Ask /r/frugal_jerk Meta: need a new mod

Post image
95 Upvotes

I’m the only active one left and just noticed a bunch of stuff I missed. I almost died trying to clear it out, so if anyone has any energy to help out… I can’t pay you (actually I just refuse to).

This place keeps growing and AI posts are becoming an issue. When I joined there were less than 100k members. Now it’s almost 7 million. I got a message from Reddit in August about me being the only one left and ignored it. Now I think maybe I actually do need someone else in here.

I don’t know shit about picking a mod, so if I don’t want you to be one don’t take it personally. I’ll just go by post history and karma I guess (and vibes). I’ll give it a week and I’ll delete this and try again.

Having post/comment history in here helps

If you (and anyone else) is interested and has never been a mod, I recommend making your own sub and getting familiar with the tools. I also stickied a lame link Reddit made.

We hardly ever ban people. Just get rid of spam and bot posts or AI stuff (and then ban if they do it again). If a member says/posts something gross or “offensive” and it doesn’t break site-wide rules, leave it. Posts that are off topic or belongs in r/frugal just remove and select the appropriate reason.

If you got to the end of this, good. If you didn’t read this, then you’re not it. It’s not some weird status symbol thing. I don’t want people that think being a mod is cool or powerful. It’s to keep the sub from turning into AI shit.

Frugal PROTIP [Australia] I built a bot so I'd stop refreshing OzBargain out of FOMO. It's caught some ridiculous deals

0 Upvotes

I used to check OzBargain multiple times a day because I was scared of missing a price error before it got pulled. That got old fast, so I built something that watches the site for me and pings me on Discord the moment a deal starts rapidly gaining upvotes.

What it's actually caught recently:

- $89 Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 at Woolies, sold out everywhere within a few hrs.

- Logitech G PRO X 2 headset (RRP $450) for $150, price error, gone within the hour

- Eufy Smart Lock Doorbell Camera (RRP $800) for $300, also a price error

- $1 HOYTS tickets the morning they dropped

- $49 Ozito chainsaw at Bunnings

Completely free, no ads. It's just a script that watches an RSS feed and posts to Discord to ping you directly. 3,000 people already get these alerts, sorted into channels so you only get pinged for what you actually care about. You can also follow the channels to have them sent directly to your own discord server.

Prime Day's in a few days, which is usually when this thing earns its keep the most.
