Meta Updates to r/yorku AutoModerator Settings

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We’ve updated r/yorku’s AutoModerator settings to make them more balanced and less disruptive.

The goal is simple: clear spam and unsafe links should be removed, but normal student posts should not be hidden unnecessarily.

AutoModerator should now be less aggressive with things like surveys, URL shorteners, Reddit links, crossposts, long titles, and comments on older posts.

It will still act on known scam/tracking links, affiliate spam, heavily reported content, and other obvious spam patterns.

For surveys/forms, AutoModerator may ask posters to provide basic context so students can tell whether the post is legitimate and relevant.

We’ll keep adjusting the settings if needed. If your post or comment gets removed by mistake, please message the mod team.

Rant Got yorked for the last time!

140 Upvotes

I attended the convocation today. First of all, there were alot of tech failures when showing the names of students on the screen. Some awards were not even announced by mistake and I was a victim of that. I was supposed to be magna cum laude, but the spokesperson missed to announce it. I know I shouldnt make a big deal out of this, but it literally took me blood, sweat, and tears to achieve that distinction, and I did not even had the chance to showcase it to the larger audience. Anyways, congrats to everyone who graduated today!

Advice Possible Strike this term?

20 Upvotes

I’ve seen a few people mention that the strike might happen this term mainly bc of how fast the conciliation phase has started this time, but is there an actual expected date we can expect the strike?

If it were to actually hit this semester would that cause our winter term classes to be delayed/suspended until after the strike is over? I know YUFA proffs can continue on with their classes, but Most of York has contract proffs and TA’s so many classes would still not be able to run. Wouldn’t this affect people trying to graduate in the spring then?

Heyy, I'm 19F in my second year and looking to make some friends (preferably F, but M is good too) to hang out with. I like playing video games and board games, down to ball up if ur into that, like trying out arts and crafts/DIY's and any activity that sounds fun and engaging like going to watch a movie or taking some sort of class.

I’m pretty much down to do whatever.

I’m super into Marvel and DC so feel free to hit me up if you’re down to do something :)

Advice Is the York bcomm good for gpa?

10 Upvotes

Hey guys I know the bcomm program isn’t the best but I also know that it leads to the same CPA if I choose that and also law school is something I am considering. I have heard it is insanely easy to keep a good gpa at bcomm York like finance or accounts is that true?? I know the common question that comes when I ask people this question is why yokr bcomm for law? It’s because in case I don’t get into law I can always do cpa which is the same regardless of the uni you go to. I would really appreciate any help

Advice The Quad won’t let me terminate my lease early. What can I do?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I currently live at The Quad at York and need to move out early due to personal reasons.
I contacted management to ask if I could terminate my lease early, and I even offered to give up my last month’s rent deposit. However, they refused and keep telling me that I have to find someone to take over my lease.
I’ve been trying to find a replacement, but it’s been really difficult. I’ve explained my situation multiple times, but they won’t consider any other options.
Has anyone dealt with a similar situation at The Quad? Is there any way to negotiate an early lease termination without finding someone to take over the lease?
I’d also appreciate recommendations for free legal advice or tenant services in Toronto that could help me understand my options.
Thanks in advance!

Event Paid Opportunity: looking for 8-10 people going out in King West on Halloween ($20)

10 Upvotes

Hello all,

Postgrad student from Toronto here, my co-founder and I built an app called Crowdy. It tells you what's actually happening tonight: real crowd levels, happy hours, live events, drink prices, and more, all to answer one simple question, "What's the move?"

We're running a one-night Toronto field test this Halloween (Saturday, October 31). We need 8 to 10 people already heading out in King West that night.

We are focusing this field test on King West specifically, so this is for people who are already planning to be in the area anyway. When you're at a venue, open the app and report how busy it is, how long the line was, what drink prices are, and what the cover was, from at least two venues you're at anyway. About 20 seconds each, so roughly a minute of actual work across the night.

$20, e-transferred Sunday, November 1, after a short survey about how the app worked.

  • Nobody will be asked to drink, to stay out longer, or to spend money.
  • Pay is for observations only and has nothing to do with time on premises or purchases.
  • Nobody will be asked to post reviews, promote the app, or say anything publicly.
  • Must be 19+ and share a photo of valid I.D

Form is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lUftK0BtMYzeTM-s2OuXSfbav0gk3vQ4ylyt0RMlAC4/viewform

Get the app here: https://bit.ly/4yM3Q43 (iPhone and Android)

Happy to answer questions in the comments.
