed down on google.

It was not a major chain like a Starbucks or Dunkin', but they did have their own website and ordering system. I remember that much. Unfortunately, I also don't have it bookmarked or otherwise saved in my history.

To try to be a bit more specific as to its location, I feel like it was either on the edge of one of the towns. You could see it off to the right and down a bit—which I know is not super helpful, but it's the best way I can think to describe it with how vague my memory of it is.

Republican attack ad falsely accuses Democratic opponent of supporting data centers, but his party is the one trying to build them in Missouri

Post image
81 Upvotes

Cat Clayton is running against Colin Wellenkamp in District 105 (which is the next district from where I am). His attack ads appear to involve blatant lies to try and trick people into voting for him.

Don't be fooled; he is not anti-data center or anti-AI at all.

You will find that all the pro-Republican ads in this cycle are filled with blatant lies, like their ad campaigns for Amendment 3.

Started a local tech repair business in O’Fallon!

57 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m David. I recently started CoreWrench, a small tech/electronics repair and support business based in O’Fallon, serving St. Charles County and nearby areas.

I work on computers, laptops, phones and gaming PCs - repairs, upgrades, troubleshooting and help getting things set up. I also take on board-level repairs and soldering work, like damaged HDMI ports and other connectors. Whether those repairs make sense depends on the device and damage, but I’m happy to take a look.

I’m open to odd jobs and unusual devices too, so feel free to ask even if it isn’t listed on the website. If I can’t help, I’ll tell you up front.

The website is https://corewrench.com, or you can call/text me at ‪(636) 336-8701‬ any time of day.

Mostly wanted to introduce myself since I’m getting started locally. Happy to answer questions here too.
