[FYI] Requests are now automatically removed | Megalinks MegaDB [FYI] Requests are now automatically removed

I've tasked the auto-moderator to remove all request posts. Do not be discouraged to request content because of this. This is only to make it easier for folks to find requests they can fulfill. Do post your concerns in the comments below.

Since nobody seem to responded in the other thread i am re posting my comment here
May i suggest following /r/documentaries process, they host a requests thread once a week or something like that, requests can only go inside the requests thread, and all others are removed. I know it is gonna make some people angry (like it did, when i saw it in documentaries) but ultimately people will understand and eventually adapt.

One thread per day or every other day would be easier so that new or other users aren't discouraged when asking for something also it would group the requests into one thing because there are A LOT of requests each day.

I think the reason there are so many requests is that this sub gets more traffic as in posts/reply's than /r/megarequests and because of it that sub has been dying over the past few months.

Quick q on the split: will requests be replied to on their respective /r/megarequests threads and then reposted on /r/megalinks, or will all responses just be kept to /r/megalinks at this point? Or will it be up to the discretion of the poster?

Seconded.

It will be up to the discretion of the poster. But if the requested content is posted (or x-posted) here, the people who don't frequent r/megarequests will be able to enjoy it too.

Very good. Thanks for the reply!

My suggestion is to make a weekly (or monthly) sticktied post just for requests.

[-] LaTarte | 1 points | Jul 31 2016 00:14:02

definitely.

[-] swissglobetrotter | 1 points | Jul 31 2016 22:36:18

good idea

[-] indigo6alpha | 1 points | Aug 04 2016 03:58:03

Definitely something we're considering!

[-] ayushman-singh | 1 points | Aug 04 2016 04:05:24

Thanks! Also because the other sub doesn't get much t4affic.

The subreddit looks so pretty now...

[-] SquirreI | 3 points | Aug 02 2016 08:18:01

Could you do like /r/listentothis and set your bot to cross-post any removed requests from here to /r/megarequests/ and then notify the user that its been moved?

[-] vcdupper | 1 points | Jul 27 2016 19:05:18

Nice job sir!

[-] vcdupper | 1 points | Jul 27 2016 19:06:06

What I always do is post the request as a new post, then paste the link of the post to the request post

[-] vcdupper | 1 points | Jul 27 2016 22:41:58

How is this spam????

Done. Sorry it took me a week to get around to doing this. :)

[-] Nikolasv | 1 points | Jul 29 2016 03:29:42

Finally. So many times I would come to this sub to see what is posted lately to mega, but instead find lots of requests.
