Based on what happened yesterday my projection was way off

I assume in the "more expensive" end. I'm not super familiar with reddit API, but it sounds like you probably aren't filtering response data right.

Lyrad (Crybad)

Do we need to throw you in hiatus?

I just came off a long hiatus! And the phone is ... Mostly okay. But doesn't really work for reviewing a regular's full post history.

Definitely more expensive. And now much as I want to blame Reddit on this one it's not their fault

8:47 AM

We can chat about it offline I'll show you what I built

8:47 AM

But no worries I have about a month to figure it out

Or will break the SCC bot, our bot, the sub bots and maybe some poor random sub's bot like r/freefolk

8:53 AM

Rip BobbyB bot

Anything is possible,I guess

8:53 AM

It's too accurate an assessment for me to push back on

1

Good morning all! (Sorry to be my-time-zone-centric). Hope everyone is doing well.

... I hate to ask. Is the bot down?

10:48 AM

@luma44

...

10:48 AM

It best not be

10:49 AM

So, looks like it's not reporting on either discord.

It could be a quiet day on the sub where everyone is well behaved and nothing needs modding

Technically this means that it's not my fault LumaCelebrate

10:49 AM

However

10:49 AM

It also means it's harder to fix.

10:49 AM

Whomp whomp

I'd rather ot be your fault tbh

Me too

You know.... none of this would be an issue if we didn't create the SCC.

2

Whoever thought it up is on my shit list /j

10:50 AM

I restarted the bot

10:51 AM

In general, this seems to be all that is required

10:52 AM

So in instances like this where it's not reporting to our review this channel it won't push here

10:52 AM

That doesn't prevent us from manually sharing any queue items that pop up

10:52 AM

But it does mean that neither will see them in discord

Your bot only takes stuff from our discord and pushes it here right?

Correct.

10:53 AM

I know that we're putting a great deal more strain on it than usual by virtue of the fact that it is now reporting everything

10:53 AM

So there may be some growing pains

10:53 AM

Theoretically it should be back up and running momentarily

Should we kick up the threshold to 2 reports? Or keep it as is for now and tweak it later?

I think we should debate it... Like I said earlier the pro is that it reduces the volume to eliminate false positive reports

10:54 AM

But it does limit the transparency that were hoping to provide

10:54 AM

Were I a skeptical member of the SCC I would ask myself why we're not seeing everything

Keep it as is for awhile until the SCC cries for mercy from all the reports

I honestly just want it to work the way I want it to work (edited)

10:55 AM

Alas

I honestly just want moass.

2

10:56 AM

I'm going to straight up ghost you when moass happens, never to been seen/heard from again.

10:56 AM

❤️

So, sidestepping that bait to be mean...

10:57 AM

It is a slow day so far

10:57 AM

This is our queue. Nothing has been reported

10:58 AM

That hollywood thing is the last report.

10:58 AM

And crowd control is reddit-level and doesn't report

So, as it happens, all is good

It's a Tuesday. People are Zen. S'all Goodman

Hey team, defo hoping to spend a little more time in here soon - and incidentally - it's amazing to have you all here! You are all incredible! But if you guys get a hot minute, come check out the activism channel. Any help with protecting DRS from the UK Government who want to see the removal of UK shareholder's legal ownership and the title transfer of their assets into a "nominee structure" is pretty much, very fucked up. And as such - deserves as much attention as we can give it. Got a little info happening here - https://discord.com/channels/1098133959843512320/1111313223786967142/1153422440534384722 But yeah - any help or input would be wicked. Deadline is 25th September - and I dunno about you, but stickin it to these guys is going to be such a wicked flex post-MOASS. Get involved - and you guys rock!

So @guantanamo_babies_say_heyy , if you click on the drop down in the upper left

3:20 PM

you'll get this

3:20 PM

go to notification settings

3:21 PM

turn on only @ mentions

3:21 PM

Now say you wanted your phone to ping every time there was a new post to look at under #specific-post-discussion . You right click on the channel

3:22 PM

Now you will get pinged anytime you are @ed, OR a new post is created

3:22 PM

you can customize any channel this way

Got it. Thanks!. Is there a way to save the information you are presenting?

3:23 PM

Or, Like a post I'd like to review later?

save the how-to? or save a post you want to review?

3:23 PM

(or both)

both (and I appretiate your help)

no problem, i've been in discord for a long time.

3:24 PM

so nothing ever gets erased from the server, so as far as saving posts to review, those shouldn't go away

3:25 PM

the posts under #specific-post-discussion will fall to inactive and be hidden after no comments for 48 hours, but they never disappear completely

oh ok.

We are trying to find the balance between letting the SCC deliberate as well as doing our job and keeping the queue clean, so hollar at us if there's something you dont like

@Waitingonawait Hey, I saw your comment in the ask-a-mod, I think that's supposed to go in the #specific-post-discussion group.

it's all good @SPCΞMΞmbΞr593 , i had a hard time getting used to keeping things in the right channels.

7:55 PM

when i first joined the mod team

7:56 PM

You're a mod, so you'll get this. If you know the username of someone on the sub, usually it's a bad thing

Yeah

7:58 PM

You just feel like you are in a conversation at a party and it follows you from room to room and subject to subject.

The very first person who's name I learned from sub interactions was Rough_Willow

7:59 PM

and now we are here

8:00 PM

progress!

OK, so you mentioned you were Gen-X. Were you like me, doing the dial up thing before the Internet was a thing?

8:00 PM

And when the Internet became a thing you were like... pfffft...

Oh lord yea. I remember the yellow pages actually put out an Internet Phone Book with like 80% of what the WWW was at the time

8:01 PM

My ICQ number was 6 digits long (in college)

hah yeah. I grew up in NYC so there were a lot of BBS' around back in those days. When they started to link their chats to other BBS' across the country I was like 'whoa'. Now I could be on a toilet flying 600 MPH over the Atlantic and responding to you in this discord.

well fuck, i remember having a party line until i was 5

I am not, but it 'could' happen. (edited)

8:02 PM

You from Texas with the Party line? I hear that story a lot down here.

8:02 PM

Where I am now...

hmmm, must just have been a rual thing

I'm in my mid 40s, so the latter 1/2 of gen x

Ah, I'm a bit older by a few.

8:04 PM

So you were a 56k kinda guy. I started with 300bps

8:04 PM

On my Vic-20

yea, i cut my teeth on the 9600

8:04 PM

14.4 was screaming

300 to 1200 baud was like magic the first time a page loaded.

8:05 PM

I gasped I'm sure

8:05 PM

OK, so I see DJ is a mod here. My wife and I had a bet for a bit that it was AI and not a real dude. Who wins the bet?

I...don't....know

Exactly!

DJ walks and talks like a person, engages really well

8:06 PM

but how in da fuk can he post so much shit everyday

8:07 PM

(seriously, i've talked to him on the discord many times over the year, hes not an AI, unless AI has gotten really good) (edited)

Its not quantity, its the in depth quality

8:07 PM

Must be an android or something.

8:07 PM

8:08 PM

DJ hitting 'post'

there's 2 people who hit the post limit all the time

8:08 PM

The quality difference between them is staggering.

Well one was booted long ago, then got extra booted recently.

who are you thinking of?

Miller

i'm thinking of welp

oh yeah him too

8:09 PM

but I don't recall thinking welp was overdoing it.

8:09 PM

Ahh, Goose is here too. Cool. I am in a lot of Goose modded discords for some reason.

I wasn't a part of the miller ban, in fact my announcement as mod was pushed a month because of the incident (we can cover that someday in #ask-a-mod ). The team didn't want me to get off to a bad start because of the miller drama.

Yeah, best to leave that for the 10 year anniverasry interviews.

8:11 PM

When its been 94 years that have gone by

SPCΞMΞmbΞr593

Just a thought but if anyone makes a post in #specific-post-discussion for content to review. They can copy a link to the posts starting message (hold down on it on mobile or right click on pc to find the option) into #tag-a-mod . Cross discord linking works if you have access to both, which we do.

Not really sure this is the place to ask this but fudge it... i can't figure out why i can't get my post to go through.. says i can't link to a username or w.e. but i cannot find where the link is..

So the bot sometimes picks up /u or u/ mid URL. I see a couple but I think it's only u/ rather than /u On mobile I can't see the links that are embedded or shortened or whatever you call it (e.g. "source" being the link) If you go through your links and look for a u/ maybe you'll find one?

5:49 AM

Probably the best place to put something like this is modmail to us still. Gives us a bunch of tools we can work off of.

I don't think that is it.. looked and i really can't see anything. Am i now allowed to link to other posts or something?.. should i go and submit it through modmail?

Modmails probably best so we can arrange to have it approved or figure out the issue

Waitingonawait

I don't think that is it.. looked and i really can't see anything. Am i now allowed to link to other posts or something?.. should i go and submit it through modmail?

could be this, could also be the 2 links to r/GME

7:25 AM

I dont see it posted on superstonk though

it wouldn't even let me post it.. it went straight from being over 40000 characters to you cannot link username... I'll try ditching that one and see if it works

sometimes if you copy/paste you can go over the limit, but once you edit that breaks it

7:26 AM

reddit is weird

nope.. even tried starting a new post from scratch and i still get this little message when i hit post...

weird.. that's not an automod thing, thats a restriction that reddit made on us... try clicking through all your links to see if you see a u/ anywhere

7:54 AM

maybe this one?

7:54 AM

actually no prob not that one

whats weird is it is not getting caught by the automod, at least to me as well... why i was asking whats up, thanks for looking!

maybe this one

found it i think!

this link I'm getting an "access denied" msg when I click it

LOL yep that'll do it

Not sure if this is the right channel in discord for this: but at some point posts saying "Go See The Movie", might need to be calmed down? Ehh, I don't know. I'm baised because I'm dislike the movie. But, I can be very wrong about it's effects. Heck "the Susaze Summers" effect... might happen, who knows. I've got to go to class.

anyone around that can check some quick math for me?

1:05 PM

I'm responding to this comment

1:05 PM

1:06 PM

it's about the assumed autobuy spike on Computershare buy days

1:06 PM

This is my response but I'd love for someone to check my math

Lyrad (Crybad)

This is my response but I'd love for someone to check my math

My maths is mid but I can try

I think personally, it's a matter of consistency. Say your spending $200 every two weeks. If the Computershare auto buy price is $0.50 higher than if you were to buy it yourself (this is a large leap, because more than once, the Computershare buy price is in the middle of what the daily high/low is), you would be looking at 11.11 shares via auto buy at $18 vs 11.43 shares by buying it $17.50 manually. So you'd get about an extra 7.68 shares a YEAR by doing it manually (and always getting it .50 cheaper) All you need to do is miss one manual buy (11 shares) to negate the entire year of difference in share price by using auto buy (edited)

1:08 PM

(this is assuming GME's prices is around $18, it's not exact, but the theory should hold at any price)

252 trading days on average each year for NYSE. Average price 17.5 for shares purchased. I get 7.2 shares ($126) a year (which makes your point more) (edited)

Well, yeah, it scales. The lower the price, the more significant that $.50 savings

1:11 PM

Instead, you should look at it on a percentage savings basis

1:11 PM

Let's say you can get 10% more, because you get the shares 10% cheaper

1:12 PM

So, 26 autobuys a year times 200 a buy

1:12 PM

$5200 a year in purchasing power

1:12 PM

You can scale that to 5720 if you get a 10% discount on each by by doing it manually (edited)

1:13 PM

If the cost of shares are 10/share, lets say

1:13 PM

You'd get 520 shares a year, automatically (edited)

1:13 PM

And 572 manually

It's 2x monthly right? so 24 auto buys (just splitting hairs now)

No one is ever going to buy these shares at the best price each day. It's basically people saying they're going to gamble and win via day trading at that point anyway imo.

Lyrad (Crybad)

Is it biweekly or bimonthly?

1:13 PM

If it's bimonthly it would be 24

1:14 PM

Which, you're right, it probably is

luma44

Is it biweekly or bimonthly?

Hi Tib!

1:16 PM

Appears to be twice a month

1:16 PM

I don't see evidence that there have ever been three purchases in one month

Bit if a headache so I can’t math now. However, why does he care about money going to option players? If I’m the guy who bought calls and used that spike to sell, why is that an issue? I’ve chatted with Ultimator a few times about this and the idea of 0dte’s on CS buy days. Is it worth the risk of going balls deep on? No. But if you are flipping a small amount of cash into a larger amount of cash it’s a positive for that ape. (edited)

I'm not addressing the option side, just the "well know they are not getting the best execution" portion

Lyrad (Crybad)

I'm not addressing the option side, just the "well know they are not getting the best execution" portion

Oh. I mean right on. Personally I wished people cared enough to look at any data rather than just a flat buy on payday mentality. Mid/late aug great example of that. People dive in because it’s a price insiders bought at when the trend in movement said down-go would continue. Like just clip the coupon folks and be patient.

You know... Hot take. Lemmy isn't a risk to Superstonk. Not really. It's another place to get discussions about GME going

There is no discussion there. They host PB and said they will talk about DRS, they didn't even ask PBs opinion on DRS and talked amongst themselves for the rest of the spaces.

I will be the first to admit, I've never listened to one of their spaces.

that comment was partially about me lol, i told foo-bar earlier in another discord that i played options on the CS recurring buy once i saw today was the day for it from an earlier superstonk post, i bought a weekly $18 call just before 11 and sold it 15 minutes later for a 40% gain

2:56 PM

i can retire now, i made a whole $7 minus commission

How did Lyrad put it? "Running in front of a steam roller to pick up pennies"?

lol yeah, i mostly did it for fun, only risking $16 to see how it went. i wasn't going to make a huge amount no matter what, especially since i was going to exit by 11:30 win or lose. it was pure gambling with a little bit of playing an expected pattern. buying calls isn't normally my thing, i sell puts regularly though

its just a weird thing. Like how many other times will you ever know the exact hour when a bunch of orders will hit the exchange at once and they arent odd lots? Practically never.

CS buys created an anomaly. Lol

I havea new strat for next time. I've been looking for option plays on the CS bump for a long time and backtesting it has never worked out net positive

CS has the best execution for getting REAL DRS'd shares. All others have failed to do so. I'll pay the extra couple cents for that.

guantanamo_babies_say_heyy

CS has the best execution for getting REAL DRS'd shares. All others have failed to do so. I'll pay the extra couple cents for that.

So if I get better execution on Fidelity and then DRS those....didn't Fidelity get me better execution for real drs'd shares? (edited)

@TiberiusWoodwind do that too both are good. Sometimes it's nice to have the CS buy out of site out of mind. I have multiple savings accounts and bills paid automatically. To each their own.

right but you said that "all others have failed to do so". Is that a statement that can be backed up factually because given the example I tossed out it seems any broker who allows drs can get you better execution than CS and you still get drs'd shares (edited)

ok so closer to what we are discussing, can I just get a better price on broker. probably more accurate to this discussion

Idk if that's true. We could take the price I got shares twice a month and compare to the high and low of month

6:05 PM

I'll bet random buying will end up being the same as trying to time the bottom every month

If I sell a share for a million, a few cents saved is trivial, right?

I don't have a million dollars

Platinumsparkles

Idk if that's true. We could take the price I got shares twice a month and compare to the high and low of month

I could buy 10 minutes before on a broker on the day Ultimator says the CS autobuys will fill.

6:07 PM

that alone would beat the CS price

Fire means good to people slightly younger than me.

Not yet, but perceived savings on a buy need the perspective of a sell to really get the true value of better execution.

For now we have limited resources

ok, so like I said let's focus on what the discussion is more about, the price people buy at. Here is just September. Yellow dots are from Ultimators posts on where CS buys occurred and fill price. Blue dots are if someone just waited for hourly RSI to find a bottom below 40 (meaning they waited for the hour after to see if came back up). If I have time this weekend I'll go month to month and see how consistently this could work

So do nothing vs watch the ticker all day

You can set an alarm on RSI to ding your phone if it goes below 40

Probably one of those things we'll not learn until it's all over, if ever.

Closest guess is it’s related to the swap theory. That the manipulation aspect is really the extreme moves that bounce us off the sides and what we see within are not illogical or unpredictable movements. The goal of keeping GME within the structure is so the swap stays profitable

Is this the new safe space for speculation talk

Yeah, it's pretty funny to watch the downdoots always hit in a set number. We've done it a few times in posts in the discord. The book kings are not subtle.

Excuse me, I prefer the term Book Queens. It's kind of like size queen, but for books.

Lairian -Flairy Type-

I'd also count myself among them. There's been enough to not pass my smell test. It's why I buy in a broker and DRS when they've settled.

I do the same, to be fair. I'm fully book, as a consequence of transferring from Fidelity. I don't consider myself a Book Queen since that's associated with other tin foil and behavior in my mind at this point.

10:22 AM

If they could focus on their message and education instead of slogans and bullying it would be one thing. But every time I see "Now book 'em, King!" on a post where someone transferred from a broker? Ugh.

Then they came out with the last YouTube video where Paul was talking about fractionals

That's pretty fascinating

So regarding https://www.reddit.com/user/Such_Cry_Much_Meme, A user asked why they were even allowed to post considering their karma is well below the karma requirements. Is !apeprove! still a thing?

No, it's not. It flags us and we do manual review and approvals.

6:44 AM

As far as this person...

They've become pretty antagonistic

6:45 AM

I just redacted the names of the mods that have touched them... But you can see that they've been active since October of 21

6:46 AM

Nobody ever manually approved them to post... I wonder if maybe they were in before any defense filters were in place

6:46 AM

Or if they were approved by apeprove at some point

6:46 AM

I can look into that further but either way this isn't like a recent addition to our sub

6:46 AM

It's unfortunate... But sometimes good apes get frustrated and lash out

makes sense

7:11 AM

Found it. It's been a really inactive account but it was approved by satori. Typically, when one of these sleeper accounts (that may have been sold) suddenly comes online after a long period of inactivity we would override satori and unapprove them (edited)

7:11 AM

It's effectively a ban because they don't have the karma to continue posting

7:13 AM

What say the group about doing so in this case?

If we leave this then we're leaving a call out post if you know about the post I removed

In my opinion this comes down as being unrelated to GME

A reminder that !apeaprove! was previously a thing can go a long way to explain why something happened. If there needs to be a discussion on reversing those previous approvals, that can happen. As this targets a single user, that might still be worth removing.

I swear the plan / book arguing is planted lol There's no way people are STILL gatekeeping DRS this hard and this adamantly. The amount of hate I've received/ seen other receive for merely choosing to not auto-buy and transfer through Fidelity, is odd.

I think people forget what FUD is. FUD isn't something you dislike. It's just giving enough doubt for someone to stop what they are doing and wait.

12:18 PM

I felt like a scumb bag when I was in medical sales. Sometimes after a 2 hour presenation, while I was walking out the door (literally). I'd say 1 short phrase. That short phase was the true purpose of the presenation. That short phase might have been enough subtle down to cause a change. Then, from a distance over months, I'd watch.

I don't like fractions. Fractionals are worse.

Word, but folks don’t understand that they are aggregated at CS. There aren’t thousands of fractionals. CS holds full shares, their DirectStock system is what tracks individual ownership. So I might own .25 of one share and you own .75 of a share but CS just owns the full share and tells us how much of that we each own.

I just don't like seeing them aesthetically on my reports, but I realize that's a bad reason to dislike them and silly. I can't help my brain valuing whole numbers.

Lairian -Flairy Type-

I just don't like seeing them aesthetically on my reports, but I realize that's a bad reason to dislike them and silly. I can't help my brain valuing whole numbers.

Word. I only do my orders in whole numbers. At this price it’s not like getting a full share is a big ask. But from CS perspective, there are none. If you, me, and 3 others all had .2 of a share in plan, CS owns 1 share. And their own literature says it. Plan shares are held in aggregate. Doesn’t matter how many thousands of fractions you add, you’ll end up with a whole number and something between 0 - .99. For simplicities sake I’d imagine at that point they just round up that last one.

1:15 PM

Conn: We need to maintain a small portion of the inventory at DTC so that we can have effective settlement when ppl are selling.

1:17 PM

Now back to typically 10-20% for OE, that % will go up only if there are more sell orders via CS

I would have loved a hard finish on "And even if plan were loanable, which they're not, a fraction in plan does not influence book in any way.".

Chato35

Those 10-20 % shares are used for executing best price, like when you sell.

That seemed to be the most common conclusion, but they disproved it themselves when they pulled the leak-the-ledger stunt I think. Annoyingly they still claim this in sub comments all the time.

It is getting debunked 1 part at a time.

There's not that much left to debunk

Market volatility was a lie. 1 24mm volume out of 5 quarterly drs numbers

2:48 PM

Ledger also showed plan+ book is eeported by GameStop

2:48 PM

Remember, this was terminate Plan this that = more drs numbers

Yep

Do you want to argue " locates" even though there is no such thing as locate. There is only borrow

Bias disclaimer and ownership, while I'm 100% book and get that there's little reason not to change over autobuys every once in a while, the absolutist rhetoric they seem to not really understand themselves has me pretty anti-Book Queen.

And locates don't matter while there are still hundred million + institutional and ETF shares for locates

2:53 PM

I think moving whole shares from Plan to Book is still preferable, but this irrefutable, immediate demand to terminate Plan and kill off fractionals is part of a dead theory.

Hardcore apeism introduces exclusionary behaviour. Exclusionary behaviour drives out anybody but the most hard-core. With decreased adoption and an increasing echo chamber of the same all-or-nothing sentiment, the whole movement slows to a crawl. IMO, there's a bunch of data that can correlated to support this theory (but not causation). The slowing of DRS (mainstar not withstanding), consistently downtrending trading volume, lower active users in the discord. Its also near impossible to accuse someone of being a shill by being so hard-core pro-GME I.e. the perfect cover. The reverse, its phenomenally easy to accuse an average joe that doesnt understand ape culture as a shill. It's an "Eat the Sub from within" checkmate- something I've been calling out as a risk for pretty much a year now in the discord cos I don't use reddit besides lurking

I think it's less so important to use your name, than it is to get the information out - so do what you feel comfortable with doing. There's no obligation to do anything you don't want to do. Really - you could go by any number of names - it's not as if they are cross referencing this. The important thing is that we are telling them we want DRS protected, and the content as included within the email. So if you want to sign it: Dr. Mantis Toboggan, PHD (lol) or Miss. Felicity Hucwell - or any number or reasonably realistic names - go for it. I know personal safety is a concern for some apes which is also why you can also generate a free email account to use to - if you wish to keep your identity withdrawn.

When bank stocks were being halted and removed, I saw apes have their options expire because they couldn't exercise or sell them. I worry the same will happen with a rocketing stock with halts every moment there could be one.

When bank stocks were being halted and removed, I saw apes have their options expire because they couldn't exercise or sell them. I worry the same will happen with a rocketing stock with halts every moment there could be one.

This is one of the huge reasons against short dated options. If moass starts tomorrow and I have April calls, there will be a time that I can sell them off.

12:58 PM

Also as a side note, you can exercise options even when the ticker is halted

No. I mean weeklies can be fun if you have a good reason to believe a lot of movement will happen very soon. But if you are wrong they punish you quickly.

Would it be appropriate outline the shield and add the “BUY. HODL. DRS.” as text? Kind of like how you see that with Latin text in other shields, etc.

I might be able to change that text but that's how automod reports when it catches a word.

8:40 AM

So, you know how we were going to approve Biden/Trump but have them report? Our automod is looking for those words and will self report them as a "possible violation". I know it sounds foreboding but that's how the !mods! and !SCC! Tags work. It's a total using automod against reddit move since they took away tags (edited)

I think that the !mods! Tag won't report here because technically qvbot/flairy is looking for those.

Rough_Willow

You've always been trouble!

Now now, let's cool things down before somebody says something hurtful that isn't true.

Asking this here cause I think it ties to the China/Macro discussion we are having on one of the threads What are peoples thoughts on another round of the DD week but this time specifically with Macroeconomic topics? October is usually a dump month anyway for markets and I think that’ll make it all the less likely we will see GME doing anything spectacular during that time. As part of this, the idea is a push towards getting away from just dumping article links and moving towards posts where OP is contextualizing the information.

1

Might invite DD authors to compare what they've written to what we've seen in macoeconomic news?

Rough_Willow

Might invite DD authors to compare what they've written to what we've seen in macoeconomic news?

Right on. Or even make sure a common theme is the author discerning whether their topic has a direct correlation to GME or if it really is just bigger market news. Would be nice for people to hear that sometimes the world doesn’t revolve around a singular stock

Some will say yes, some will say no, mods will be accused of an agenda and cherry picking instead of taking volunteers. It's like this happened before recently!

I have no idea if it's a good idea or chaos waiting to happen but I think it's worthy of discussion!

9:29 AM

I can make a channel in "Projects" to discuss if you're serious about it.

Lairian -Flairy Type-

Some will say yes, some will say no, mods will be accused of an agenda and cherry picking instead of taking volunteers. It's like this happened before recently!

Right. Maybe give the community a list of macro topics/posts and picking who they want to invited for the week or leave it open in the comments for people to nominate. Cause ultimately, if someone doesn’t want to participate, community can’t complain about a person not wanting to join

Oooh, so like...set aside four hours to chat, ask for proposal submissions, take the top 8 relevant 30 minute talks? I hesitate to use doots because how easily swung and brigaded, but that would neatly clip bias accusations.

Also, I don’t think or at least can’t remember about any macro topics thatve been problematic

That's fair, usually the worst that happens is a transparent attempt to make it red/blue instead of up/down.

Ooh. Good point there. So maybe pushing it as macro topics with one goal being a neutral stance on political parties?

9:36 AM

Like focusing on content of laws/rules and not the writers

It's tricky, because you can't really talk about the rail strike without bringing up Biden blocking it as one example. I don't mind anyone blaming Biden's administration on that, it's concrete and undeniable. But it's a step away from the tired talking points, is all. I don't have an answer here. I wish I did.

9:39 AM

Just to underline though, if we can organize this it's a fantastic idea and we should proceed, I'm just noting a worry. Let me know and we'll bend over backwards to set up a Discord stage for talks, screen shares, and Q&As.

I'm sad now.

It just blows my mind. half the graph is meaningless as its pre-sneeze so you know that helps seeing a flat line. Then we get it in linear scale which is a giant fucking red flag. OP still doesnt actually analyze anything, yeah each year has a lower price it hangs around. taking that much time to get to profitability will do that to you.

Also, wtf is the comment section. Shit like this is why the sub is smooth. Post nonsense, watch it upvoted despite it providing nothing of value and no actual discussion in comments. There is one single comment that refers to volume dropping and 136 others that say nothing.

9:25 PM

And one of the top posts on the sub asks why if you google superstonk the first auto suggest is delusional. like fucking really. idk man, maybe if the front page of the sub didn't look like the efforts of a 10 year old the place might get taken a bit more seriously. not a lot more. but you know, a little.

Quality dropped since the API

I know I'm a broken record but I feel like the sub desperately needs people to actual write out and explain what and why they are posting something. Maybe its the grumpy old man in me who is just sick and tired of watching gen z's lazy af work ethic, but holy fuck when I start looking at the meltdown sub and saying "you know they make some valid arguments" I find that a bit concerning

heres what kills me though, I get that data from Deep Dive Stocks. comes out nightly after 8pm. The guy who runs that place knows superstonk well enough. The issue is that for him, mass sharing content like that takes away from his business model. I asked him about it when I joined the site about sharing data and his general thought is sharing is ok but remember the value of it to the user base. So do I want to mass share nightly the correct interpretation.....eh not really since it is a paid service that I'd be mass distributing.

Yeah, that's tough. I wish that we could support the "good guys" that provide retail data, but it crosses the line of self-promotion if we give away free marketing... and it's unfair for us to distribute content like that for free when there is value to it

you know what really blows my mind, this guys data reports (deep dive stocks guy) are all based on options data. you'd fucking be amazed at how often you will know the general direction the price is heading the next day based on these

Give me a second to catch up. Just finished watching Dumb Money

8 page report (7 if you ignore disclaimer page on end) that breaks down which side bought/sold what for options. no bias or interpretation, just the data. and its available on every ticker. While the sub largely hates on options, guess what, whatever these bigger players do with them gives a pretty clear indication of where you are heading. and the sub that can't fucking handle writing a paragraph calls that bullshit. just blows my mind

Where is this data from? Is there a website? I'd like to look into it

I can tell you today, mm sold 1391% more puts today compared to yesterday. and thats up 251% over 5 days and 245% over 10 days. In fact mm sold -17% as many calls today compared to yesterday. Price is heading down. homeboy with his data dump post and thinking it hopefully means bullish is giving the exact backwards explanation of what is actually occurring

Can i chime in just a bit here? There is a slow shift happening in the sub. Options, which used to be 100% taboo, are now being talked about more and more these days. This is a wonderful time to take some time to educate, rather than pointing out all the flaws in what people are seeing. That list is from ATP and is one of the few non-paid resources for scanning options flow. Personally Tib, I do think that these particular options were not dealer side calls, they were almost all sold at the ask. There was a shitton of puts (which you just touched upon) which overwhelmed the positive delta from those $19Cs

10:19 PM

Even IF they are wrong, there's more and more discussion about options on Superstonk (a good thing). Maybe it's time to spin up a dealer side DD on options and what they do/mean (edited)

when the guy posted about them

honestly, it should stay up and the questions should be asked (even with you knowing the answer) about the dealer long/short options

10:22 PM

let it be a teaching moment about something people are too afraid to talk about

10:23 PM

Trust me, as a mod, there is nothing worse then watching people go down the wrong path. It can be infuriating

Yeah theres no reason to pull it now. but for a worthwhile discussion on this topic you'd probably want to pull in justin because it's his data we'd need to be sharing to explain why just going off ATP is problematic

10:24 PM

but the longer the guy with ATP keeps sharing that data, the more people will say "well the options talk is always wrong"

But just like diamond hands, or DRSing or any other major part of this saga, you cant really tell people what to do or they wont be 100% on board. Learning it for themselves is much more important and we try to facilitate a place for discussion

10:25 PM

Post data/DD, discuss it, debunk it, disprove it, confirm it.

10:26 PM

This is why the whole Heat Lamp really rubbed us the wrong way. It wasn't the content. It was posted elsewhere in an echo chamber and then taken as fact. If the OP would have posted it and brought backup when it was questioned, the whole HLT may not have been such a dividing issue.

10:27 PM

Plenty of DD has been disproven on the sub and the OPs go on to write amazing DD afterwards

(i'm about to go to bed, but i'll catch back up in the morning)

10:30 PM

Don't get yourself in trouble with DDS data. Maybe ask justin if you can use a heat map from a month ago or something

I'm amazed by the people judging it based on whether or not it mentions DRS. That wasn't even in the popular ape lexicon during the time period the movie takes place in. It'd be like asking if they talk about fighter jets in a revolutionary war biopic.

The movie ends before DRSing started. It would be completely out of timeline context

First you make a super unrealistic demand, then you cry foul when your demand goes unmet. IMO, the sentiment is manufactured.

Many did the same with Apes Together Strong. They mentioned DRS, but not 69 times so they are obviously grifters.

I think from an initial optics; the trailor portayed DFV as a pasty feable pathetic basement dweller. Facial experssions of DFV always hopeless and dumfounded, lighting is dark and basement like. There is alot not to like. Could Dumb Money get Eyes on GME, sure... but as much as I'd like things to work out for everyone, I'm concerned with SHF's use of it. I've got a feeling it exists to enroll a new bunch of investors in the next group of pump & dump stocks. The pumped Sticky-Towel-ElecticVan_Dissentary plays are dead. SHF needs new investors.

I hear your concern. Question regarding this. Is there a place to tell the story, or communicate outside of superstonk? I don't mean physically, but I mean this space right here is related to superstonk. So, side projects etc.. and other efforts are off limits right? I say this because frame works already exist to get the story out. We just need someone to ask. "hey, what is the frame work to get this story out" lol. Or " how do we expand this story, educate people etc.." People expand education and awareness everyday." I'll give you this. If you've never done improv comedy. The answer sure as hell isn't "no, we can't" anyone that says " no we can't expand", needs to be out of the conversation of expanding. They are the wrong ones to include. "yes, and" is the only way to go.

Or even just a fun thought. I'd like to leave you with this. Ask all the people you know involved in the saga what their professions are. Then ask," do you have anyone here who has worked in sales, marketing, or account management?" Ask "has anyone ever worked in an influecing role (not youtube) or territory expansion & management? If not. Do you think this is a problem? Do you think this is a solution? Think about this: In any organization no matter what role, sales always gets paid the highest. Why? It must be a desirable skill. I don't know who any of you are, maybe are real wrinkle brains. Wrinke brains are great at wrinkle brain stuff, but should wrinkle brains be leading the expansion of knowelge (the sales & marketing) of the gme saga? ---- This of this like you're solving a business problem. Like, you've got a decentalized finance company with tones of analysts, but your presence isn't growing... why? I recommend not answering right away. But see the probelm, then the obvious solution

With a Stand Alone Complex growth is a given. Other large centralized entities may be able to slow it down but that's about it. Basically everyone's reaction to the BS is roughly the same but diverse enough to actually mimic a large centralized organization despite being decentralized in nature. In other words their fears are already realized and I do think that's why you see so many shills in each unique community trying to sow division and hate.

Nice. Well there are absolutely ways to accelerate growth, of pretty much anything. What i'd think would be very interesting, is a causal conversation with folks that have experience in this very arena. heck, without even going into the nitty gritty, but just how to expand a conversation. Thats it. Nothing more. If this conversation happens, in my mind, there is a chance for significant growth.

Y'all did it without even speaking to the users. That was a major fuckup and is completely understandable and avoidable if it had been brought to the users.

@guantanamo_babies_say_heyy Ultimately, it go like this. get a word out does anyone want to have a conversation about growth that we haven't talked about specifically coming from people with expeirnce in the work force? If yes. Get a few together. From there, once their is interest... then simply shoot the shit about all things sales & marketing. But this conversation will not be the same as what you're used to hearing.

the real thing that accelerated this growth was the prospect of financial gain. Plenty of folk want to see fairness in markets, but until there was an event like moass to rally at there was nothing pulling in large numbers of people

I'd say that's true as well.

So gamestop becoming financially successful, I would imagine, is going to be another factor like that. Because again, them getting consistently profitable brings in more eyes

Another sneeze level catalyst would do wonders as well.

@TiberiusWoodwind The first step is get people with experince to have this discussion. I don't know how to teach music. You do. You wouldn't want someone without expereince teaching music to try. I know writers that attempt to make their own book covers, they come out alright, but not great. Now lets be honest, we've got wrinle brains, maybe a bunch of nerds lol. That want to discuss how to expand and grow. It's usually the "jocks, and pimps" that know how to do with lol. There are systems to expansion.

I agree with this to lol

sneeze level is considerably tougher at this point with larger float and higher price. options drove the momentum going into the sneeze and right now its pretty nonexistent compared to late 2020. but its a tough call. Couple good earnings could bring in inst level longs to buy up a good chunk of the float. that activitiy interests momentum traders, wsb cant help but degen in. So its not and impossibility but there was a really low barrier to entry in 2020 and a lot of momentum. I can see some signs in velocity trends that momentum is starting to move up again but its a slow grind

There is a lot to discuss. But ultimarly, ya just need some wrinkle brains that have any normal experince in sales, accountmangement, marketing etc... One thing thats for sure, each discipline is way fucking different.

Sounds like another team could be formed from within the community that can manage smaller teams of these specialized people.

@LastResortFriend I'd say 100%, everything can always stay decentralized and never actually speaking of the stock to do this. But the first step is to have some people that are either eager to learn, good with people, or have had sales and marketing epxiernce. If anyone in this group had difficulty getting laid, they shouldn't be included.

I do see good opportunity to attract a lot of people who are crypto/defi/web3 interested eventually and that can expand the community since there's already roots there in wanting to bring about change to the financial system. but the barrier at the moment is crypto's own bear market. GSMP can't really do much since web3 game companies aren't releasing games and what is there is ok but we haven't hit a big game yet. Web3 game companies do not want to release games in a bear market because their in game assets will like fluctuate in value with the broader crypto market. So if there's still room to go down there, they want to wait til that bottom confirmation is in. If the assets track with the market, theres incentive from players to dump them immediately in order to recoup value. but if the market is trending up and assets trend with it then players are more likely to hodl since the asset is gaining value. And devs want to see these assets held and going up because that attracts more players too. It's why I liken gme to the gas station before the car was invented. Yeah, itll be a big deal, but theres nothing to use it for yet.

Thats the real end goal for broad adoption. They can still interact with the marketplace but it makes it easier on gamers than having a separate wallet. I feel like the gamestop wallet was just a training system to get us used to how web3 games work. It was rough and buggy and never left beta but for them they just needed something that would cover the gap til IMX had a good native wallet in the game

Yes, of course you can. But if you have critical feedback, I'd love it if you shared it here so we could actually address it. You can bring it to the sub, but the outcome is the same, we'll want to find a way forward to address it.

8:27 AM

However, the point is transparency, and if there's something you don't agree with and want to present it to the sub, that's in bounds

8:28 AM

I just hope you'll give us a chance to work on it constructively.

8:28 AM

That fair?

Sure, I think that's fair.

Rough_Willow

Sure, I think that's fair.

You guys are not the mod PR team.

8:32 AM

We're here to work together to make this place better. There will be friction as a result.

8:32 AM

Friction, as long as it's constructive in intent, can be good.

I've left a comment. I hope it's well received.

8:43 AM

Good feedback RW and I appreciate your perspective

8:43 AM

I think one point which I'll make here but not on the sub is that there's parallel conversations going on. We have this discord, and then the mod one, which is far busier (believe it or not)

8:44 AM

Unless we completely combine the two, you'll probably never know how much internal communication there is... but... to your credit, we do take independent actions sometimes and that can look like a miscommunication

8:45 AM

If one person approves something right as a parallel discussion is being had to remove it for instance

Independent acts can look like disorganization when the rest of the mod team isn't clued in. Especially on polarized topics.

I wish Reddit had like a two key system

8:47 AM

Unfortunately, every step towards that is also sort of a step towards authorianism. The only way it could work on the platform is if lower level mods made a recommendation that was executed by a higher level mod

8:47 AM

I'm definitely against that

luma44

Unfortunately, every step towards that is also sort of a step towards authorianism. The only way it could work on the platform is if lower level mods made a recommendation that was executed by a higher level mod

In a perfect world, as long as a quorum was met, action could be taken. It requires that other moderators are not in the dark and that everyone can be kept in the loop.

Sooo

8:52 AM

I think the next step in the conversation is to maybe explain how things happen in the other discord. Because that is happening.

8:53 AM

But it's a larger conversation

10:06 PM

I disagree with their assessment that these are equivalent

the salvatore tweet - nothing to do with gme besides him mentioning RC but its in the context of bbbyq/teddy. the court order - Motion to dismiss was granted in part. ultimately this is just not enough effort on OP's part. take the time to go figure out what granted in part means, then it might be at least worth sharing. still, not at all related to gme. the WSJ story - nothing to do with GME. Also it was based on the SEC looking into a year ago. If you read the article there's nothing updated since the year prior. Probably should have been given misleading title flair at the time because its making it seem as if its a new thing

10:48 PM

I think folks need to start recognizing that if RC has a photo taken of him with a Big Mac that it doesn't mean $MCD is suddenly relavant to GME.

10:51 PM

RC could wear Nike shoes, $NKE is not relavant to GME. RC could buy a Tesla car, $TSLA is not relavant to GME. RC could go watch the Lion King, $DIS is not relavant to GME

10:53 PM

and it makes the place seem dumb and culty when these type of connections get treated as reasonable with so little behind the idea

Everything you've said about RC and what he does outside of GME resonates with me -- it's a GME sub, not an RC one.

11:00 PM

I'm not certain why it's important to remove this particular 21 day post, but I get why the OP is frustrated by it.

I see it too. But I also see the counterpoint. If he were being probed from sexual harassment, would we say, well, that's not relevant... it's not GME related. The ticker involved aside, the fact that your chairman/CEO is being probed by the SEC for anything is relevant to GME, just as it would be relevant if it was not RC but a member of his c-suite. In my personal opinion, the fact that the probe was old but presented as new news was the most misleading part. I do see both sides of this. I wasn't involved in the call, but if this particular post was presented to me I would have erred on the side of approving it.

Hey there! I wanna see your answer to my question. Would another ticker be relevant if RC bought it and was probed by the SEC about his purchase?

Well, I thought I did answer it. Ticker involved aside the probe is newsworthy

6:31 AM

To me, this is not a bbby article. It's an RC one

6:31 AM

The fact that it involves another ticker isn't, to me, the focus.

6:34 AM

Again, it's reinforcing that often our decisions are gray. Nobody is pleased with all of them all the time, but we do err on the side of keeping content up if there appears to be relevance to GME -- the CEO being probed (for anything) is newsworthy.

6:34 AM

That's my read on it, bearing it mind that I'd never engaged with this content before

luma44

Well, I thought I did answer it. Ticker involved aside the probe is newsworthy

How is a probe involving another ticker related to GME? If RC was given a parking ticket, would that be related to GME?

why do people think the email is fake?

7:23 AM

I saw the email yesterday and I'm just getting caught up on all this claiming its fake stuff

Platinumsparkles

why do people think the email is fake?

Why do people think the email is real? Users are demanding evidence and trying to hold content to a higher standard. That's a good thing.

the things that are in it are factual, and RC doesnt seem like he cares too much about PR and making things flowery

7:26 AM

the person who posted it is getting called out for "not posting here" but even that's not true

7:26 AM

they tried but didnt have enough karma

Platinumsparkles

I don’t see the email as being fake, but that is a possibility. I also don’t see the big deal about it either? The subject line is ‘Survival’ but he goes on to define what survival means, which appears to be the current state of affairs with GameStop anyways

Platinumsparkles

the things that are in it are factual, and RC doesnt seem like he cares too much about PR and making things flowery

Personally, I'm inclined to believe the email is real even though the style of writing seems odd- (as in if I were to impersonate RC I would write like that kind of way) because the price dropped and short volume increased > 600% yesterday. Either the market didn't like RC as a CEO, or the market didn't like the contents of the email- Which is effectively a war cry that the market might view bearishly on.

imo the market doesnt like his lack of forward guidance

It’s like a news headline like: “The End of the World is Coming” People only read the headlines, but the actual article talks about our solar system 100 million years from now, etc. There’s nothing in the email that seemed bad from my POV

nothing in the email was really news

3

Yeah it's not, and us apes would see this as bullish. But I think the institutions probably would not take this information- if true- kindly- and they would verify before making moves- hence my reasoning. But it's still just conjuncture and will probably continue to be

The email reminded me of Kendall Roy’s “Thousand Lifeboats” speech in Succession. It may be factual, but it did not inspire confidence. It stressed me out reading it.

The other, darker side, of me says they deserve it, we have been screaming that this is going to happen for months now. Ignoring all facts and living in tin foil alone does not make for a good story. We have gone to great lengths to show them the warning signs only to get called compromised and shills. (edited)

Just like GME, bring on the counter DD. We would explore it and try to prove/disprove it. So far there has been no counter argument for GME

9:40 AM

AMC is going down the same path as BBBY. Once again, so many people are going to lose everything because they chose to ignore the fact before their eyes and listened to the snake AA.

9:41 AM

Just think how much closer we would be done with this whole saga if all that wasted money in those 2 stocks went into GME.

Ugh, why do I agree with all of the above. The thing is, we have a lot of facts to point to for GME in the DD library. A lot of it is admittedly speculation, but there's a lot of bullish facts we have (0 debt, war chest, etc.)

10:20 AM

Meanwhile, BBBY crowd: (edited)

10:25 AM

"we have been screaming that this is going to happen for months now." This same kind of screaming saved me from AMC, but I was open to listen. The people screaming weren't very nice about it. There's definitely a sense of elitism and frank bluntness on Superstonk, which is really off putting for a lot of people who don't stick around. Towing in the assholeishness while sticking to the facts and laser focus on GME would go a long way, but the nicer/more patient you are the more you open yourself to the bad actors who will take a mile when you give an inch.

Can't win, I agree. I hope a miracle happens for the BBB guys. I bought 3 shares with literally spare change in support, but I think they will fade to black come Monday.

Someone needs to tell RingingBells that if they can't take criticism without insulting people and blowing up like a child they shouldn't be posting. Anytime anyone has even the slightest criticism of their posts or them, they absolutely lose their shit (edited)

I have 100 shares, basically a zero investment, I closed the rest of my positions in it for just enough profit to cover the cost of those shares, so I can't lose on it anymore, if it is dead, I broke even.

Always good to plan all scenarios, never know what will come our way (edited)

idk about this going to millions like many say, but I have some aside for the long ride.

I have my own exit strategy, involving only broker shares, I bought extra just for that purpose. I'm around 85% DRS and plan to keep all the DRS shares for the infinity pool. I don't know if we will really hit millions or not, but part of my strategy is to hold some broker shares for that level. The one thing I can say for sure is that if we do set stock price records, there will be no "way down" to sell into, and if there is, someone is trying to trick us into thinking it's over before all the shorts are closed. The only buyers at those levels are shorts being forced to close, and if they stop buying, the price will drop off a cliff immediately. Also, anyone using a market sell order during MOASS will get absolutely screwed.

I have multiple computers prepared, multiple ISP sources, and a backup/relocation plan to go where I can get online and do whatever it is I am going to do. Although they say it won't be fast, I have my plans and will execute accordingly. I'm with you though, I have infinity shares as well...

you know the irony here? I was originally against the SCC because of the possibility of bringing on someone actually compromised.

I explained it in the announcement post. We wanted 30. It's like 2:1 SCC to mod. Not too noisy. We would have had to do a lottery if we got 2000 applicants. But we got 30. It was perfect... also, now there's no possibility of accusing us of cherry picking people or manipulating the process. We called. You answered. Simple.

I expected to get some kind of hedgie offer (or possibly threat/blackmail) to do their bidding when I became a mod at the jungle, but nothing like that happened at all. I have no idea why.. maybe they work to get existing agents into positions instead of reaching out and hoping they can corrupt someone, maybe they already had other mods there, or maybe the jungle wasn't important enough for them to bother, or some other reason.

next month I'll be here for 2 years and I've never been offered anything.. but I guess thats a trust me bro

9:54 AM

oh wait its October, this month

They'll put their own people in, not make offers. A screenshot of an offer would be too risky. It's why I get very frustrated every time someone does the "let's remove all mods and vote in new ones!" thing

It’s a loose end for them. They won’t ask anyone ever because it’s proof. What they will do is start up upvoting the fuck out of whatever posts help them because there’s no evidence there

question about this youtube vid thats being posted nonstop

10:22 AM

should we allow one post of it then remove the rest?

I haven't watched it myself, but others have said it's meltdowner material. I'm sure from last night that hacked Reddit accounts are being used to push/promote it as well. I don't think we should give that a platform

i just watched the whole thing

10:24 AM

long af

10:24 AM

i dont see a problem with keeping one up tbh

10:26 AM

I dont agree with everything said but that doesnt matter, its gme related for sure

10:28 AM

I guess we have the "no subreddits. usernames, etc can be shown" rule so it would break that rule... but thats the only rule it breaks

Interested in what others think too - I still think I'm a hard no for keeping a post, just because of the meta going on around it. If it contains subreddit names outside of Superstonk or usernames, I'd be cautious at any rate because Reddit Admins are big dumb and could see us pointing to a YouTube video pointing to those subs/users as some offense in their twisted, myopic worldview

I watched about 40 mins of it. Its quite critical and covers a lot of subjects including the meta of the community and some of the DDs (although he starts off with heat lamp theory, urgh). There is a meltdowny lens that he sees through but there's also clearly a lot of work put into this, some (not all) is pretty fair criticism IMO that's worthy of debate, and might have a strengthening effect of those DDs.

How long is the video overall?

Platinumsparkles

I guess we have the "no subreddits. usernames, etc can be shown" rule so it would break that rule... but thats the only rule it breaks

Yeah, you guys (mods) made it seem that a minefield was before the sub and anything/everything calling out names or other subs would get the SS yoinked.

10:53 AM

I say no

What if- No link but megathread discussion? (Not actually advocating for it) (edited)

admins would have to actually watch it to see it, and it's not directing people to any sub

An effective compromise would be to collect the arguments made in the video and address those directly - that's at least a degree of separation

If you need to make a video 2.5 hours long explaining why this whole play is bad...

I think it's worthwhile to bring up that I am fairly certain hacked Reddit accounts were being used last night to push and promote the movie. I have an example of this I can provide - a Redditor with 0 history of posting in the GME sphere of subs posting how the movie was "essential watching for everyone" I'm not sure if I'm the only one who sees this as a red flag, but to clarify my perspective: someone paying for hacked Reddit accounts to push a narrative is pretty sus itself

Well, so its pretty much meltdown material presented in a adult manner, but with a constant "look at these idiots" vibe. Even the comments below the video are pretty harsh. Very different attitudes. One side is to break an evil system, the other side is "look at these morons and their cult".

although I wouldnt say hacked

11:22 AM

they're commenting in other subs normally so idk

They might not know they've been hacked and someone else could have stolen their login/browser session (edited)

who knows.. this is the recent history

Honestly I couldn't get through the whole thing. There's subtle digs and the way it's presented, to untrained ears it seems like they're just "asking questions", but it's disingenuous in its nature. The fact that it's being spammed by accounts with no history within the GME community, is sketchy at best. Either this is a new method of invading the sub ( much like how the discord gets invaded by new/ hibernated accounts) , or it's just a bunch of people trying their best to overload Mods and push their agenda

I concede that this being a hacked account is speculation. I lurked through their profile posts/comments going back 3 years and see nothing within the GME-sphere. All around their province/city/3D printing/Warhammer

As far as "which rule does it break?", it could be put under Rule 8, considering when one post is deleted, another takes its place

could be.. but if we left one post and removed the rest then we wouldnt be "supressing outside ideas" basically like the video is accusing us of doing.. and maybe someone may want to counter it.. or it just dies in new

They're attempting a "gotcha!", by utilizing a loophole of logic. When someone puts you in a corner with no way out, then villifies your only option. They KNOW that what their doing is wrong but spending time producing a scenario where they portray themselves as a victim.. They've manufactured a situation where nobody wins. It's disingenuous and an attempt that been gaining traction lately: Form a loophole of irrational arguments, position yourself as just this impartial curious person, lay out any suppression of their ideas is proof of their point, then play victim when they ultimately bend the rules to the point where Mods have to act.

11:29 AM

Honestly, it's like paying or refusing to pay terrorists. Do you either give in, allowing the terror to continue, when others know they'll get paid, or do you attempt to just bite the bullet this one time, making an example of them

11:31 AM

In the years since this play started, not one person has been able to legitimately break down why it is wrong....if it was a well thought out post, where they laid out data and facts provided with evidence...then sure. But this is a mass spammed video, coinciding with Bbby nonsense

I’ve had only a brief viewing of the vid since I’m busy with house stuff today but here’s my quick points 1) he uses hyperbole a lot. Picking out some of the most extreme examples and saying it’s what most believe/did. He also on a few occasions just did not cite why an idea is wrong, he just said it is. 2) this is clearly just trying to ride the Dumb Money wave and trying to get in front of people wanting to know more. Lot of time went into making this and if the comments sound like incoherent yelling it makes apes look like the dumbasses he’s trying to say they are. 3) this should be a wake up call that we can’t afford Superstonk to become a haven for poorly written posts. He had all sorts of opportunity to pull extreme examples because the sub is full of them. I hate to say it, but the ability to make a hit piece like this was served to him on a silver platter because no one is telling the tinfoil folks that their crazy fucking ideas aren’t helpful. 4) now everyone who finds Superstonk through this guys vid is going to show up wondering how crazy apes are so it’s prime time for bad actors to load the sub up with inaccurate statements or more poor writing. Do whatever with the vid because it’s got 500k views so the cats out of the bag. Removing it because it’s critical of the sub doesn’t look good. A useful action at this point would be to go over the vid in extreme detail and pick out anything he got wrong and clearly explaining things he got wrong and backing them with citations. And good luck getting that done before every angry rabbler starts making their angry posts about it.

Why waste the energy countering this guy and the hit piece? It’s like trying to win over a meltdowner

It's not for them. It's for us and the sub

This is a no win on this video.

It really does pain me to say it, but this is the punishment for letting low effort posts flood the place. Every screen cap of a graph and a circle that got to stay up as TA, every speculation post with insane numbers no one ever fact checked, every data post with bad analysis. @SPCΞMΞmbΞr593 I feel like a win from this vid is pointing to it and telling the sub that this is why we need the SCC and this is why heavy moderation matters and this is why low effort hype is harmful.

Well right now we have ringingbells who makes posts often that have no body to them and make no effort to fully articulate his ideas. Has anyone addressed that? There doesn’t seem to be any rule now involving News or Data posts where OP has to explain from their perspective what they are seeing or why is matters. Speculation can involve zero evidence. When it would be reasonable to say “facts X, Y, and Z are true so I think N might be feasible”. Still speculative but OP is providing how they’ve reached the point where are taking a guess.

12:08 PM

Enact new standards for what is considered proper discourse. We need to work on what standards those will be and how we will maintain those standards without outright banning or suppressing accurate criticism.

Make a new sub called SuperStonkDD, restrict membership. DD writers submit to mod team for review. Those approved get posted to restricted sub (or read only sub with locked posts). All discussion happens in subsequent Mod approved posts (in SS) on said DD. Anything outside of it gets pulled. (edited)

No, not 'you', but the royal 'who'

None of us are.

2:22 PM

So I'd hate to be in that position, me personally, of putting everything into the false category until I say it's true.

2:22 PM

It's already hard enough to siphon out the demonstrably false.

Maybe take away the DD flair and just make it simply 'possible DD' for everything.

Sidestepping the suggestion to present an alternative

Or to really piss everyone off,... 'Purported DD'

SCC DD reviewers

Yes, blame us

What if we had 100 DD authors doing exactly this

I love it

No, no blame.

I mean 'refer all criticism to us'

If we grow this thing, I want there to be people who focus on memes and DD and economics

2:24 PM

Because it's overwhelming to be a generalist about everything

I'm not going to be good at DD review. I barely read all the words to begin with.

But I get the problem you're identifying. False information has been a problem on reddit since time immemorial.

2:25 PM

Superstonk is no different

So if things turn out to be false or misleading at first, is it not better to let the hive mind work it out and debunk it?

2:26 PM

Or the coordination on the other side is too strong to stop the runaway train?

In the early days of SS, there was a lot more going on (posting count) and it seemed like a lot of good cream rose to the top.

So if things turn out to be false or misleading at first, is it not better to let the hive mind work it out and debunk it?

There's probably lots of opinions here but I still believe in the power of peer review

2:32 PM

I like to think the truth always wins in the end, regardless of how many are selling the lie

That fucking heat lamp! Me so maaad

Hot take: gonna defend the heat lamp for a second.

2:33 PM

On the continuum of crazy theories we've had as a community, it's middle of the road.

Oh boy

We have itchy anus guy

2:33 PM

I'm half joking

The yt guy picked the right "DD" to pick on.

Not all the DD is correct

2:35 PM

But the vast majority of the stuff out there has been supported by events and evidence

That's what I am saying.

With heath lamp, I think people just forgot the peer review part.

I think heat lamp could have been molded into something better with feedback from the sub.

Possibly

2:36 PM

I don't know what of it remains that hasn't been debunked.

2:36 PM

Debunked DD is still valuable

They circumvent peer-review with 3rd party posters. How can I ask questions if the author is hiding?

But the author 1) didn't post it in order to be peer reviewed. 2) when people questioned it, we got reports that the author blocked them.

I even went to the nuked sub to have a convo

Sure, it's possible

Just keep an open mind. It may all be bullshit, but if it’s not, it could be…

1:57 PM

So, what conclusions are being drawn for that? I'd like to see an example of last quarterly letter too tbh, is the point just that DRS is mentioned?

It just seems informational but I can see how it's relevant if the language had recently changed to include this. I think all you can really draw from this image alone (without more context anyways) is that they're letting investors know DRS is a thing, which yeah is pretty cool

Timing. I think its the timing of this all. Sure, I don't have any letters prior to that one, and I agree... is this new or a standard bit of verbiage they have in every letter... You can't buy or sell this stock right now so it is major tinfoil and no harm per se to at least look at the tea leaves. They are showing some interesting things at a very interesting time.

2:22 PM

I might have less than $20 bucks in shares here, just keeping an eye on it. I find it better to think about this tinfoil rather than the r/UFOs foil these days.

Going to see Dumb Money. Wish me luck.

I just saw it last weekend. I liked it. Had its flaws but overall I thought it was decent.

6:32 PM

I actually busted out some "OOK OOK"'s during key moments. Couldn't help myself

6:32 PM

And some "Boo"'s when deserved (edited)

Well I'm back. My wife and I had a semi-private showing as we were 2 of 4 people in the theater.

8:08 PM

Overall I'd say it was ok. Didn't make you feel it was still going on though.

8:08 PM

The hamburger was ok. Fries were good, and the Revolver Blood & Honey was outstanding.

8:09 PM

100 seats, only 4 in the theater. Not a bull run.

Seeing what went on with that post and the top comments being Kenny's dream come true on dividing retail money led me to a prediction for BBBYQ, which is that something unexpected will happen, but it will "unexpectedly" still wipe out shareholders. This will be to allow the operation to continue and give it "legitimacy" because it was "so close" to being accurate about BBBY. Another option is that they are going to disappear and getting their sub nuked is an intentional part of that plan.

They already are wiped out. How do you wipe out further than the stock no longer trading? And the only reason it wasn’t expected was because everyone who told them to expect that was called a shill. Hell even the sub nuke thing is expected

I just asked them to leave the mod group so I get #1 spot… I’ll do the same if this is to be passed on to be used as described…

Time did tell. Stock got delisted. I've requested evidence showing RC and Icahn will save bbby...I have yet to receive any. I dont like to see retail lose $, but I also don't like how those investors have handled themselves & aligned themselves with bad actors

12:32 PM

I'm open minded, but im also not unintelligent

I haven't finished this most recent Houston video, and I'll give it a full watch, but so far it doesn't seem like much.

Also if I'm being entirely honest, if you want to push bbby stuff this isn't the place for it.

Bud, bbbyq holders could own 4000% of the shares outstanding. 10k%. How ever many, it doesn’t matter. Because together shareholders and execs failed at the absolutely imperative aspect of running a profitable business. Profitability is not an option, it’s not something that can be ignored because of any other factor. Because if you are unable to keep the doors open, you will lose. RC tried to come in and help them become profitable. They didn’t want it. And now he pens a letter saying the key to survival is cutting costs and money wasters have no place in the company. He does not care about a squeeze, he cares about a business, and bbbyq currently owns none of its own business. Bbbyq, where was the strong retail interest in drs to prove their ownership. It was no where near as loud as GME’s, and that’s a failure on those investors to organize in a meaningful way that’s seems to be legally acceptable. And on the exec side they never put in their earnings reports the amount DRS despite it being acceptable to do so. Again, execs failing to something shareholders are interested in. But my own theory, bbbyq holders are lazy, because they read a single court doc from DTCC claiming the number of shares was more than should exist. Then instead of verifying that by pushing for drs, they just accepted it, despite it coming from an unreliable source. More failure. And at no point in time does anyone look at these YouTube channels that get ad revenue and accept donations and think “hey maybe they are just saying what I want to hear so I’ll watch the video and they get paid”. I mean after all they kept saying the stock would bounce back up to highs, they said it wouldn’t be delisted, they said it wouldn’t be cancelled, they said RC/Icahn would come in with a last minute save. Hot air. So what’s the next hot tip coming out and why should we ignore these guys track record of being wrong? And lastly on the idea of unity. You didn’t mention it but it deserves a mention. Bbbyq holders called SS mods who said it was being cancelled shills and bullshit artists. Bbbyq holders have shown their DD abilities frequently have zero accuracy. Bbbyq holders wasted enormous amounts of retail money on a poorly researched get rich quick scheme. So just as RC has no tolerance for time/money wasters, what exactly is there to gain by “uniting” with the bbbyq crowd? What value do they actually bring to the table? Or is this a repeat where we say “our view of them has clearly changed and we cut ties”.

Imagine every retail dollar wasted on that type of laziness.

Oh I care. I have a lot riding in GME and less than 20 shares of this other story.

SPCΞMΞmbΞr593

Tib made a lot of good points and went into detail - tbh this came across as super disingenuous/bad faith to me. This is precisely the kind of crap response I'd expect/have gotten constantly from everyone talking BBBYQ - we provide a laundry list of common sense arguments and the only retort is frankly, lazy and brainless.

SPCΞMΞmbΞr593

Oh I care. I have a lot riding in GME and less than 20 shares of this other story.

Clearly not. Because it’s not an insignificant amount of money people lost.

That was their choice of course. I had nothing to do with it. Nor did I make a peep about this prior to it being delisted. Don’t watch, that’s fine. And I won’t mention this here again. Good luck.

Nothing to do with it but you want to keep suggesting their delusions are real. Keep enabling those who will take more from them. I personally don’t see this as funny or amusing. This is real people’s money and while folks here in this server might have better eyes for spotting falsehoods, many people are not as apt. A purpose we serve towards SS is not letting liars and con artists take advantage of people.

Hey all, I just got caught up on reading this discussion. What I liked was that it was respectful. What I observed is that there may be some raw nerves here. If I may interject for a moment... this is important. It's not us vs them if you're buying a stock. That's how people who are short any of the tickers want us to act. They want us to eat each other so they can pick our bones. That cannot happen. Not in our sub. Not on the mod team. Not here. We've been automodding butterflies and bbbyq. Not because we hate the trade or the ticket or its community. It's because we are only supporting GME. That's the entire superstonk mission. Now, do some people feel that bbbyq is a bad play? Yes. Some mods do too. Do some think it's a good play? Yes. There are grifters and players and winners and losers on every side of the story. What we can do is speak respectfully, remembering that in the grand scheme this is about retail vs the cheaters. Some plays aren't going to win against the cheaters. But just as there's no wrong way to hold, there's no wrong play. There are unprofitable ones. But there are no wrong ones. We need to respect each other and remember that we're all on the same side. We are all individual investors, and we need to focus on the areas where our venn diagrams overlap... not our differences. So, if you bring non GME stuff here, remember the person you're talking to has the right to be a full person with their own perspectives and deserves respect as being a member on the side of retail.

So @everyone, let's talk war. I wish this wasn't our first foray into war since this saga began, but we dealt with this when Ukraine was invaded. We don't know how long or how serious this could end up being. We know that it will continue to evolve, and there will be a metric crapton of news and misinformation and propaganda and crises. This could be world war 3. This could be a one week thing that turns back into a tense stalemate. Either way, the war in Israel isn't GME. It's going to come up time and again. There will be posts and comments. There will be reports. As long as this is escalating, it will be bleeding into our sub. Here's our position as a mod team, calibrated through discussion and guided by prior principles. War news - not on our sub. It's not GME. It's not our mission. There are news subs and news sources all over the internet. There's plenty of nooks and crannies on reddit for people to talk the politics and news of this war. But not superstonk. Now, this being said, there will be a narrow (and I do mean narrow) lane for macroeconomic content relating to the effect of war on the global economy and specifically gme. But the case has to be made that whatever reference to the war ties explicitly back to macroeconomic threads and GME. If that case is not made, we will be removing the content. Why? Because this is highly political, potentially rife with propaganda and misinformation, and clearly not our focus relating to GME. It has the potential to drown out important market-related issues and objectives (like comment letter drives and rule changes) and can turn our sub into a big propaganda machine (we saw that with Ukraine/Russia) (edited)

I'm not sure that we have any at the ready, but our discord is a one way trap - everything discussed about Ukraine is still there for the finding if we need to find parallels

I agree. I see the attachment of Wen Moon? Or MOASS Catalyst? to any armed conflict / loss of human life as extremely distasteful.

Ugh lmao I don't want to touch this with a 100 foot poll. I just read through all of the comments, a few sane people but nothing worthwhile and just a lot of people playing dumb. imo should be nuked (maybe we should make a thread for this tho)

@luma44 Pardon my ignorance but do you guys have any Radmin receipts about staying "on topic" or similar? I'm having a hard time understanding where and why that line is drawn the way it is. I've been a little spread thin so I haven't been able to do my normal research dive on it yet.

I don't think that it would be accurate to say that there is any pressure from Radmins to stay "on GME"

It would be accurate to say that we are required to stay "on our sub"

If the Radmins have only ever cared about brigading then "keeping it in the sub" shows just as much due diligence and effort on your part to keep things civil as "keeping it on topic" in case of any adverse events right? But "keeping it on topic" is getting you guys a lot of crap for suppression and all the stuff you're no doubt aware of for the same exact benefit. Just saying it seems to me that "keeping it in the sub" has the same pros but not nearly the cons. Sorry if I'm a bit repetitive or something, coffee still kicking in.

So, yes and no... We keep it on GME because that's the mission of the sub

If we wanted it to be easy, we'd never remove anything.

It's been a rule since inception - GME only

I totally get that it's a grey area since we're talking GME-peripherals here, but I don't think the nature of the sub would need to be discussed, we already have plenty of market-peripherals for example that aren't linked to GME as a business or the stock itself directly.

Well, let's be more specific. Teddy/BBBYQ/

Neither have I. Ive done my hardest to try and get SOMEONE to show me the correlation....there I none besides "Well....RC = bbby and RC = GME. So therefore bbby= gme" It's so annoying. I get it...you folks lost a lot of money. It sucks. But stop acting like this facade is legitimate.

Remember what I said like 24 hours ago - there's no wrong way to hold or one wrong play. I know tensions are high - but I want everybody to win

Speaking for the other side here: I went from wsb to GME to Superstonk. My main position is GME, but I have popcorn, towel, bb, and a bunch of other stocks. The bbby group is filled with GME holders. People talk all the time about using bbby to fund GME. Everyone on superstonk is zen, but with things the way they are over at bbby it’s entertaining. Whether or not you think the stock is cancelled, the sub is like a young (albeit not as good) version of superstonk. I don’t think there’s anything nefarious going on. It’s actually ironic that they are constantly complaining about brigading just like we are, when the communities overlap. There had to be a way to make it work. Maybe reach out to their mod team? Re the question at hand: we said posts need to relate to GME. Like it or not, since GameStop posted a blue butterfly that is now related to GME. Ignore it and it will fade. Bbbq will either die or not by the end of the year. However, making a big deal out of a bunch of butterflies doesn’t really make sense to me.

It's a fair take. There's all different kinds of HODLrs on our sub. Like me for example, I bought into amc first cause gme was "too expensive" (FML) and then went full steam into GME. I bought into BBBY when rc did, made an epic aftermarket sale win when news dropped he sold and then scared myself into buying back in premarket when the tin foil on our own sub convinced me something bigger was brewing. It's my fault but that turned a 5 figure win into a 4k loss. That could have been gme money lol. I say this to give you some personal context. That said since bbby is dead there's less to worry about now. Like I don't worry about bad actors or just idiots frankly derailing gme or convincing others to waste their ammo on a losing play. Today tho, what we have is a frankly toxic community. I'm also biased because most of them hate our mod team with a passion. I don't think there's much to salvage between the communities at this point. Users can engage in cross traffic all they want but the organizers of ppshow absolutely have bad intentions. They fucked a lot of people over, are grifting donations and wouldn't pee on our team if we were on fire.

Hey Doom, glad to see you around! I Understand your POV regarding there not being much to salvage between communities, esp with the given community, but I think it's always worth trying to salvage things as the animosity between mod teams is never as bad as the communities opinions. You would be surprised at the magic that can happen when you find someone who is able to help put the personal BS to the side and allow different parties to really hash out their differences. If we can all manage to do that we can understand where our own arguments fall flat and find out what specific information we would need to convince others with differing opinions. I get how dealing with extremists all day can be corrosive to the very soul however, we don't know each other personally but by all means please reach out if you ever need to talk or vent about any of it!

On your points of amc/bbby, how has indulging in the hype or tinfoil ended up being good for people? Whether it’s a gold mine, or an emoji, or an influencer who ignores all contradictory points what do people end up with? In a months time when that fad ends they get the next promise. Entertaining these ridiculous narratives on the sub is no better than ppseeds just writing content people want to hear even if it means ignoring all evidence that says it’s bullshit.

I appreciate that, I really do. I'm definitely jaded tho. I used to be the guy on the team who would reach out with olive branch in tough situations. Even acknowledging my bias I would say this particular situation is one of the worst I have seen when it comes to lack of good faith.

I appreciate that, I really do. I'm definitely jaded tho. I used to be the guy on the team who would reach out with olive branch in tough situations. Even acknowledging my bias I would say this particular situation is one of the worst I have seen when it comes to lack of good faith.

I can DM you screenshots of the DRS guys and the steward team they have for their server defending you guys. I would know because I am one of them, and Fluffy would also be able to tell you it's not the team itself running with that narrative from the times he's stepped in for a word. Sure they question and disagree with a lot and say so as well, but they don't subscribe to any compromised theories. For that community specifically there's a lot of benefits to be gathered for both sides with reconciliation. As for other communities, It's tougher for me to speak because I lack history with most other groups, if I ever had any real contact at all.

Lol we would be so hypocritical to do that. We have read so far into so much gme stuff in the past and honestly will probably always do that as a community.

I personally don't see it as a pass, but I do think it's an important look into what decisions are being made for the community and why. So much media narrative spin hinges on the truth being difficult to explain at length, while the spin can be wrapped into soundbites and single phrases. "Mods are suppressing the community" is an easy hot take that can be whipped together using any number of dumb divisive things like this. I thought the post was really well done in just stepping back from the noise for a minute, and even serves as a great example of what sort of ways division can be manufactured in a community.

Totally understand and respect that. I think your feelings are going to be with the majority as well, but I personally appreciated the step back and look into the actual decision making process that was used for this. I think the more transparency that can be provided with things that appear to be gatekept, the more people can realize there aren't even gates. There are different places that are appropriate for different conversations.

What are peoples thoughts about doing what the sub did with HLT and letting a Bobby give their butterfly nonsense a post. They are crying that they all got banned so all they can do is be cryptic asshats. At this point I’d rather have their tinfoil open to our peer review process. Otherwise they are just going to keep crying victim.

It'll play out exactly like Heat Lamp, they'll send not the original poster to present it, dodge all questions so peer review is impossible, and cryptically tell people to look elsewhere. There is a siege going on trying to bleed users to their own monetized worlds. Ironically, usually step 2 in forming one of those sects that the media means when they say cult. I am not a sub mod, I drink paint, and only a fool would trust my word for anything.

Here's my issue with that. SO much of the BBQ is 100% speculation. At least with HLT, it was somewhat based on hard data. Our issue with HLT was that 6days didn't post, didn't defend it, and blocked people who pointed out the flaws

9:11 AM

Now I'm not a hypocrite, so much of Superstonk's DD is speculation based, but MOST of our DD authors would learn, revise and resubmit with new data points

I agree. But what gave HLT power was the narrative that it was being suppressed. When the sub offered the OP to post here and they refused that set up red flags. It also took time for the energy to dissipate. The Bobby stuff is hot garbage, but at this point no one can buy it. What I don’t want is a consensus crack. I get what you are saying though.

It's not even that. 6days told both Goldie and I that he would post it on Superstonk, so we kept removing all the HLT posts that weren't posted by him (which led to the supression narrative)

Yes. Or ads on their own forums/non-Reddit site. How much you can make is going to be directly proportional to how many users you can get over to your platform. Superchats on youtube, donations and ads on websites, patreon in other places. This is something like Pickle 4.0?

No. No SS history and this kind of action is clearly not cool.

I see, so using SS as a place to even get a small % of eyes has monetization all over it. That makes sense here to prevent. Shit, everything has to come down to that doesn't it.

There's ALOT of monetization.

@Rough_Willow .... I'm looking for your input.

I've been working on trying to figure out if any of them can post DD that's well sourced. I think they'll tire themselves out, but who knows just how much steam the grifter's stream will get.

I don’t think banning people will go over well, nor do I think letting this noise remain is a good idea. I’m for the idea of banning those who brigade, but this is going to get nuanced real quick if we end up going down that path

At this point I say wait the whole butterfly thing out. I'm of the tinfoil loving type and can go to their sub to get my fill. You guys will just have to face the music of the 'told ya so' if the foil was right if you blocked it here. Your call. You are all sus anyway so might as well lean in.

100% this. @Lyrad (Crybad) it would need to be a case-by-case basis, but imo if they're actively posting on that ppsub and bbby(q), and their history is negative....then why have them? Some of these people are no better than the meltdown crew. They're angry their investment went south, they fucked up, and they made their bed. It isn't SStonks fault. It's theirs. If they want to lash out and break rules, then that's on them. They were adult enough to invest, they're adult enough to either control their emotions or deal with the consequences

In this case, the importance is eyes that could fall prey to a grifter. These influencer groups don't seem to survive without new blood and that's what they're looking for here.

Agree 100%. I mentioned this in another thread but this feels like them trying to find a safe landing zone for their platform once BBBY is officially 100000345982374983732984% gone.

Only until the bankruptcy case is over, there's really been nothing at all to even plant the idea it will take years besides the thought that other cases took that long, which this one is moving at the speed of light. It'll be over soon ™️ though.

Can I get a copy of your list number 1?

I would just like to remind everyone that not everyone that posts in some of the other subs like theppshow are here as brigaders, many have been here all along and are just hyped up. Many know nothing about all the brigading going on when they post their butterflies or other BBBYQ related stuff, remember that they don't have the view that we do of what's going on in the sub. That's not to say that some aren't here with bad intentions - it's obvious that some are. Hitting those not doing it on purpose isn't a good thing for the community and does fuel the "mods are sus" fire, especially if it's more than just a removal of content that they get hit with.

Oh 100%. I've been using mod tools to make sure any actions taken shouldn't be innocents catching strays. Not everyone is being malicious.

When do the mods get t-shirts with "sus" on them. I think that will be required wearing if ever there is some sort of in person event someday.

Absolutely. I know at least a dozen people that hold mostly GME but also are invested/interested in BBBY for a long time. Nothing wrong with that at all. I had shares at one point a year or so ago as well. (edited)

I love it. You tell people it was open to all volunteers and they still think it’s some oppressive regime. Like fuck man, sorry people don’t often care about local govt. anyone with strong feelings about content on the sub could’ve just said “I’m in”. Where were they then?

I wasn't sure what to expect, it seemed like it could have all been rigged when the SCC concept was initially laid out, one of the reasons I volunteered was to see if I would get accepted - if they accept me for it then it must not actually be rigged

I have a question. Ever make a comment that gets drug to the bottom of a thread independent of it being downvoted or a good conversation back & forth that gets collapsed or a comment that gets put into a queue to seemingly respond to something you didn’t intend? During periods of my participation here sometimes it feels like there is an invisible hand moving shit around and sometimes with seemingly negative intent. Over a year ago when I was more isolated and admittedly more paranoid I did have a “this place is sus” feeling. In my ignorance I attached these observations to mods. I think much of the mods r sus is bad actors trying to make this place inhospitable and burn out the people working hardest, but some of it may be the frustrated and paranoid. (edited)

Want you to have awareness

Urgent: Request for Civil and Respectful Discourse Dear r/ThePPShow The Superstonk team hopes this email finds you well. It has come to our attention that some discussions on your sub have taken an aggressive turn, leading to vicious personal attacks on a member of our team. No doubt you have awareness of these personal attacks. While we as a community do not agree that BBBYQ is a viable investment, and that may put some of us at odds - we understand that there is shared DNA between our communities with many people holding GME as part of their portfolio. The Superstonk Mod team firmly believes that such internet bullying behavior, which undermines the very essence of this community, is not conducive to our shared objectives. It doesn’t advance your community’s understanding of BBBYQ, and personal attacks certainly don’t refute any counter DD presented about your investment. You’ll note that we are not permitting comments calling you “grifters” of your community and even providing supporting evidence. Why? Because we are staying in our GME lane, and personal attacks do nothing to advance understanding of our respective investments. While we acknowledge the importance of freedom of expression and open discourse, we must also ensure that these discussions adhere to a code of conduct that respects the rights and dignity of every participant. It is our belief that much of the content in this post: https://reddit.com/r/ThePPShow/s/dCyYHHQZxw violates Reddit’s Moderator Code of Conduct, and we would encourage you to take action to protect your sub from Reddit’s discipline. It is our collective responsibility as community members to maintain this standard. The Superstonk Mod team kindly requests that you, as a fellow participating team, actively participate in the moderation of discussions on your sub about Superstonk, it’s community, and its mod team. By doing so, we can collectively set a standard of professionalism, encourage constructive debate, and deter any future instances of inappropriate behavior. Your collaboration in this endeavor will send a strong message that we stand united in our commitment to maintaining a respectful and inclusive environment, despite the fact that our investments and investment strategies are not necessarily in total alignment. We choose to believe in your team's commitment to professionalism and positive engagement, and we are confident that we can work together to rectify this situation. Let us strive to maintain the high standards that we have set for our community. Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your immediate attention to this issue.

If you don't moderate.

That response is clearly in bad faith to me. I agree this needs to settle down for a little while, but when it does would be the perfect opportunity to make some changes to deal with situations such as these in the future. Even if it's just an action plan/framework to document so we can present our case clearly would help (vs. a heavier moderation hand, etc.) but I think something needs to change (edited)

See this is the issue, Plat went and made very clear rebuttals on why their DD is inaccurate. Their response has been to attack and belittle her. Claiming that she is "shitting" on their community when what they are looking for is for people to stop correcting them on mistakes in their work.

I encourage trade discussions, I don't encourage hype cross posts. It's just very interesting that I picked this up on the corner of my eye last evening while talking with some friends. Especially after a week of battered oversold RSI with GME with no news. Suddenly when they are looking for trading technical support this week, all the baskets go up. The only news I heard that was interesting was from last week was the jobs report in the US was absolutely shocking considering the high rise of price and how many corporations cut positions (perhaps backfill with cheaper salaries?). Too much speculation, but much room for just discussion. You have every right to look anywhere you choose to and I encourage critical thinking, but not to dive all over. This however is nothing to scoff at considering the opacity of the Expert Market that launched last year. We can learn what happens to companies that turn into pink sheet trading.

To be honest it should probably be pulled and replaced by a post that has far more detail and explains why this ticker has any relevance to GME.

I understand the historic connection... but that doesn't mean they're all in the same boat now

You have to make the connection

luma44

You have to make the connection

But luma. That would involve looking up reported long positions, doing that math on how much a move like that would effect their total long position, and diving into whether delisted stocks even meet the requirement to be used as collateral. And that’s no where near as easy as screencap and a ? For a title

1

7:21 AM

So on one hand we have posts discussing how haircuts mean only AAA bonds can be used as collateral and on the other hand we have posts asking if a delisted stock can be used as collateral

7:22 AM

And all of that mixed with posts wondering if banks just constantly crime and if so why do they bother caring about collateral anyway

FWIW I've put a comment on the QVbot. https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1756dd4/comment/k4f5h4t/ I don't think more than a handful of users would have even noticed it was gone imo but that's for them.

I'm leaning towards leniency on the Sears post. Zombie stocks has always had a place on Superstonk and part of the reason there was movement (I think) is because the lawsuits for Sears are completed and it is now going the same way as BBBY and getting removed completely

If you guys keep killing these types of posts you are only just making people bored or confirming their suspicions that things are just suppressed overall. So what it if it does not have a specific GME tie that anyone can point at. Cohen tweeted a backhoe pulling down a Sears sign, close enough for me. It sparks conversation about overall market activities that look like bullshit and for those of us without a PHD in market making or how it all overall works--we like to try to see the conversation and use our brains to decide. Killing something that is running hours after the fact makes it look even more sus.

That's like saying, going to the Honda sub, posting about how great Toyota is, then claiming there's suppression of ideas because they're both vehicle manufacturers. It'd a GME sub.

It’s literally a GME sub :/

Macro economics, but you’re right, OPs should be putting forth the effort to write a sentence explaining how it relates

OK, so you have a hard 'nothing but GME', but you still let stuff up that is not GME related. I guess go full filter then or you have to clarify here and there why some are ok or some are not...or don't and let the suppression claims continue. I don't know what the answer is. Being inconsistent is not it. But you are going to need to kill Starfish, and a bunch of other stuff that made the sub fun. I get it, some of you are not into fun and give off that you are pissed off at the mention of some stocks in particular. I don't know what to tell you. I like a sprinkle of hype, tinfoil, memes and shitposts. But no-one is getting paid for this, and perhaps we are all a little tired of the journey here. Modding clearly sucks.

"OK, so you have a hard 'nothing but GME', but you still let stuff up that is not GME related." That's not exactly true. For example, see the MacroEcon tag.

So if the Sears post had been tagged Hype/Fluff would it have stayed?

8:33 AM

Need more coffee. brb

SPCΞMΞmbΞr593

So if the Sears post had been tagged Hype/Fluff would it have stayed?

So, there were multiple reasons why I think it may have been appropriate and related. I've previously stated that there was an RC tweet in '21 that referenced Sears. Another DD included it as a topic, but that also was a while ago. There also have been discussions on how these assets might be used as collateral (but that one doesn't make much sense to me). However, the point of how it was related wasn't included in the post but enough users seem to understand a connection.

I think it’s less “nothing but GME” and more “GME-centric”, you’re right that it’s a fine line to walk Like, comparing Sears and BBBY, up until very recently people could still buy BBBY and it was being pushed hard that it was a good idea to invest in a bankrupt company. And we were/are being brigaded by folks who aren’t interested in rationale discussion. For Sears, it’s more of a case study to learn from and investigate at this point. BBBY will be the same in a year, I surely hope

"OK, so you have a hard 'nothing but GME', but you still let stuff up that is not GME related." That's not exactly true. For example, see the MacroEcon tag.

Not only this, but people who DO have their posts kept up , are able to directly tie their posts back to GME...

Yes, if OP posts, goes to sleep and didn't reply to a mod request to relate it to GME, then you got what you got. A 1.6k upvoted and running post that I honestly felt was connected to GME, although I don't have the ability to intelligently express or explain it to satisfy the level some of you require. So mods are sus and thats the vibe.

Or missed the request for a better explanation.

8:43 AM

But I don't think the Starfish guy needs to. So there has to be some exceptions or time allowed for such a reply.

A message which cannot be communicated isn't a message that's likely to be well received. Given the speed at which posts gain traction, what do you think is an appropriate timeframe prior to receiving a cohesive explaination on how it relates?

tbh even if OP added “I think this relates to GME because it was also a cellar boxed company but I’m not sure the specifics, hoping to discuss” That would make a world of difference in my books

8:47 AM

It’s OK to not know something, and some folks might not speak English as their primary language making it difficult to communicate It’s all about how you show your intentions with the post. More often than not when we see these off-topic/other ticker posts, it comes from a place of bad faith, pushing crypto, pushing other tickers, etc. (edited)

Anothing thing to keep in mind, espically with posts like this about Sears. For newer apes, the connection might not be made immediately because they joined after RC's tweet or the Zombie stocks DD.

The Sears tweet was what? Summer of 21?

8:52 AM

But even the mods disagree on if the onus should solely be on the OP

8:53 AM

There has been a lot of good theories and DD throughout the years that stemmed from OP's posting "Hey, i found this but don't fully understand what it means, can I get some eyes on this"

8:54 AM

The difference is context I suppose (anothe gray area).

Caffeine & Ketamine

But nevertheless. It's nice knowing that kind of % is possible lol

I mean if you posting just an image the only way to really further explain what it is, is in the comments... I also don't think the requirements to tieing it should be that strict. Even loose possible threads should be pulled on.. like this weird Sears Glitch. It's why I was against pulling it..

8:54 AM

by pulling it i mean removing the post.. probably could've used a less confusing word there

8:57 AM

I guess that's not true nevermind me.. a picture can say a 1000 words

SPCΞMΞmbΞr593

If you guys keep killing these types of posts you are only just making people bored or confirming their suspicions that things are just suppressed overall. So what it if it does not have a specific GME tie that anyone can point at. Cohen tweeted a backhoe pulling down a Sears sign, close enough for me. It sparks conversation about overall market activities that look like bullshit and for those of us without a PHD in market making or how it all overall works--we like to try to see the conversation and use our brains to decide. Killing something that is running hours after the fact makes it look even more sus.

I’m catching up on this but I haven’t seen suppression of well cited and explained research. I’ve seen posts get ditched where OPs don’t put in the leg work of actually explaining their thought process or showing evidence. We could come up with a million guesses why the price of a zombie stock could move. Crime, fat fingered, computer glitch, legit trade, need collateral, broader market movements, etc. but until folks start piecing together actual evidence and not regurgitating buzz words it’s all just babbling that goes no where. And the sub has driven off some deep wrinkles because there are folks who are capable of that research that don’t feel like spending all day trying to explain their point to someone who wants to debate data they don’t understand. But I agree with you that the lack of consistency is problematic and I want to reiterate that it’s why I’ve tried to encourage us raising standards (or setting them) for post requirements. Pointing at sears and saying “wut mean” isn’t enough to warrant a post on SS. It’s a conversation going no where. But a post that looks at sears and maybe other zombie mall stocks and relating them to times GME moved, that makes a connection. If we want consistency we need to stop fostering lazy writing because then it puts the onus on mods/SCC to decide if a post is relevant to GME. That responsibility should be on the author of the post to be clear.

This has been my experience with nearly all the basket/zombie stock discussion for at least the last year or so. People like to point to it when anything moves up or down, but I've rarely seen any decent explanation of how its related or anyone having a real understanding of what a basket swap/zombie stock is. If they put the effort in to explain why its related that's an entirely different conversation. The only reason Sears is even remotely part of the discussion with GME is one Tweet for RC that was what, over a year ago? I think people need to be realistic and accept that Tweets from him or Gamestop are not sending some cryptic secret message urging investors to do.... anything. Is it fun? Absolutely, I love me some tinfoil. At the end of the day I can't even think of one example of a Tweet having a secret meaning and it being true. These folks need to make more empiracle and concrete explanations of how its GME related IMO.

It's not you. Welcome to everything we do as mods, no matter what, even if repeatedly on the record asked to do it, being The Worst Idea Ever. See the options discussion there. People got mad that they couldn't break Rule 1 when telling people options were a bad idea. Their logic was that silent lurkers would see options talk and not the danger associated with options, and fall into a trap. So we made a secret room for options and banished all talk there behind an opt in. Great! Now there's no option talk outside the one room, and no silent lurker is in danger. AAAAAA MODS PUSHING OPTIONS! GIVEN SPECIAL TREATMENT! ... I'm down right now. And I should step away. I'm sorry. This is really wearing on me. The discord has a sickness that's been mouldering for a while. There are a lot of the older users who think it's a super special secret hangout club for the sub users. As far as I know, that was never the intent. But they treat new people like it is, when it's just...an alternative adjacent option for better real time and relaxed nonsense. So every time we say to be inclusive, they think we're compromising their secret club, and don't see that it's just people from the sub coming over to use real-time talk.

How about non-GME stuff gets a mandatory shitpost flair or gets removed with prejudice. Anyone that doesn’t want to see it can filter by flair. You can deem shitposts as all memes, tinfoil, RC general, kitchen sink.

If it isn't GME related or cant be proven to have ties to GME, why allow it on a GME sub?

Lairian -Flairy Type-

It's not you. Welcome to everything we do as mods, no matter what, even if repeatedly on the record asked to do it, being The Worst Idea Ever. See the options discussion there. People got mad that they couldn't break Rule 1 when telling people options were a bad idea. Their logic was that silent lurkers would see options talk and not the danger associated with options, and fall into a trap. So we made a secret room for options and banished all talk there behind an opt in. Great! Now there's no option talk outside the one room, and no silent lurker is in danger. AAAAAA MODS PUSHING OPTIONS! GIVEN SPECIAL TREATMENT! ... I'm down right now. And I should step away. I'm sorry. This is really wearing on me. The discord has a sickness that's been mouldering for a while. There are a lot of the older users who think it's a super special secret hangout club for the sub users. As far as I know, that was never the intent. But they treat new people like it is, when it's just...an alternative adjacent option for better real time and relaxed nonsense. So every time we say to be inclusive, they think we're compromising their secret club, and don't see that it's just people from the sub coming over to use real-time talk.

Please take a break if you're feeling beat down by this stuff. Its SO easy to burnout modding the sub or discord or being an SCC member. I've learned taking a week here or there to unplug from Gamestop stuff really helps. Its honestly hard to do with how involved we are, but you have a lot of wonderful folks around you to take on the challenge while you get some fresh air

Ok. So here’s a case where I think an OP clearly is just calling it related to GME. The tweet has nothing to do with GME and he’s making a claim backed up with no sources. In the comments he is just linking the original article. So by this same logic, I can make any claim I want about any topic, provide no evidence, tell others to go look it up, and this is what we pass as being fine. If it’s removed because it doesn’t relate at all, sub goes apeshit because it’s picking and choosing what stays. If we actually set a standard that says “OPs need to actually back up claims with sources and not tell everyone else to go look” then this content is more readily removable because it has not actually shown the relevance

I feel like many of the points you’ve made today have been in support of accepting low quality. In the history of the GME saga, it’s been high quality effort that’s attracted people to this. The really big DD’s were high quality but aimed at reaching every reader. People wanted to visit Superstonk because no one else was producing research like this and celebrating it. What has hurt Superstonk has been low effort content, spam, and folks coasting on the work of others. We build this place by encouraging folks to get back to producing work that is not seen anywhere else. If our answer is “yeah post whatever, maybe it’s right, no responsibility if it’s wrong” we are not attracting the best and brightest, we would be attracting the loudest.

If used as a non-lighthearted/jokey insult then yes. In the right circumstances any word can probably be a Rule 1 break. IMO the important part is the intention behind the words. If there's no good faith purpose and it will cause irritation, upset or pain then a Rule 1 removal is warranted. But that said there's levels of Rule 1 removal something mundane like this just gets removed with a message. But most "actual insults" will get you a short temp ban.

The real shame of it is that its that 50% who drove off a lot of wrinkled brains. Because when those guys wanted to discuss research they were doing they had to listen to walls of comments saying "doesnt matter, just drs". Or they'd get called shills if what they found wasn't a bullish answer. Or they'd be called con artists if they made a prediction that wasn't accurate. Because there is absolutely zero skill or talent involved in having an opinion but that doesn't stop that 50% from informing everyone else of what's on their mind. I would like it if we could build superstonk into a place where wrinkle brains feel like participating again but that would involve the 50% spending less time giving hot takes and more time asking questions to individuals who do their own research.

So i strongly oppose this vision you have of some glorious wrinkled only sub. Your taking your thought that this sub is trash right now and running with it. I beg to differ this sub is already miles above other subs and the last thing it needs is MORE censorship. The most important thing for this sub to do is just continue to exist. So as long as a post isn't in danger of having us shut down.. I'm probably gonna be for leaving it up. I'd rather not turn this sub into a barren wasteland. I said as much when i joined this crew that I was for open discussion because that's how a lot of people learn.

My only worry is that if wrinkles are essentially pitchforked out, we will be left with an AMCStock style sub where it's pretty much just memes, tinfoil with no evidence, and hero worship. Imo there really isn't an excuse for lacking the attempt to learn from people who know more than you. I didn't know a thing about investing, but I dove into DD that I hardly understood, read it until I did, and then continued learning. We need to return to the days where "NFA/ Not a FA" style DD that is heavily peer reviewed and discussed is the status quo. Unfortunately, for that, most of the intensive DD is done, besides the obvious macroeconomic aspects rhat are ever changing. So until new information/ actions from Gamestop occur, we're left in a gray area. (edited)

Rule number 6. If they have anything that they can prove, so be it.

Seems like we’ve entered a 24hr news channel dilemma. Gotta provide content or the eyeballs go elsewhere. I want quality, but we can’t delete our way there. I like Ultimator5 making cartoons. He’s educating and helping. We are also in a slow slide which takes some energy out of the sub. We are getting some regulatory wins which I think should lead to more hype, but comments continue to stay mostly muted or negative. Not sure if that’s a psyOp or folks are tired.

On other interesting development, some ppl are trying to rile up WSB users to go in on $GME. Twice in 1 month.

The kind of censorship you want though would probably just lead to another case like the Heat Lamp THEORY. Opinions aren't facts but i don't think we should be yanking them off the sub. Just my thoughts on it is all, not like I'm anyone important. I admit I don't know if i'm on the right side of the fence in this debate. But i'm here. Most of my stance is just based off of let the sub decide for itself what content makes it to the top for people to see, most people browsing new aren't newbs. Like i've said I was for leaving stuff up and that's generally where i'm gonna stand when it comes to most posts, even if the thread connecting it to the saga is weak at best. I don't feel like anything should be off the table for discussion. Hell even that post about microsoft and the IRS was interesting to me cause it shows the IRS is making moves....

I don't think Tiberius is requesting censorship. That wasn't the intent I've gotten from his writings

Your attempts to bring transparency to this sub are awesome friend, just want to help however i can. I do want what is best for this sub in the end, and to see it continue to exist. SO i do appreciate everyones efforts here because I don't think people here are doing anything other than trying to help out. I really do love this sub and the people who frequent it and make it what it is. A hub of information regarding GME and the markets it is in. I'll admit i probably didn't take this role as seriously as I should have when i first applied. I'm trying to do better but I'm also aware that I make mistakes and can be wrong.

It’s not censorship. It’s asking folks to cite sources and show evidence of connections. Great example of this is book v plan. An opinion of which is best for an individual is fine to have. But many people on the sub can’t actually explain reasons why they go with one over the other and some cite reasons that don’t completely make sense. But the idea of drs is important enough to continue sharing with more people and we risk it gaining acceptance if the population of the sub can only defend it as “Ryan Cohen tweeted the phrase book king, and a vacation is only planned til you book it” because no one on the outside looking in wants to base financial decisions on someone’s interpretation of a tweet. It gets worse when folks give the answer of “let me send you this DD, it explains it better than I can”. Again, people on the outside looking in don’t know why they are trusting an anonymous stranger on the internet. It’s important that individual apes realize that they need to be able to support their opinions with evidence because if their normal level of conversation is just conjecture we will continuously struggle to grow.

How bout we get someone from Autism Speaks to do an AMA on conflict resolution. I could personally use some pointers. Might be a good resource for those helping with the TR channel.

New accounts showing up from nowhere to tell WSB to play GME? That's going to look sus to their mods too, and given the ticker they're going to assume it's alts and a brigade too, won't they? Speculation of cours.e

Here is the kicker. None of those accounts have any GME history.

Remind me in 3 months

TiberiusWoodwind

It’s not censorship. It’s asking folks to cite sources and show evidence of connections. Great example of this is book v plan. An opinion of which is best for an individual is fine to have. But many people on the sub can’t actually explain reasons why they go with one over the other and some cite reasons that don’t completely make sense. But the idea of drs is important enough to continue sharing with more people and we risk it gaining acceptance if the population of the sub can only defend it as “Ryan Cohen tweeted the phrase book king, and a vacation is only planned til you book it” because no one on the outside looking in wants to base financial decisions on someone’s interpretation of a tweet. It gets worse when folks give the answer of “let me send you this DD, it explains it better than I can”. Again, people on the outside looking in don’t know why they are trusting an anonymous stranger on the internet. It’s important that individual apes realize that they need to be able to support their opinions with evidence because if their normal level of conversation is just conjecture we will continuously struggle to grow.

The struggle to grow has nothing to do with the sub now and everything to do with the fact that it is impossible for it to show up in r/popular or r/all.. The sub would absolutely be growing if that were the case. I'm not against getting people to source claims and stuff like that, or pulling bad posts that are completely unrelated to anything or making false claims. I'm just against the mass removal of posts.

Then don’t get to the removal stage. Set the standard for what a post needs to include. If it doesn’t meet the mark it’s not posted in the first place and there’s no need to remove it.

That should be MacroEcon tagged, but speeches from former experts in the field shouldn't make us look bad.

Yes, I believe this is related to Millertime ban. I think it puts the SCC in a bad spot. We were not there, how are we supposed to comment.

Miller isn't a complex case. Just the backlash was complex. What's the question?

Jack today - DRSGME mods have never made any mistake. Fabble now - SS mods made a mistake. There’s this consistent thought amongst them that no one on drsyourgme has ever made a bad judgement call, only ss mods have. But for some reason, they want to be unbanned on ss instead of just participating on drsyourgme.

Waitingonawait

I edited out my opinion that this could be a big win for mods.. like his name is known and him getting unbanned would quell a lot of distrust that grew out of the plan v book fiasco.

Or a massive loss. He consistently finds people around him who are excessively toxic towards ss mods. I don’t mean “I think you guys made a bad call here, this would have been better”. I mean naming themselves things like “ssmodsaretrash”, using flairs like “fuck Superstonk”, and in general the vibe in their own server is how terrible and junk ss is. How exactly is it a win to unban a guy who doesn’t look at that and say “knock it off”

Good points. Seems odd this is in the same span of close time

Yes. Im curious if anyone here who has generally been pro-DRSyourGME sees the trend of allowing/ignoring toxicity as a mistake on the part of the mods in that group. Because imo anyway, the points I made above keep me feeling like unbanning miller presents nothing but risk, and I believe others here share that sentiment. Has allowing hate to foment worked out in their favor?

That's why there's little overlap between the discord mods and the sub mods. 2 totally different moderation needs. In the Superstonk discord, the sub mods pretty much only watch the reddit related channels and the discord mods handle the rest. That helps a ton.

8:08 AM

Many of the mods you might not recognize by name. The preferred method of modding is under the SuperstonkMod account, mostly because the sub can be soooo toxic towards removals. I'd say probably 1/3 of us have thick skin to mod under our username with mod tag.

8:09 AM

I'd say probably, Luma, myself and Plat are the most common people who remove under our reddit names. (which makes it seem like we are the 'face' of things, but really it's because attacks on our character bother us a bit less than the others)

It's interesting. One of the common requests is that we just add more mods. For the size and activity of the subreddit, we are far above the suggested mod count

Now, there's self promotion and there's monetization. As a sub, we've allowed more GameStop marketplace creators space to allow for monetized self promotion, but only on the weekends. There should be further discussion with users if they want to expand which monetization should be allowed.

Good news on short reporting today from regulators and we have the usual rush to be negative and dismissive from many. Honest Question: how many of these are bad actors & how many are just extremely negative people. It’s exhausting to run around the sub and comment that good developments are good things. So frustrating. (edited)

They killed the engagement in the sub.

Ok, rant over. Back to work.

Also, in the next week or so, I'd like to have a voice chat meeting with the SCC. Just an informal check in. As you can tell, so much stuff gets lost in the scroll if you miss a few days. This will be a chance to talk about anything on your mind SCC or mod related.

Ugh. Don't put this in there, but depending on how this upcoming voice chat goes, maybe in future ones we can do it on the Superstonk discord and have it open to the public for listen only. Like the SEC meeting today

@Community Corps Member, I shared this with @Superstonk Mod but would love to get your feedback as well. The monetization thread from the other day in the SCC has had me thinking and wanting to provide some flavor to statements made via data. I would also like to take another moment to field any questions or comments folks moight have so far. About the project:

Is a self hosted version of https://ghost.org/
I am not not tracking for ads or anything like that, just basic analytics
The only way someone's name and email are recorded is if they signup to be a member (because they would like email notifications)
The site has been active for about three weeks now
There are no ads, store, crypto address, etc.
I am currently self-supporting and paying for resources out of pocket (more than a couple of GameStop shares a month at this point) BadassTrader was awesome to share some information with me and paired with some information I have been able to put together, and I believe I am on the path to accomplishing what I set out to do with https://dismal-jellyfish.com/ --getting the word out to a broader audience outside of just the sub about GameStop.

1:26 PM

1:28 PM

TLDR: in a little over two weeks I am getting the word out 'better' (in the algo's eyes via keywords) than Peruvian_Bull and his Substack and Dave with We the Investors via keywords. I believe I am capturing my mission statement and aim to keep doing what I am doing but again, want to temp check with yall to make sure folks have some insight as to what 'I am doing' my end.

It could but I would prefer stylelisticaly to avoid something like that especially since it is not 'industry' standard it appears.

I would only look to 'monetize' when my 'costs' are more that what I can volunteer to the community (on top of my time and efforts). Say traffic is nuts and I have to move to a full dedicated server and the such--at what point is letting folks know how much goes into putting something like this on and if they want to donate acceptable (for example)? To be honest, it is quite a check of privilege to even do what I am doing now (and in the position in life to support something like this on behalf of what I believe to be the greater good).

The crux is being a moderator. Monetization is a complete different topic that needs to be visited for everyone and a user poll needs to take place if that was to change. From my viewpoint, that's very unlikely that any change would be made.

Loads of the sites we allow have a donate button for upkeep.

I think focusing on the fact that he is a mod is also taking away from the fact that what he is posting about is VALUABLE to the sub.. so if it's helpful to the sub why should it not be allowed? Especially if there are currently no ways he is monetizing it. If that changes, can the stance not then adjust to be that he couldn't be allowed to post?

I do not bring this up because 'look at me I am popular' but to call out a large portion of the sub is interested in and interacting with the material posted on a daily basis. To me, making this information further available in as easy and as many ways possible seems like a 'correct' next step.

So, you have more chances to exploit the visibility of posts with that coming too. It's going to open a big bag of worms where users believe that which posts stay up is due to the money you'd make from possibily being a paid poster.

I'm still stuck on if it's valuable to the sub why are people trying to get it pulled? comes off as suspicious and that your obviously doing the right thing by presenting a professional side of superstonk.

The objection is founded on the possibility that those moderating would abuse their powers to make money.

and is a shit ton of stuff I would hate to lose access to

I also think it's worth exploring in general. DJ hasn't monetized, we are talking about hypotheticals currently. But this discussion needs to happen.

I think this is a great idea, personally. It'll feel less like we're picking on Real Jellyfish, and not Hypothetical Future Jellyfish, and that might be good for detached objective discussion?

Any time he's got a show, he can shape which posts are rising by removing them and pushing his view count higher. Is he abusing his position as a moderator for financial gain?

I mean this is partly why the SCC exists, to give insight and transparency into removals... he can't just remove a post because he personally whims it?

Additionally, it's absolutely possible that he isn't abusing his moderator powers at all, but the fact that he has the ability is what leads to a conflict of interests.

Does anyone understand how the new reward system works? Is it essentially giving people the abilities to dump money onto posts?

The work flow as in place within in the moderation team and by extension within the SCC ensures that no singular one person makes decisions in terms of what the community does or doesn’t see, our role is simply only to ensure that no damaging content enters the sub

As far as I knew, there isn't any two step process for removing a post. Which means that a singular moderator can make decisions for a post, correct?

It comes down to the possibility of power being abused if I'm understanding RW correctly.

But the removals are not without their transparency - and it's not only usually a team discussion as had to communicate our thoughts in regards to removals, but there is equally accountabilty with the named user and who removed it

Transparency to whom though. I can remove a post right now and the SCC wouldn't know who did it.

I don't want to put other mods in a tight spot, but I am open to sharing my monthly mod actions with the SCC on a rolling basis if that helps with any concerns of that going down)

The SCC team doesn't see what's being removed? I can't draw any conclusions based on which posts may or may not be removed unless I'm watching every post.

It might be different if full mod logs were available

assuming that can be broken out somehow

This does announce an issue, within the primary goal of the SCC....

Oh god.. so i'm pretty sure it is like people can just dump money onto posts now... A suite of six gold awarding options will appear, starting at $1.99 for one gold, and up to $49.00 for 25 gold. A golden upvote will appear in place of a regular upvote after gilding. Users will continue to earn karma on content upvoted through the regular upvote button.

I'm seriously just wondering how you even have a rule of no monetizing when they are making it so every post can be monetized... Your perspective is appreciated sorry that i'm not in agreeance with you but as someone said to me it really does help to have that opposing perspective!

So, it was a rule that was discussed a long time ago to remove that conflict of interests in that historical moderation team. Now we can see just how big of a problem it could be with ThePPShow. These new changes by Reddit are going to make everything much harder. It might be time to bring this to the users ahead of time because of how frustrating this will be.

and I truly believe we need folks outside of reddit to hear this message when they search for stuff

Also, and this is also spitballing here, but is the rule outdated? Both bbby and amc did a much better job at getting their respective words out because they weren't as constrained by rules as we are.

But we now have X monetization for engagement. Do all Twitter posts need to come down too?

2:58 PM

The landscape is changing and we need to update (or clarify) the rule soon

It might just come down to explaining how the No Monetization rule isn't enforceable now that these platform changes are being made. Definitely pose it as a question on how it should be applied in the future, but we need to talk about it soon.

It will for sure be in before the end of the year from the sounds of it.

And there obv wasn't information about how these upvotes play into the algorithm of what gets seen and pushed to the top.

Not to be a jerk, but with reddit having monetized posts already, how is modding any post not a conflict of interest in some way for any mod now since every post could be monetized?

@Community Corps Member, I shared this with @Superstonk Mod but would love to get your feedback as well. The monetization thread from the other day in the SCC has had me thinking and wanting to provide some flavor to statements made via data. I would also like to take another moment to field any questions or comments folks moight have so far. About the project:

Is a self hosted version of https://ghost.org/
I am not not tracking for ads or anything like that, just basic analytics
The only way someone's name and email are recorded is if they signup to be a member (because they would like email notifications)
The site has been active for about three weeks now
There are no ads, store, crypto address, etc.
I am currently self-supporting and paying for resources out of pocket (more than a couple of GameStop shares a month at this point) BadassTrader was awesome to share some information with me and paired with some information I have been able to put together, and I believe I am on the path to accomplishing what I set out to do with https://dismal-jellyfish.com/ --getting the word out to a broader audience outside of just the sub about GameStop.

That whole conversation was a read, phew. Awesome that though this discussion likely came from a place of bad faith have you given it serious thought and attention. I think (if you haven't already) just copypasta-ing what you wrote in the first few posts would be a good summary/thing to point to on Reddit (maybe a post on your profile, probably not the sub at any rate)

Hopefully there's more engagement without rule breaking than with. You'd really think people would get "no division" by now SCCrage

The video itself isn't too too bad... It doesn't share any websites it's just a dude filming himself talking.. his data might not be 100% accurate but the message is power to the people and retail is the whale.. I found it useful because i had forgotten that a lot of what blackrock and vanguard do is hold peoples retirement funds basically. Not as simple as that obviously but its hard to sum these things up in digestable forms. I'd love for more people to upvote the comments arguing the data than mine lol i just wanted to comment to encourage people to watch it and not just gloss over it.

Yeah, I nipped a few out of line comments in the bud but the majority are okay thankfully

4:16 AM

The video is macro enough to be permissable imo. I'd already approved it earlier

For sure.. kind of a dark irony that people preaching the 2nd ammendent are kinda having their 1st one dismissed a little lol. But that kind of talk isn't exactly helpful.

It's about time and place. I'm absolutely not advocating that "no one can talk about this ever" but not in this space specifically. Even within the same website there's countless places it's appropriate.

@Community Corps Member @Superstonk Mod: given that gold and karma can get you paid from reddit on a monthly basis, along with the monetization guidelines, I believe the 'quality of content' may need to be examined as well. For example, this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/179j90q/finra_instinet_fined_38million_for_misreporting/ The make a sensational claim that links to twitter that then links to finras page that then links to a doc that then needs to be searched to even find what they are talking about. I have previously covered this topic in depth already and shared a link with more context https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/179j90q/comment/k579kww/ For the record I am not taking any mod action on this post (for potential perceived conflicts of interest). However, I also recall there has been discussion amongst this group about the level of discourse on the sub. With all content potentially monetized there will certainly be more and more of a race to the bottom to please Reddit's algo vs the spirit of the sub unless, imo, both SCC and Mods work together to get out in front of it.

and from my experience, my approach is working

I was not able to dig into the long scroll debate that happened yesterday. Anyone got a TLDR to bring me up to speed?

What comes to mind is.. how does this work with linking articles now? like if someone just posts a link to someone else's article and can montize off that.... or even just use AI to rewrite it.. like.. what a can of worms...

sandman11235

I was not able to dig into the long scroll debate that happened yesterday. Anyone got a TLDR to bring me up to speed?

I am not looking to put words in anyone's mouth, but I understand it at: me being a mod and having an outside platform means I am always in position to be conflicted towards that. The mods have tried to show how that is not the case (structure in place to manage this) but the potential for conflict will remain so long as I am a member of the mod team (or at lest that is how the more suspicious amongst the community will view it).

sandman11235

I was not able to dig into the long scroll debate that happened yesterday. Anyone got a TLDR to bring me up to speed?

Here's a Chat GPT summary of each individual's stance on the topic of Reddit's evolving monetization changes: The Golden Upvote. Take with grain of salt please.. I'm just having fun with AI. The "golden upvote" refers to a specific form of upvoting on Reddit, where users can opt into a program to award posts and comments with a "golden" or paid award. This award is typically associated with a monetary value, and when a user uses it to upvote a post or comment, the recipient may receive a portion of the award's value as a reward. It's a way for users to show extra appreciation for high-quality or engaging content while also supporting content creators on the platform. This system is distinct from the traditional upvoting where posts and comments gain visibility and popularity through increased upvotes, as the "golden upvote" is tied to a financial component. Rough_Willow: Concerned about balancing support for content creators and blocking potential grifters, suggests that the "No Monetization" rule may no longer be enforceable due to platform changes and calls for a discussion on how it should be applied in the future. Lyrad (Crybad): Acknowledges the changes in monetization, raising questions about how these changes should be applied and advocating for the need to update or clarify the rules soon. Waitingonawait: Expects changes to take place by the end of the year and expresses concern about the impact of upvotes on post visibility. dismal-jellyfish.eth: Raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest for moderators now that every post could be monetized, especially with Reddit's introduction of monetized posts. Skytoph: Offers reassurance that moderators are also users and can participate in discussions on the topic.

Here's a Chat GPT summary of each individual's stance on the topic of Reddit's evolving monetization changes: The Golden Upvote. Take with grain of salt please.. I'm just having fun with AI. The "golden upvote" refers to a specific form of upvoting on Reddit, where users can opt into a program to award posts and comments with a "golden" or paid award. This award is typically associated with a monetary value, and when a user uses it to upvote a post or comment, the recipient may receive a portion of the award's value as a reward. It's a way for users to show extra appreciation for high-quality or engaging content while also supporting content creators on the platform. This system is distinct from the traditional upvoting where posts and comments gain visibility and popularity through increased upvotes, as the "golden upvote" is tied to a financial component. Rough_Willow: Concerned about balancing support for content creators and blocking potential grifters, suggests that the "No Monetization" rule may no longer be enforceable due to platform changes and calls for a discussion on how it should be applied in the future. Lyrad (Crybad): Acknowledges the changes in monetization, raising questions about how these changes should be applied and advocating for the need to update or clarify the rules soon. Waitingonawait: Expects changes to take place by the end of the year and expresses concern about the impact of upvotes on post visibility. dismal-jellyfish.eth: Raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest for moderators now that every post could be monetized, especially with Reddit's introduction of monetized posts. Skytoph: Offers reassurance that moderators are also users and can participate in discussions on the topic. ProgVirus: Suggests that the conversation is in-depth and commends the participants for giving it serious thought, recommending using Rough_Willow's initial posts as a summary or reference for discussions on Reddit.

Is this a private or public version of gpt? Would hat eto see this end up in someones hypothetical story since it was trained publcly lol

I think we need to put together a community post ASAP.

Do you want to put this into an early Fireside Chat?? I can get a draft going today and post tomorrow morning

Well shit sorry.. it's probably public as i'm still learning the basics of AI lol

If the post can be cut down to an informative one that lets people know what's going on and how it's disrupting sub rules, then that would be excellent.

The gritty details on how it's going to change the quality of content and how users want the rules to change to reflect these issues can take place in another chat.

What I'd like to enlist us all to do is thread this conversation and crowdsource questions and concerns that we have

Then we put these to radmins.

It sounds like we could potentially positively impact how reddit gold ultimately works, and I guarantee there are things we've discussed here that they may not have considered.

(for helping with questions)

I just forsee issues with people posting articles on this sub, getting tons of golden upvotes, and the article writers coming after this sub specifically.. Just think of all the negative articles that come through here that would be fodder for trolls to dump golden upvotes on. Hell man even with AI i can take an article and in 2-3 minutes rewrite it to be 'passable'... like i'm sure they've thought about all this.. I would hope they have...

Well, this will eliminate maybe 60-75% from doing this…

It's been a little while, but I've no reason to believe it couldn't.

Like sure if i'm browsing my own feed it pops up but not in r/popular or r/all... I mean look at ringingbells post.. 6k upvotes.. still 16 hours so still young.. why not there?

I don't honestly know how their algorithms work or what the threshold is.

6:33 AM

But if you look at some of the big big big subs with like 50 million people... 6k upvotes is a drop in an ocean

3.7k upvotes. bout the same time. not far into pop..

There's a huge difference between 1% and 0.1%... sort of like household income.

I just find it very hard to believe sir that we can make it to r/all or r/popular

This gold thing is so frustrating tbh. There's just so many different ways it can play out and effect the entire site. "Karma Farming" is about to be an entirely different level.

6:43 AM

So many repost bots are going to make bank on r/mildlyinteresting and other viral subs

Imo gold shouldn't effect how we moderate at all. If it obeys the rules then it's good and if it breaks the rules then it's gone. We can't effect who users gold and where but we can continue to effect the quality of the content on this sub via moderation imo. We could add a rule (or modify rule 2) to be stricter on "karma farming" but what constitutes that is up for debate and we'd be combating "fun" on the sub which I'm very cautious about doing.

The Catch-22 is that we already have a No Monezitation rule, which enforced would mean that every gilded post should be removed, which is ridiculous. That's why there needs to be a discussion on the topic as Reddit has forced everyone's hands.

We can't verify who has or hasn't signed up. How would the No Monetization rule be enforced when we can't even know who is monetizing?

So whatever rules we enforce need to be the same standard for all

I mean we could just remove the first sentence.

Again making a "no karma farming" rule could be separate but I'm not at this point convinced it's needed. As long as content is Rule 2 compliant it should be fine.

Hey... Gosh getting info has been sort of an uphill battle. We (not just me) will have some contact with Radmins in the context of this gold thing. I'm hopeful that this can expand into a better relationship and more questions being answered... Short version, there may be an opportune moment to pose several questions and I would gladly include this one. But it's not like we have a lot of back and forth currently. (edited)

8:08 PM

That fair?

For sure i understand it would probably be a touchy subject they wouldn't be likely forthcoming with that information... Just as a frequent poster and such I can say I'm pretty confident we have been quarantined away from r/all and r/popular.. Not even sure what good an answer to that question would really do? Not like they would suddenly lift it if it's been in place for this long.

Honestly... My perception of Reddit is that... (And this is me speaking) it's a smaller and more segmented/compartmentalized organization then you might think. It's entirely possible that the people who we engage with about gold are not at all familiar with analytics or metrics

8:10 PM

But I definitely am hopeful personally that we're able to develop some better connections (edited)

We're already in the program. In return we have a direct line with Reddit admins to have questions answered and try to have things go/develop as best they can.

@Hipz and I got our start doing the "the daily stonk" back in the day after rensole left. What was fun about it was that it was positive - sharing recap best of stuff. Best DD. Best memes. Best/positive stuff that came up that day. The fireside chat doesn't need to follow that format... But it doesn't have to be all serious either. Maybe the SCC can add some shout outs to the best DD/memes of the week in a "in case you missed it" sort of format.

I don't know but honestly it was my all time favorite prank because the media site could have fixed it at any time, but were clearly too tech illiterate to do so.

So I’ve been looking through the comments on the FINRA Arbitrator post, and it’s filled with toxicity mainly coming from PP Show/BBBY brigaders. The post itself is educational and helpful imo I know (and agree with) being inclusive, but I am having trouble seeing the value in letting that toxicity have a voice on the sub, especially when it’s turning to literal harassment. To any onlookers, they think it’s us being shitty when every vocal account I’ve seen posting has PP and BBBY posts/comments, and only seem to come out of the woodwork to harass and detract from good discussion What is the take of the moderation team on this? And others in SCC too? My POV: I’m really starting to think a firmer stance is needed. I don’t see value in letting that fester and grow, and pretending it isn’t there really isn’t a solution either (edited)

Arriving late. Here are my thoughts: First there was a call out post (prove a negative or sus). It got taken down for good reason. Then Plat put up a post that was both education and tongue in cheek bitchslap—I’ll raise your Call Out with facts/information that highlight your stupidity. PP/Towel actors throw a temper tantrum in a GME sub. As far as I’m concerned it’s a honey pot. Tomorrow is Monday and the weekend will be over. Did I miss anything?

Send them to the shadow realm. This is my personal opinion, but I don't value the opinions of people who's initial view is to be a shitbag without substance. I understand shitposting, I understand making a point and being a bit sarcastic, but when you're just a dick, I have no interest in having any kind of discussion. There's a common denominator with these bbby/ppshow folks, and it's that their entire intention is to be a troll. If you take a few moments to scroll through that circle of hell called a sub, you'll see that they mirror amcstock style tinfoil hopium with no real substance. Harassment, slander, and trolling is their primary weapon of choice. Fuck em. I'm an honest, blunt person but I'm also capable of being objective. I'll call out people when they're wrong and Plat doesn't deserve this level of BS. Idc if they hold GME or not, this sub isn't some half assed clowncar. Superstonk is a billion dollar collective of individuals who are here for the squeeze and to make legitimate changes to our financial markets. Not a frat house for finance bros

It's amazing when you merely essentially say "hey there's no evidence so we're just going to play it safe and maintain the rules of the sub, but this can be a place you talk about it", you get downvoted and dragged through the mud for it. These towel/teddy people are really becoming a pain in the ass (edited)

Tinfoil isn't fact... yet they demand it be respected as such

Yeah it sucks that people lost money and I wouldn't tell anyone to buy or sell anything, but when I see so much misinformation spread everywhere.. I mean I tried to talk about the Feb docs in the bbby discord and they kicked me out for saying it was dilution

8:34 PM

So I talked about it on Twitter

Tinfoil isn't fact... yet they demand it be respected as such

They are addicted to Hopium.

If there ever were to be an actual RC connection then we'd have to reconsider but at that point he already sold it all, so we figured we'd make that a megathread. There were plenty of posts like that before that

"The sub should be free to talk it out" is almost always "my idea is garbage but I want my brigade to make it look reasonably respected" in my experience. I am not a sub mod, and drink paint. I am best ignored.

“Sub should talk it out” = “I have a hunch and I desperately hope someone else has evidence”

Lol I think a lot of bbby holders are GME holders and wanted to be able to use our sub to keep the RC connection alive

8:40 PM

Well former bbbyq holders

One thing I find absolutely hilarious are the comments who demand that towel stock should be allowed to be open season on a GME sub, without censorship....while in the very same breath demanding Plat be censored on multiple platforms from stating mere factual evidence and demanding that tinfoil hopium not be presented as reality... The hypocrisy is hilarious and severely saddening

“Sub should talk it out” = “I have a hunch and I desperately hope someone else has evidence”

I thought that was "Why isn't anyone talking about...?"

But if we can separate from that as much as possible that would be best that stock had literally the worst outcome possible happen

It should be a very sobering cautionary tale on not following hero worship and that fundamentals matter because the company needs to stay alive.

I think there’s a contingent of GME holders live with a belief that because they own GME, they are geniuses. One good idea they copied off someone else translates into everything they do is brilliant.

Trust no one, only trust the documents coming from the company

Honestly not really sure what to say of all this. Going nuts with the ban hammer seems over-zealous. I don't want to say superstonk should be exactly how i think it should be, but i still stand against censorship. I would LIKE this place to be for discussions and learning. Which i don't think is very controversial. I also don't think there aren't bad actors out there that do deserve the ban hammer... Just trying to issue a warning not to go to crazy with the censorship or you might as well just hit the mute button on the remote until this party kicks off.. I wanna avoid calling this place an echo-chamber but you don't see too many dissenting opinions here, it's mostly the same flavor. So here is mine

‍♂️ Should also put that while i don't think anyone deserves hate or to be shit on here, when you sign up as a mod your signing up to be a figure-head and trolls are unavoidable in this day and age. They don't need much to go with and run. To try and steer the conversation away from this stupid drama.... i'll bring this up because i would like to know more about the contingency plan for when MOASS starts? What is the plan the mods have in place in how to respond? Seems like a good issue for transparencies sake so the community isn't caught off guard.

I appreciate you speaking your mind Wait. Let me respond to some of your points individually so I don't accidentally ignore anything:

Superstonk is certainly for discussions and learning, do you have any examples where it isn't? I'm a little confused. /gen
We're very selective with the ban hammer despite any memeing you might see from us. Temp bans are handed out to anyone that has a drop of good faith. All appeals are also seriously considered.
Certainly we need the mix of opinions, even if it puts you in the minority in a discussion. Should the majority have confidence in their position they should be able to reason their side without issue!
While being a figurehead can put you in the spotlight. Should trolls or bad faith individuals come out of the woodwork it only makes them stand out in a good faith community. It's part of our responsibility to uphold Rules 1 & 5 no matter who they're directed all at (sorry to state the obvious, just responding).
- MOASS plan as far as I understand it is to continue as we do. Our moderation rules shouldn't need to change. Our subreddit filters prevent spam/randoms flooding in. While the amount we need to moderate will probably go exponentially up we'll still have the time to discuss and determine actions on the fly. Since none of us can be certain of the fallout of MOASS on the sub making a "step by step" plan is likely planning for failure.

That wasn't meant to be an accusation that it wasn't. I can understand where all the bobby hate comes from, and can't say i disagree with censoring it out to some extent. Or to shit on people here. There are quite a few wrinkles in this discord and i enjoy reading the comments for the most part. Also wasn't meant as saying you guys are out of control right now... Just voicing concerns at some of the other comments. I bring up the plan just because of a private conversation with a mod where it was discussed about bringing it to the SCC as i understand there is a plan in place... Not saying the plan will go according to plan... but not planning at all is planning for failure. At such a critical point, i'd feel better knowing mods had an idea at least of what kind of actions they would take to deal with the sudden influx of posts and visibility. Not as if you guys don't already have your hands full.

3

although thinking more on it the karma requirements set in place should really help with that.. Less people making fresh accounts and posting simple questions... I still imagine there will be an influx of subs and people who do have karma. I'm also a pretty firm believer that once things kick off the government will step into this sub publicly to maybe shut things down so there's no communicating between individual shareholders... so choices and plans may be entirely irrelevant. Still can't say i don't support having one, in case they don't.

Usually I'd be right there, but this isn't a case of censorship, this is a case of applying the rules. Other stocks don't get a focus unless their connection to GME can be clearly defined and recent. Furthermore, there's quite a few brigadiers who want sub rules enforced outside of Reddit. Individuals are free to do and talk about what they enjoy outside of our sub, this includes mods. While I think it's not wise to kick the drama llama, that's up to each individual. It's unfortunate that these users are stuck in the five stages of grief, but this sub isn't a suitable place for them to receive a support group.

censoring: examine (a book, movie, etc.) officially and suppress unacceptable parts of it. Not arguing the case that there shouldn't be some censorship, given its ability to divert funds away from GME in the past.. Just issuing a word of caution about going nuts with banning people for good. There are rules to this, i get that. Rule 1 is the most important. Be kind to each other. These 'people' got fucked over by the same system fucking us over, how is that not a connection?

It'd be a connection if we were a support group for people who can't pull out. We're not though. They need to process their grief elsewhere.

Hey Wait. I really appreciate your thoughts. As the newest kid added to the team, I came into modship with the angle that bans and censorship was a little too much. I too like the grit of Reddit and believe people should speak their views. I miss proof or ban. I rode Bobby to the end. I bought the absolute peak @34 a share AH. Legend

and held to bankruptcy. I see what you're saying. It has been difficult to wade through the grey of Bobby posts and maintain a true GME sub. I've advocated for less censorship. The grey is super hard to navigate. I think the mod team did a decent job. Also - when the ban hammer comes out, I've questioned mod actions and chatted with them about the bans. I too was angry that my fellow mods were being personally attacked. We sifted through all the bans and had to make hard decisions with the option to appeal for everyone who was banned. It's been a tough process. Just wanted to let ya know that your message resonated with me. I get ya.

7:14 AM

Regarding bans, in the end, the users who got them definitely deserved them (edited)

There's a difference between censoring and having a zero tolerance for slander and targeted harassment... I think it's as simple as that. Nobody is censoring towel investors, this just isn't the place for them. Unless they can show a direct correlation, backed by evidence, to GME, then I don't see why we need to appease people who are overly aggressive because they can't follow rules and are insecure in their own investments

I appreciate the mental fortitude it takes to be able to sift through that kind of stuff and make these calls. Troll farms are real things and this most certainly would be a target. I hope i didn't sound like i was being harsh on you guys, i do very much respect you for what you have to go through. I'm also not exactly questioning some of the bans. Harassing mods isn't acceptable behavior either.. Mods = people too..

I'm not trying to call anyone out.. Getting more people on board would be great. Honestly discord seems to be a much safer place to have open conversations about things and get objective opinions.. in some cases at least... Honestly i just don't have a lot of self-confidence when it comes to a lot of things, other than GME, and always doubt myself and views. Because a lot of the time i'm gonna be wrong when i'm learning as i go. The encouragment to continue speaking is appreciated. I may end up stepping back a little at some point, for mental health reasons. Like I said before it's why i respect you guys so much because for me mentally it's just too much. As someone once pointed out to me i'm either 100% or 0% when it comes to something. Really just trying work on balancing things in my life better. Think i'm getting off track here so i'll just say thanks to mods and everyone on the crew, including tibby. (edited)

So yes... but it's clunky. Reddit hasn't built a good feature for it so it's only usable half the time or we'd risk incidents getting caught in the crossfire. We try to really only use the function for egregious report abuse (slurs, harassment etc.) (edited)

Might be something that is still worth talking about. Even if we brought this together as a community post that there are bad faith reports taking place. Maybe a request for members to be mindful that the report button isn't a "I don't want to see this post" function. Go over the multiple ways users can hide posts or users they don't want to see? I'm just spitballing at this point though.

Yes, report abuse can be easily reported... But... It's definitely something we treat gently. We've found that reddit almost always bans accounts that reported the post (even if there are some legitimate reports in there). (edited)

9:10 AM

So for instance, let's say you have somebody who's upset about a post do the self-harm reason. I don't know why people think that's funny but it's a thing. We don't get to see the Reddit self harm. But then you also have somebody report unsure but it seems sus. And you have another person who reports no brigading because DOP often participates in another sub. So now you have three reports. Maybe the first report was done in bad faith. Clearly it's not self-harm. But the other two may have been legitimate attempts to alert the mod team that we should review the post. If we reported report abuse it would be all or nothing and our experiences that read it would take action on all three reporters.

9:11 AM

So can it be done? Yes. Is it easy? Yes. But we only do it when it's egregious

9:11 AM

And typically only when there's one egregious report (edited)

9:12 AM

Otherwise, good people get banned

Be alert, BBBY is being mocked on WSB, expect angry PPs in the near future.

For something new or just getting out the Monday giggles?

Just somebody complaining on the Fidelity sub that their BBBY shares were removed from their account.

Thanks for the heads up. That won't be permitted on superstonk. No matter how anybody feels about the BBBY play or community, nobody should be mocked and no sub should be brigaded. Please report any instances(s) you come across early and often.

It's odd how insync it is (edited)

Since last night I've been poking around other posts on and off Reddit, including YouTube, anti-NFT sentiment videos, etc. being posted and in the comments is the same song and dance, pointing back to that shitty YouTube video. A lot of the most vocal appear to have a keen insight into the specifics of the GME saga - the anti-NFT comments are a veil for broader meltdowner narrative. There's a lot of circular referencing going on pointing to that video which to the layperson gives it surface credibility

PPs certainly make for excellent straw men. I go back & forth if it’s to discredit GME(apes) by association or whether they are innocent yet useful idiots.

Usually because it is

Especially if brigading is happening off site (as in off reddit) it's really difficult for us to prove anything. This is not to say that you're not right by the way. This is simply to say it's not uncommon for there to be a community of people who share a post and then start dog piling on the comments without really realizing that that is textbook brigading. It's a far simpler explanation for what looks like coordinated action... It's just a bunch of people who get into a feedback loop with themselves. Some discord group or Twitter chat (edited)

That being said if the post needs to go or if we need to escort some accounts out the door... So be it. Feel free to tag anybody that you think warrants a second look

Sealioning

Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

GME investor or not. With how many of us there are, there's bound to be some trouble-makers

For me it really boils down to this and I think other mods will probably agree. We definitely appreciate the fact that there are people who hold GameStop stock and also hold other similar stocks. AMC and BBBY have similar investors, really. At the end of the day I would not be surprised if there was a significant overlap. But it's a matter of two things:

Purpose: We have tried not to be ambiguous about the purpose and focus of superstonk. While it is true that we followed RC into his play with BBBY with slightly more tolerance the first time, We are unabashedly GME. So people who come here trying to bring other tickers even if there is shared DNA with the community is violating our structure. That violation is unwelcome - otherwise we lose our identity and become another Wall Street bets or RC sub or something else. People should make such a sub if there's a demand for it. We will always support a GME centric sub.

Accepting information: people need to be able to accept information in good faith. What I see from many of these brigaders is an unwillingness to assimilate new information. They find it a lot easier to go through the cognitive dissonance mental gymnastics of there being some massive truth that we are hiding or obscuring and it makes them feel very combative towards the sub and the mod team. I wish that they left space for more criticism of BBBY in BBby centric communities and that there was a willingness to assimilate new information instead of continuing to double and triple down without proof. This is not to say that GME investors are so great about assimilating bad information either, But we don't ban people for being bearish if they bring evidence. We band people for doing critical without data. It's just as harmful to be steadfast and bullish without data.

So that's my beef with these guys. They don't respect the culture that we have as a community and they're unwilling to listen.

Because, some folks bet big on bbby over a year ago and took a big L. Then along comes a YouTube channel that gives them hope. Youtuber gets to prey on their hope the same way televangelists do.

“the lord just needs $18m dollars to build this mega church so we can spread our message world wide and you’ll go to heaven, send it to me now”
“we just need to read 18 more dockets to come up with a new strategy that will see the company saved and you get paid, thank you for your donation”. Of course it’s all nonsense. They don’t believe in bbbyq getting saved any more than the guy on tv thinks he’s going to heaven. But they need people to believe in it who will keep donating. The televangelist says anyone who disagrees with them is immoral and driven by Satan. PP says they are shill plants. They have special meet ups for the most devoted that cost an entry fee. The followers have likely never actually read the literature themselves because it’s easier to listen to the guy on the screen give his interpretation. It’s the same fuckin song and dance.

Honestly, it doesn't sound all that tinfoil. Just like shorts want companies to die - nothing would please them more than our small communities infighting each other to hasten our own demise(s).

Any reason to redact on this server? /gen I'm not sure there's a lot of upside in it per se, and may be not my place to ask.

I think some of us would be curious to watch them after. Are they making matters worse? Are they inciting others to brigade? I've got a little bothersome feeling that this is a coordinated group but I can't place why I feel that way.

Because it was obvious. Every wave has a new style. They're either playing clueless: "I'm just asking questions guys, why is everyone hostile?!" They're either pushing the boundaries knowingly trying to insight arguments, by utilizing a loophole fallacy. They set themselves in a situation using an argument that is a lose/lose for anyone within their conversation. Or As they did this time around, we're flat out aggressive, trolls, and hostile in their attempts to diminish the integrity of the Sub and those within it. They were demeaning towards GME and were hinting that RC is some Towel Secret Agent.

This GameStop thing isn't funny; it's stupid Opinion by Josh Barro Jan 27, 2021, 4:34 PM MST A GameStop store on November 27. Brianna Soukup/Portland Press Herald/Getty Images • For some reason, people are cheering the GameStop bubble as a victory for the retail investors. • Those retail investors are going to lose their shirts when this bubble pops. • Disconnecting stock prices from enterprise value leads to stupid outcomes. • This is an opinion column. The thoughts expressed are those of the author. • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. There is this bizarre narrative that the Reddit-driven GameStop stock bubble amounts to a way for ordinary investors to "stick it to the man" by causing some hedge funds to lose money — that those funds have been taught a lesson for selling short. Like GameStop's current share price, this narrative doesn't make any sense.

12:06 PM

As of this writing, GameStop's share price of about $340 gives it a market capitalization of roughly $23 billion. For comparison, Best Buy is worth $29.5 billion. But Best Buy is a far larger enterprise — it has about three times as many employees as GameStop — and more importantly, Best Buy makes money. It earned profits of $1.5 billion in 2019, while GameStop lost $471 million. The original, putative theory behind the Reddit-driven push to buy GameStop was that the company had a good turnaround plan and would successfully shift to online game sales and start making money again. Whatever the merits of that theory when the markets valued GameStop at less than $1 billion, it's out the window at a market cap of $23 billion. Even with a turnaround and rosy expectations of profits from the GameStop business, the valuation of the company at this point is not justified by business fundamentals. Retail investors getting caught up in a ridiculous bubble is not a win for the little guy Given the divorce of the price from the underlying business, GameStop's stock has been turned into a purely speculative asset, like a cryptocurrency. Read more: How hedge funds are tracking Reddit posts to protect their portfolios after the Wall Street Bets crowd helped tank Melvin Capital's short positions Yes, some hedge funds lost money, and a lot of retail investors are up, for now. But they can't access those gains until they sell. When they sell, the price of GameStop will fall, and the retail investors who bought late will lose money because there's no fundamental reason for other people to buy in at such a high price. And why should we assume the net losses on this price roller coaster will accrue to institutional investors? Some shorts got popped with the run-up in GameStop, but a fading, money-losing business with a sudden market cap over $20 billion for no good reason is surely attractive to new short sellers, who will gain as the new retail buyers lose. If GameStop is overvalued by $20 billion right now, that's $20 billion of losses waiting to accrue, largely to ordinary investors who got caught up in a fad. And while some of the traders have gotten cheered for buying at the top by their internet friends, this is far from a desirable democratization of Wall Street — this is just a new way for regular people to lose their shirts.

12:06 PM

I am not a salty loser Before you call me a "crybaby loser" whose short position blew up — as a number of you have been doing on Twitter for the past couple of days — I want to be clear: I don't do any short investing, which is prohibited anyway by Insider policies. This rule is so that I can call you an idiot from a position of objectivity. I have never had any financial interest in GameStop, except for the very small long position I hold because of my ownership of total market index funds. My shirt is not the one getting lost here. And who decided short selling was a bad thing? Shorts play a valuable role: They help identify companies that aren't worth what they appear to be, so those companies don't waste more of investors' money. Actually, short selling is good I realize shorts seem like huge spoilsports and killjoys for betting against the futures of specific businesses. But the purpose of the stock market is to allocate capital to productive businesses so that useful investments are made in the real economy. It doesn't always work perfectly, but fomenting irrational froth in businesses with no fundamental reason to soar in value makes the markets only less effective at that goal, while short campaigns against overvalued companies make it more effective. "Short sellers have alerted us to problems in companies before the government and others did, like at Enron," said Jason Furman, a professor of practice of economic policy at Harvard and former chairman of President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers. Shorts more recently helped reveal the financial fraud at Wirecard — over the objection of German regulators who defended the payments company when short sellers accused it of accounting shenanigans. If you want to see what a market without short selling looks like, look at the private markets, which have in recent years blown bubbles public investors wouldn't tolerate, like at WeWork and Theranos. If it had been possible to sell Theranos stock short, maybe it wouldn't have taken a decade to figure out the company didn't have a product. Not everything should be democratized I understand people feel frustrated by low interest rates, which mean you can't park money in a risk-free asset and earn a significant return. This encourages investors to seek risk. But the idea that retail investors have been deprived of the opportunity to make real money through vanilla investments isn't true. If you bought broad stock funds three months ago or a year ago or five years ago, you've done quite nicely. And since the GameStop speculators by definition are people who had some money to put in the stock market, that avenue was available to them. So the idea that these people — bored people with money — are a downtrodden class engaged in a righteous fight against Wall Street just doesn't wash. The best thing to do to improve returns to vanilla investments that are appropriate for retail investors is to improve the long-run growth of the economy. And I do have one note of sympathy for the investors who complain there's no yield to be had without nonsense like this. One reason to favor a significant fiscal stimulus package (besides that it will provide relief to the sort of people who don't have money sitting around to throw at Reddit investing trends) is that if it "overheats" the economy — tightening the labor market and causing prices to rise — that might tend to push interest rates up. This is not a switch the Fed itself can just decide to throw; rates are low because growth expectations are low. But boosting demand and output can boost those growth expectations and make higher rates appropriate again. And in addition to increasing the return on safe assets, a rise in interest rates would, hopefully, take the gas out of investing bubbles, like this especially ridiculous one. (edited)

Re: the lurker apes I mentioned, those are some personal friends who both reached out independently last night/this morning asking what the hell was up with the uptick in those post/comments, so that’s anecdotal, but raised some alarm bells in my head as we normally don’t talk GME/Superstonk in detail. They’re not super engaged, neither know each other, but both felt compelled to ask me what was going on, so just treating that as 2 data points

While I value other opinions too, I don’t believe either of these messages are healthy or even well-researched or articulated. Some of them are speaking in absolutes as well For example, re: unDRSing, trust with Computershare was brought up as an issue but not at all elaborated on. CS is GameStop’s chosen transfer agent in a business relationship with them. If trust is an issue, good discussion would include ‘why’ they think that, otherwise that in my view just serves as a throwaway justification that I have trouble not seeing as FUD With CSPs, we literally have OPs saying themselves it is a call to action. I’m not even anti-options per se, but if you’re going to throw out “you MUST do this”, you better have an iron-clad argument as for why. Even DRS isn’t a “must”, but the comments pushing for selling CSPs appear “my way or the highway” (edited)

For better or worse, (and I may be projecting) I don’t see the sub as a whole open to learning new things. People have made up their minds regarding DRS and options. Jack’s amygdala is in the drivers seat now.

I agree that calls to action are problematic across a variety of subjects. The message is one thing, and the means is another and both options talk and DRS talk can suffer from it. If trying to manipulate on emotions in either context, definitely not ok. For the one guy who said he was partially unDRSing, I think you are looking too deeply into his "lack of trust." For me, it did not read as casting shade and necessitating a why. He's using CS primarily, but doesn't trust any entity completely enough to place everything that he has. This is a logically sound conclusion to make even with Gamestop's endorsement given that they are not omniscient nor have the ability to predict the future. Personally I find the general premise of custodian diversification to hold merit adding increased resilience not only on an individual level, but even more importantly on a collective level so that any financially incentivised countermeasures within the vast probability space would have to be increasingly complicated, visible, and difficult to carry out. While his other ideas may need some defending, I think that part speaks for itself implicitly.

Re: CSPs OP claims this is similar to DRS calls to action, but in my recollection all of those calls that you must DRS were nixed from the sub for being CTA - it was through organic research over many months did individuals in the community conclude it was safe and desirable, so grass-roots.

I think so. I think the author tried to justify the theory and discussion of the mechanisms by bringing up the old saying. But I also think because he believes it might work and personally acted on it- he leaned a bit too hard into it by harshly characterizing ComputerShare. All of which is already going to be hugely opposed because it involves unDRSing, what more the seemingly putting it down to justify looking into this theory. All this just means a more heated charge about DRS, and I haven't really seen discussion about the theory or mechanisms he's talking about. Which- after reading, has flaws. I don't know about the margin requirements and such, but margins infer that the shares are transferred into the Margin account in your brokerage. This is different from a Cash account, which from my own research has separated terms and conditions and I found clauses in margin accounts brokerages have the ability to liquidate your shares in order to stave of their own bankruptcy. This isn't safe. Let's say even if this theory triggers MOASS, the shares you used to start it could be used to stop it, or cause you to miss out on it. Cash accounts are generally safer. (edited)

Really not encouraging people to get in bed with someone with ties to Epstein. I also have no idea how corporate bonds work if i'm being honest. But i wouldn't be surprised if there was some shit buried in that for anyone with enough wrinkles. Same goes for McDonalds. https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/enk8bw/slowmotion_trainwreck_that_is_victorias_secret/ In all fairness i'm really trying to shut up and get off social media. Whats funny is just how much things ramped up negativity wise since i dropped the post about splitting to a 50/50 DRSed position. Doesn't seem entirely justifiable in my eyes, i'm not selling any shares and still believe in Directly registering shares is a very suitable course of action, especially if your a longer term investor. but someone now i'm labelled as being anti-DRS. It's not like i'm repeatingly spamming that message anymore, i went back to what i was doing before which was just skimming through filings and fintel to look for outlying things. FFS one of my post sone of the pics the top holding in the company is Schrödinger. Just weird stuff. You can't say that GME poses a systemic risk if the system is not connected on some level. Iunno. I don't have anything else planned and really just wanna step away till earnings in December. I'm also not really watching this discord but figured i'd caused some conversation here and popped my head in.

I'm not sure the reactions should be surprising at all. Multiple people over multiple instances pointed out that this would be the reaction.

Whats surprising me is how many views a post on my page is getting while i work with it abit..

12:54 AM

kinda freaking me out tbh

12:56 AM

Honestly i think i sorda got it figured out, as good as i'm gonna get it. Ive said it 100 times so far but i really do plan on stepping away soon. I really do mean it when i say it but i keep pulling myself back into looking at just 1 more thing.

Even the best intentions can be viewed negatively. I hope you're able to stick to your break plan and are able to come back refreshed.

Well, you can recognize the benefits. Trust yourself in the importance of getting help. We're not going anywhere and we can catch you up when you return. If it were me in your situation, I'd take the detox. It'll likely give you a new perspective on things afterwards too.

Rough def has a point though i think a detox is in order. People who need them don't usually want them.

if you want, we can give you a temp ban for however long you want. I know Superstonk can be addicting, and it wouldn't be the first time someone requested that. We're not going anywhere, so pls feel free to take a break & come back with refreshed eyes. Just let any of the mods know if that's what you want to do, and if not no worries! also, thank you for all your contributions! I love a contrarian view, it makes people rethink why they're doing something, which is always good imo

Appreciate the thought, i should be okay to follow through with it this time. My sister has asked me to go and i listen to her because she loves and cares for me and wouldn't ask me to if she wasn't worried about my behaviors. I can also recognize it myself. I mean ffs i went in and snuck out again so i could keep digging around in this stuff. I've also checked myself in about a few times in the last 2 weeks considering this as an option. But i think with this last post i've hit the finish line so to speak. Or the gas tank has finally hit empty rofl. Not really sure how it would work but Naomi Klein is a boss would love an AMA with her but it's not exactly related to GME and the markets might not be her area of expertise? I'm just a really big fan of her work and her book has stuck with me. Not sure why i never connected it to Ken Griffin and Chicago... the book was tough to read and stomach but i imagine it was tougher to write... Thank you again everyone for all your contributions. It's the people that make this whole thing special. I've enjoyed getting to know you all better in this discord. I'm kind of just killing time right now, need to get a ride and its still 6:30 in the morning. I'll go when people have had time to wake up and such. editting in this: I will pop into discord when i'm out and say hello at least, i use discord for gaming so i'll still be on it even when i get out. I'm not quitting video games rofl. (edited)

Unsure if/when you're planning to look to expand SCC member count, but Rogue Wisdom over on the Discord was asking if we're confident in scaling up as AMA pushing gets worse as launch day approaches. They're interested in joining SCC and helping out if you're willing.

We're getting closer to the next draft...

Hey @Rough_Willow , can I ask your feelings on us allowing the Mulligan Brothers doing an AMA and promoting their movie?

Lyrad (Crybad)

Hey @Rough_Willow , can I ask your feelings on us allowing the Mulligan Brothers doing an AMA and promoting their movie?

Are they the directors that also had a method of watching the film for free? I think it might have been Vimeo or something?

No, you still had to pay on Viemo, it was the alternative to Amazon (because fuck Amazon)

I support doing an AMA with the Mulligan Bros, but is there a reason we are reintroducing this. It has been controversial with the self promotion aspect that gets complained about (often by the HLT contingent) that were also on a DRS witch hunt and calling these guys out.

I don't think Rule 10 makes a distinction between direct and indirect self promotion, but maybe it should. For example, if they wanted to suggest people should watch their movie, that's one thing, but providing links to pay to watch their movie is another. Additionally, their movie was released in March and they want an AMA now? Did they say why?

Maybe the part 2 is ready?

9:54 AM

They can have an AMA but as RW said, no links to go pay for the movie.

Chato35

Maybe the part 2 is ready?

If part 2 is ready but not yet released then I don't see as clear a link to self-monetization as there is nothing to purchase at this point.

No no no, sorry. I was just using the Mulligan Brothers as an example

12:28 PM

I think it's time to revisit and refine rule 10

12:28 PM

I'll make a thread in a bit

It is what it is. Everything adapts over time

Personally, I am a fan of erring on the side of more rules and making rare exceptions when an example is exceptional. Otherwise the gray area becomes a harder battleground. It's easier to justify an unprepared allowance than an unprepared takedown imo.

SCC Hat Off: I support updating the rule for a carve out to exclude GameStop and GameStop partners from the no Self-Monetization rule. Additionally, if changes are to be made then I look forward to the community post to get input from those who care to leave a message. (edited)

SCC Hat On: As we look at updating our rules we need to achieve a higher level of engagement with users expressing what they are or aren't in favor of so that these changes fairly represent our users. What better way to increase community engagement than with a giveaway? When there's a reward (and we give adequate notice it's going to happen) then users are more willing to engage. If a subscribed user with any level of engagement prior to when we start the announcement that there will be a give away makes a top level comment that expresses support of one of the options then they're entered to win. I'd request that we really workshop the post to make sure that the options are clear and have overlap. If it's possible, maybe we could reach out to GameStop and see if they'd be willing to donate some gift cards to give away? Or even writing GameStop partners? It still may not garner the level of engagement that we'd like, but it should greatly increase the engagement.

I think there's value in tying together some sort of giveaway to bring engagement. Not to rain on your parade, but GameStop proper will probably not want involvement with this sub... And physical giveaways of any kind introduce safety and security risks for people. Shooting from the hip, the best scenario that is probably the shortest path is an NFT giveaways from mp partners ... But that is far from a lock.

Okay, then I can donate gift cards.

Rough_Willow

Okay, then I can donate gift cards.

There may be some steps between having you fund the project

2:58 PM

But I want you to know I really appreciate the sentiment

2:59 PM

At the end of the day, we really just want enough engagement to make sure that any rule changes are reflecting the wills of the community and keeping it safe. It's too bad that there isn't intrinsic interest in doing that. I think that there's probably a lot of ways to make it slightly more fun and provide some sort of incentive to participate and certainly ones that don't reach into your pocket RW

2:59 PM

I think NFT partners would gladly donate

2:59 PM

And frankly their doing so brings visibility to their projects too (edited)

luma44

Tell them to stay tuned

They had a specific thing they wanted to talk about re: the AMA, told them to try DMing you or another sub mods since that's not something discord side can help. Not sure if they'll follow through, hopefully that wasn't out of line. Worst case, they rave nonsense and you tell them it's very interesting, I figure, and best case it's insightful.

What’s launching?

Yeah, context sort of got lost. We need to start onboarding the next round of Scc members and getting them trained (and figure out who has an interest in sticking around)

What constitutes a GameStop partner?

What constitutes a GameStop partner?

GameStop usually announces them.

Rough_Willow

GameStop usually announces them.

What about NFT creators on the marketplace?

On the GameStop marketplace?

Rough_Willow

On the GameStop marketplace?

Yeah

GameStop get's paid every time an NFT gets sold on their marketplace. I think it's reasonable to allow content GameStop's profiting off of on SuperStonk.

6:20 AM

Should GameStop batteries be allowed to be posted on SuperStonk given that the manufacturers make money off of the batteries being sold?

1

What if GameStop partners say for example, IMX or LRC wanted to promote something about their product, but it's not so clear how it directly benefits GameStop, or the benefit is vague and broad such as "This promotes web3 gaming, so GameStop marketplace benefits by osmosis"

If GameStop's partner Microsoft was wanting to promote something that only could be purchased from their online marketplace and not GameStop, I'd absolutely feel like there was an issue with Self Monetization.

6:26 AM

Not everything that has to do with gaming has to do with GameStop.

I ask this because in the brief and few (which you should take as me being a dumb guy about the topic), partners like IMX and former partners like Telos are good at being very coy about how GameStop directly benefits from whatever it is they wish to promote. That leads to quite a bit of tinfoil and potentially into

6:28 AM

--opps, areas that may become dangerous grounds

6:29 AM

I'm not really making any point, just curious and working out what the thought process is

I think that if they can't make a clear case on how it fits into the stated partnership (which usually has details about what and how) then they've got no case.

6:32 AM

Previous partnership statements have covered the scope of the partnership.

No, you still had to pay on Viemo, it was the alternative to Amazon (because fuck Amazon)

Hello friends.. i could use some help here.. i don't just wanna make another post, as i'm trying to stop redditing.. but i came across something incredibly weird and i'm hoping to get some more eyes and brain power on it.. its called VALE.. and its weird.. aww fuck.. Vale S.A., formerly Companhia Vale do Rio Doce is a Brazilian multinational corporation engaged in metals and mining and one of the largest logistics operators in Brazil. Vale is the largest producer of iron ore and nickel in the world. I'm not even sure where to start. I'll link the fintel page because it's got so many familiar names involved recently. It shows a weird spike in shares owned by institutions a while back.. yahoo revenue is 40 billion with 100 billion in profit.. its only 20% owned by instituions. 4 billion shares outstanding.. https://fintel.io/s/us/vale (edited)

1

Honestly, that value is a factor of 12x larger than any other period. I can't help but think that the first reason is that someone fat fingered some data. The mistake might be at the Fintel site or with the reporters that they compile the data from. I think the first step would be to verify that the reported data actually totaled to the observed data for this specific period of time. This will be labor intensive and I'm not inclined with my current activities.

digging through their filings is a mess lol they are huge and foreign. and honestly I'm not inclined to dig around in this stuff myself either, i did find this though. Thats about as far down this rabbit hole as i wanna go, it looks as though they have quite a few connections to government. Honestly just came across it as i was digging through fintel for my post on r/stocks.. that got like 10k views but 0 comments... I just included it as an addendum. I was mainly trying to find out why the discrepancy in filing dates on Exor investment.. https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/17vfc15/understanding_filing_dates_better_how_is_it_that/ I'm just full of questions lol I'm set to make today the first day i don't comment or post at all though and continue on that trend. I feel like I'm about out of things to contribute to this and just wanna get more shares. I'm also pretty stubborn too so im just trying to turn that around and use it to stop myself when i feel the urge. That said i think theres 1 more thing i'd like to share but i might drop that in the diary part. It's regarding NAKD.

Random question, how many moderators are on duty right now?

Random question, how many moderators are on duty right now?

Define "on duty"

8:59 AM

We don't have shifts or anything

9:00 AM

So it's the mods you can see in the sub modlist that are available whenever they have the time.

So, I've seen other subs schedule shifts with moderators so that coverage can take place around the clock. Doing so can help identify where there's gaps in protection. I'm not sure the Reddit Admins will be forgiving of "well we didn't have any moderators online when the brigading was taking place" as an acceptable excuse. If our solution for more of our complex issues is to trust the moderators to take care of it, that 24/7 coverage is critical to quickly and effectively address these critical infractions.

Reddit allows for a reasonable amount of time to clear the queue. Given that we usually clear the queue daily we shouldn't have any kind of issue with Reddit about speed of action at least. We don't schedule when mods are around but rather allow for mods to be active whenever they have the time. This is after all an unpaid voluntary position. Except for the hedgie paychecks. /j

I think this highlights just how ineffective the suggestion of "just report it to the mods" is. The issue could be swaying the minds of those who haven't noticed a troll for hours before it's removed and the users who do notice are powerless to bring attention to it. The only path is a sizable time commitment to explain logical concepts like burden of proof and what logical fallacies they're using all the while the troll says "I'm just asking questions!"

9:12 AM

I've invested a sizable number of hours addressing trolls and there's never enough time to explain all the ways they're wrong so that others aren't swayed by their bad faith arguments.

Despite us having no clear schedule we do have at least one mod available almost all of the time as far as I've seen. !MODS! is a quickfire way to get someones attention to an emergency issue.

Many many tickers down today. Folks seriously say out loud “GME down on no news wtf”. We have a population so out of touch with the fact that it’s an entire market that moves that they can’t distinguish when something is crime or if it’s just a red candle.

Or how about this one? Folks who insist the options market is a scam and mm/shf don’t actually hedge but completely ignore that when large blocks of contracts get sold we see pretty significant movement immediately.

2:43 PM

Oh and there’s the current soup de jour, upset that ftd report didn’t come out but also staunchly believes numbers aren’t reported accurately. So they are upset they were not shown numbers that they don’t trust anyway

Ape goes uuga buuga when Ape no education about options. And educating is out the door thanks to pickle boy and the likes.

I definitely think the options market is a scam and the video of the hedge fund insider saying that they don't hedge is what finally convinced me. Additionally, it's not illogical to be both upset that our government entity isn't publishing data that they're obligated to publish (they might just have been getting in extra time before NNN but who knows?) and also believe that hedge funds who have frequently been fined for quite a lot of illegal shit would also do illegal shit with self reported data.

It’s a scam that made me $550 this week out of $125. And that wasn’t by accident, it involved looking at mm hedging requirements based on daily positioning reports. Damndest thing happens when big blocks of puts sold to mm show up in a day, price pops with them. Folks can be upset about numbers not being audited or being fraudulent. Folks can be upset about accurate data being withheld. But them being upset about a number they believe is fake not being provided is goofy, especially if the data does eventually get released and if it’s not what they want to see they’ll insist it was doctored like they already expected it was. It gets progressively harder to take people seriously when they get upset about stuff like this. (edited)

Every week, the vast majority of options expire worthless when the price of the stock ends up ending at approximately the max pain value. You're not experiencing what the majority experience when they buy options. As for numbers? Even bad data is data. When I see self reported data, I think that it's the minimum they're willing to admit. That still has value regardless of if the data is completely accurate.

The calls I bought on Monday were sold by Wednesday. Yes indeed they’ll likely expire worthless, but between those 2 days they rocketed in value. You don’t hold them to expiration.

7:46 PM

That’s like saying “most food eventually rots”. No kidding, that’s why you eat before that occurs

As someone who hasn't done options more than baby steps, and not in ....over a year now actually when I ran out of ANY discretionary income, that's kind of also how max pain works. Like...at a near definitional level as options get sold off. As I understand it at least. It's not that price moves to max pain. It's that max pain is based on what options aren't dumped yet. Welcome someone telling me that I learned it wrong, or am wildly misremembering, but it's not a static set value.

Yes, it’s a point constantly in flux based on current contracts. One of the factors that determines a contracts value is the time on it until expiration. When that is at 0, even if your contract is itm it can still be worthless because it might not be worth anything to buy it.

8:01 PM

But that’s why you don’t hold them until expiration. Monday mid day I bought $12.50 strike calls that will expire tomorrow. When they were up a boatload by Tuesday I sold a chunk off to cover initial cost and bought some $13.50. On Wednesday I start selling off a bunch off those when they were up. And then this AM the rest sold off when the stop loss kicked in. I don’t care that these contracts, that in all likelihood were bought back by the mm, will expire worthless. That’s the buyers problem.

Me and options:

Full of surprises, me. Re: options, no doubt that they can be amazing tools in the right hands

I'm pretty much at the same level as @Lairian -Flairy Type- in understanding. I think the key point here is that while it's easy to deride virtually anything as a scam, the truth is usually not the case. Options market isn't a scam, but there are loopholes in its mechanisms. TA as a method of analysis isn't snake oil, but some gurus use it to sell books and subscriptions. It doesn't make the whole thing one generalized ploy against retail. In fact, I think the reason why GME has a MOASS play is because the market isn't a complete sham. The sneeze happened because a function of the market (retails buying a whole slew of GME instruments, stock and options) went against a loophole in the system. For every DD i've read, there's always a reliance on some mechanism in the market for MOASS to happen.

If you spend the time to learn:

how Options work
what your own goals are when purchasing
what the risks are given your goals (if any) Then it's just a tool in the toolbox for buying and selling. Depending on your goal it's simply a more profitable way to purchase the stock. You can DRS afterwards without issue.

If I had to clarify my stance, I wouldn't say options are a complete scam but there's so much ability for OCC market participants to completely change the environment so quickly that it may as well be a scam. Some of TA is absolutely a scam, Wyckoff for example is complete conjecture, but I've yet to see TA that is more correct than simply flipping a coin. I absolutely agree that the GME has MOASS play for the very same reason. The entire market isn't a scam. Those with the most money and power aren't playing by the rules but a lot of smaller fish that have so much to lose absolutely are following every rule.

I think inside of 2 months we are rapidly approaching a hard bottom and we get a significant enough of a reversal that those who know how to capitalize via options will have an opportunity to do so. I don’t do options but I don’t throw poo at those who know what they are doing. I personally don’t think options will lead to MOASS, but they can be useful to some. And I think options will be discussed favorably on the sub AFTER the window of opportunity has passed.

You know my Taste the Rainbow dd posts? That was one of the factors on why I was so confident buying those calls. And it wasn’t just this week, since late October it picked all 3 of the bottoms to within a day (closest it hit was within 7 cents actually). And over two years now of working on it, even if I show the last month of data, even if I tie in bullish rsi divergence, even if I tie in large block orders of mm long puts…..I’ll still have folks say it’s bullshit despite the fact it happened. But the sub gets fed a steady diet of low standards garbage and they’ve grown to assume it’s all garbage.

Exactly.

The barrier of entry for options is so much - when compared with "Buy. Hodl, DRS", where the one thing you need to explain at a cursory level is "shares held in your name (instead of just 'on your behalf' with a broker), like paper certificates back in the day but digital". To be successful with options, to really understand what is going on requires not just knowing you and your own position, but paid access to data on what other participants are doing. The learning curve is vertically asymptotic for a lot of folks, myself included Like, to draw a parallel, when talking with others about options it's like talking about Dismal's site and the tracker. You can't prove to people who don't understand the technology whether it's safe or not. If there is not mutual agreement on the assessment of risk, it puts you in a difficult spot. If you point out their ignorance, they snap. If you try to explain, well they've already made up their minds and probably won't listen. Bad actors will just ignore you and never address the lack of understanding they displayed. Same thing different topic for options Then there's the history with for-profit-idiots like Gherk, and the recent demands that people sell Cash Secured Puts. It's shit like this that have given options a bad rep from within the community. I think it's an important topic though, and I know of a couple of lurker (personal friends) who feel the same way, but quite a few apes do hold to anti-options rhetoric (which I think is totally valid, given that history)

I’d agree there is more thinking involved. But the first step is to start with buy/hodl and just ask “hey is today a good time to buy or will it be cheaper tomorrow”. Not worrying about options but instead just thinking about if something is a dip or not.

The CSP push, it’s not a bad idea. You are either buying the shares for the price you pick or you are pocketing the premium, that’s the only two outcomes that can occur from it. Plus, as the price drops it forces the mm (the likely buyer of the put) to buy shares because if the price drops low enough to make exercising worth while they need the shares to sell to you. So it can end up helping to stabilize the price. I think the bigger question is whether the price holding steady is something to even be concerned about. Company doesn’t need to raise money with a share offering. Apes like to keep buying the stock and they acquire faster as the price drops. But it could also have consequences on finding quality execs who don’t want to hold or be paid in stock that’s dropping constantly.

The arc of this meta-narrative seems constructed upon the theme: “They made every possible financial misstep and still won through sheer perseverance. What they told themselves in the beginning held them to the end…that we can stay retarded longer than they can remain solvent.” read by Morgan Freeman. Cue credits

It’s a thankless job trying to educate apes. Thanks for your willingness TW.

If you don't mind me asking, does anyone know how the doxxing occurred? If there's something we're missing that makes us vulnerable to it, we should try to use this incident to become more resilient to it.

It is not that hard. Since they went and collect data on the ledger and match it with the bot entry comes to mind.

1

In this case, it almost entirely happened off Reddit... his post breaks down some of the data points. I don't think it was the ledger/DRSyourGME stuff

If that's the case and anyone is in the same position, I'd reccomend buy orders that aren't posted to change up your numbers

I think this is a perfect opportunity to discuss what value PP members have in SuperStonk when this is what their associates do.

Agreed... I'm not usually one for attributing guilt onto associates, however, I will say that not one olive branch, not one legitimate DD, not one single shred of genuine behavior has come from anyone on that sub. They're vindictive, vapid, vacuous (lot of Vs), and spiteful people who value a good troll over rationality, and will do whatever it takes to maintain the veil of hopium they've gotten addicted to over time.

11:49 AM

In terms of pure numbers PP sub has around 18 or 19,000 subscribers... If you look at their hot section things hit hot with about 40 or 50 net upvotes.

11:57 AM

While I'm prepared to admit that the 900 and something thousand people that we have at superstonk maybe inflated by bots and alts... There is no comparison as to the enormity of the size discrepancy between these communities... And the truly bad actors are subset of that (edited)

Rough_Willow

We can control what they post on SuperStonk. I don't think we should have any association with a group condoning this behavior.

At this point I think we're all in the same page than any evidence of brigading should be liberally reported here and in the sub

I think my point is a little stronger. I don't think there should be overlap between a known Doxing group and SuperStonk.

I guess treat me like a moron (which is general advice for communication with me) and break down what this looks like into action steps that we have influence over

And of a moderator here. I wouldn't think it's over the line at all to ban them all for engagement in a community that tries to physically harm our members.

Obviously I agree with this point

12:04 PM

But in terms of specific actions that you're advocating for, are you advocating for basically banning the mods of that sub?

12:04 PM

Or banning anybody subscribed to both? (edited)

I'd definitely start with the mods. Then I'd take a zero tolerance approach to any reported user who has a history there.

So good news bad news

12:06 PM

The bad news is I'm going to respectfully disagree about the mods (edited)

12:06 PM

Here's why (edited)

12:06 PM

I beg of them

12:06 PM

Beg of them

Personally that's fair. But what precedence does this set for DRSGME who tried to dox the entire Superstonk community with the ledger?

If this is the route we're going, it's a bit more gray area than cut and dry. This would have to be a case-by-case basis of reporting people who have a large attachment with that sub, and, history of actions that show they're just problem people.

To be dumb enough to brigade us directly

@luma44 When it comes to physical safety of our members, there's no room for allowing them to engage.

However, the good news is that we've adopted a fairly conservative ban stance towards users who are active contributors of PP show AND trolling super stonk (edited)

12:08 PM

We're not seeking out people with a pp post history, But it's definitely become a factor in our decision about bans for people who are reported

At what point do we ban them all? When one of them shows up to BadAssTrader's house?

Let me reinforce, I'm not defending these guys who have doxxed badasstrader

12:09 PM

I'm just more looking at it from a dispassionate perspective

12:10 PM

Even if we agreed that anybody subscribed to meltdown and PP show deserved a ban

12:10 PM

We have no way to implement that

12:10 PM

We can talk about this offline actually but this is sort of the driving force of satori

Third time will not be the charm.

I think we should evaluate people on their individual actions imo. If someone is gullible enough to fall in the wrong crowd, putting the hammer by mere participation an another subreddit will push them further into the other subreddit

I think we just continue doing what we're doing, making sure we don't brigade their sub, take the high road, report content that is dangerous and trust that the truth will out

2

If it’s being reported and evidence exists then report to Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube. Will they absolutely do something if it isn’t happening on their platform? No clue and my guess is no. But they also might not be too keen on fostering a community on their site that behaves like this and would rather cut ties before it becomes and issue. IMO, pressing these issues on the other platforms is gonna be the best play because that’s where these guys are generating money. When that goes away they’ll shut down. (edited)

I'm...actually pretty aligned with Rough Willow on this one that this is way past a line of silence and acceptance within the community being too far itself. I don't know how to mechanically do something about it, but just wanted to express an agreement that silence is condoneing here.

1

But none of that is on the front page of their subreddit. You can't condone something your casual use leaves you unaware of. If they write something somewhere a snide comment on the matter, that's another story. Edit: Oh you mean mods. That I don't have much of an opinion over. (edited)

I wonder if it would be easier/harder to just make a gate kept discord channel in the existing superstonk discord?

I like where your head is at, for the record

I think @ProgVirus was doing research on that and determined it was technically plausible, though we weren't sure it was a great idea to have a pseudo-pay-channel with some exclusion. Basically we're trying to listen to Ian Malcom saying "just because you can doesn't mean you should". But we were discussing in context of just the Power Up Pro NFT or something.

Spot on looks doable with Collab.Land and Seph clarified the Discord bot’s permissions are pretty lax when compared with most. This is the same solution the Loopring Discord settled on, so I have some info of their config, seems very doable

It should be noted that I often come up with ideas that are limited by a lack of understanding of what I am doing.

My thought with it being a surprise for making a charity post is this, no one can come back and say “oh well I would’ve donated something if I knew this would happen”. Cause what jackass in their right mind will say that when the reason for donating should just be in the spirit of the holiday, not for their own gain. Ultimately I think it’s just an opportunity to test it. If it’s a shitshow we don’t need to think of it again. If it works we can figure out a broader use.

Oof. What was the final nail in the coffin?

Based on previous experience doxxing is a possibility altho bats post didn't seem to have reddit admin worthy smoking guns. It was probably the pattern of not moderating his sub and telling his followers to "wink wink nod nod, don't do this thing that's against reddit rules"

Pretty sure BAT dox is the anser. It was what nailed DRSGME to the wall

Don't know

Does it take 2 or 3 days for a Computershare purchase to be activated?

sandman11235

Does it take 2 or 3 days for a Computershare purchase to be activated?

Yes, from purchase the money needs to settle then the purchase goes through then the shares need to settle. All of the above on working days so expect about a week for it to land in your account.

sandman11235

Does it take 2 or 3 days for a Computershare purchase to be activated?

Whatcha mean? Autobuys or 1 time purchases

1 time

9:12 AM

One time purchase on a Tuesday for example. Do they actually purchase the shares Thursday or Friday.

9:13 AM

I think from experience it’s 2 days. Just making sure

Based on Ultimator's tracking, it would be Friday or Monday, depending on what time of day you submitted the order.

9:15 AM

Reoccurring purchases are reliably the third business day after the 1st or 15th, but those orders are already in the system 1st thing in the morning

Im not talking about reoccurring purchases. If I purchase through CS one time as a $$ amount today, when will the shares be purchased (assuming this is a standard trading week).

A purchase today would be three or four business days in the future, and with tomorrow being a holiday it probably doesn't count, which would mean Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

9:22 AM

Depending on what time today the order is submitted. I don't think we have nailed down a specific point where the cutoff is

Ok, I’ll experiment on my own. Thanks

sandman11235

Im not talking about reoccurring purchases. If I purchase through CS one time as a $$ amount today, when will the shares be purchased (assuming this is a standard trading week).

Order > CS takes money > CS waits for money to settle (t+2) > following morning > CS sends order to their broker with other orders in a batch > Broker sends order to market > CS waits for shares to settle (T+2) > CS automatically DRS's the shares under 'Plan' > They should then be in your account. I wrote that over a year ago lol

Add another / in after ".com" so it looks like .com//r/Superstonk. I believe that works.

I buy through Vanguard and then DRS, but I also buy through CS sometimes.

sandman11235

I buy through Vanguard and then DRS, but I also buy through CS sometimes.

Same here. I usually buy through TD (Swab) and DRS but also buy though CS once in a while. I like setting limit orders on charts. That's primarily why I have been buying through TD

Yes, I have a specific window I’m looking at and I’m going back and forth as to the best way to execute.

i always buy through fidelity and then DRS, unlike what i've heard from schwab/td users. as soon as i initiate a deposit, i can buy GME within 1 minute

Yeah. It's always just kinda struck me as weird that people latched onto hating Fidelity for...one moment, where everyone else had to do the same.

they seem to be the best out of all the choices (where no choice is really good, just the lesser of the evils)

tbh I'm jealous how easy US folks got it lmao. DRSing from my broker in Canada costs me $300, takes weeks, and the one time I needed to do it they ignored my instructions to use my existing account number ending up in a new one being created, more weeks waiting for a new letter, etc., but eventually did get consolidated. This is why I am mad thankful for Wise + CS Buys (tho I do miss picking my price)

Bbbyq folks are assuming RC told him he’s wrong. My own tinfoil guess is RC told him that he’s stoking a fire that’ll go out on its own and it’s not worth pissing off a group of nutjobs who might legit try to get him fired or harm him. Compared to early in this saga, RC has gone very quiet on Twitter and that seems to have happened shortly after getting out of bbbyq and the following legal issues. So I can imagine he has a much more authentic understanding of the importance of not engaging with folks who try to spin your words constantly. Wish I had an inside line with the guy and could just ask him directly but no such luck.

Hmm. I've been a tad disconnected attending to person things. But it seems to me that his response of "I need to rethink this" is not consistent with your latter explanation

9:03 PM

That being said, I guess it's presently unknowable

I took the rethink as “do I really need to be on this crusade? Is it worth fighting the guys who already lost?”

I take it to mean diminished confidence in GME

9:12 PM

I can't imagine what RC would have said... especially knowing there was a high probability of it leaking

He said it’s nothing directed at GME community but a personal message to him. Besides, RC couldn’t talk about the stock/company right before earnings anyway, he’d get hit with insider knowledge issues. RC could’ve said “listen, drop it with these guys. I sold, I said the company didn’t want my help, they very clearly are dismantled and those hodlers have nothing. You put a target on yourself from a crew of people who are fanatical and it gives them something to discuss when there’s nothing. Your attacks drive more engagement there way. I pay them no mind and don’t acknowledge them in anyway but still I get harassed and have to worry about my family’s safety since these guys have proven they’ll break laws to find out info about me. Just leave them the fuck alone and grow up. There’s no prize for dunking on the kid with broken legs, dick.”

Given it's supposedly "a private message to them" it could've been something like: "I've seen your tweets over the last years and you're a bit of a dick, maybe try being nicer to people." That would get the response we saw without sharing imo.

Why in the hell does RC engage with Pulte if he knows it’s only going to encourage the towel craziness. Responding to Pulte is a full on endorsement Pulte and all the butterfly speculations to these people. If he doesn’t like/agree with the product, why keep feeding into the delusion. I just don’t understand it.

This is my first and still only thought. Hardcore GME vigilantism isn't a good look for the company too. "Even though I don't intend to change my personal tweets..." Something something, trolling harassing and picking fights with other people is unhealthy or along those lines.

Oh listen, 95% of my investment is shares. Just bought and held. 5% is in options. But what’s fun is when that 5% goes on a tear and suddenly becomes 25%. Cause now I’m buying shares with the mm’s money

You don't even really need to know how to use it, but knowing what it does, what it can yield, and its risks is important in the work place. A lot of the time, in this metaphor, people seem unwilling to go past the "do not stop saw with hand or genitals" sticker.

This is what folks don’t get. The stock runs 25%. My calls for next week are up ~250% and they are already deep itm. Calls that were far otm yesterday for this week are up ~2200% and they are still otm. No one with a brain holds that to expiration, they sell it for the cash. And it’s not like this isn’t unexpected. I messaged Lyrad and Luma last night that the options report showed a massive increase in puts sold to mm yesterday. So why not yank some cash away from the mm and play in the casino with their money?

there's just so much volume for this to be something mundane like using volatility to fuck with options

11:21 AM

Oh hey, $17.50

I mean. Unpopular statement but. The other option is that volume really is that low, because inflation and cost of living means apes really have slowed buying and DRS that much. And it costs very little to offset them and wait to exit nowadays.

I find the idea that the MEME ETF being shut down has some people that used it to short GME and others scrambling for the exits

The issue I have with this is that there's less than 8k shares in the whole ETF

true

If you wanted shares, XRT is still the play

Morning thought before I go to work. Sub seems to be paying more attention to the effects of High Frequency Trading, but there is still a big knowledge gap (myself included). Would an AMA be helpful? Have we looked into this already?

That’s fine. Theres currently a highly upvoted speculative post saying they only traded one real share back and forth 60 million times yesterday. So assuming 23,400 seconds in a trading day and that single share traded 2,564 times per second. Perfectly reasonable

So, as a software engineer who's interviewed a few HFT companies, what do you think the upper limit is?

there's no chance in hell I can find it again, but I saw a link to twitter yesterday where some company with less than 2 million outstanding shares traded something like 40 million volume yesterday (edited)

5:18 AM

I'm not sure there is a limit

Rough_Willow

So, as a software engineer who's interviewed a few HFT companies, what do you think the upper limit is?

For computations per second, oh it’s in the millions. But it’s not as if orders come in by 1s all day. So how exactly are they trading 1 share that quick if the order is for 100? And if they didn’t have the 100 anyway, why bother trading it at all?

5:19 AM

But options volume matters a ton (edited)

So, the time tolerances they were working with were in the nanosecond range. I'd be interested in just how data is aggregated to see what would be HFT and what wasn't.

This is my first and still only thought. Hardcore GME vigilantism isn't a good look for the company too. "Even though I don't intend to change my personal tweets..." Something something, trolling harassing and picking fights with other people is unhealthy or along those lines.

Do many here play options on GME?

10:42 AM

Was thinking of making a "Trading Club" channel for those who do.

i sell puts regularly (generally for profit with a goal of not being assigned with my emergency cash fund that i want to be able to access if I ever have to since I would never sell any of my GME shares), occasionally sell covered calls against unwanted/unexpected put assignments, and every once in a while i'll buy a call

If I can't DRS it, it aint for me.

From time to time, I dabble in getting paid to place limit orders for GME that have no obligation to be filled. I can't say I'm sophisticated, but I would enjoy a channel like that.

fired up the trading channel for funsies

Ok. You have my attention. What did you fund?

The story about swap.avi is an old legend from the ancient days of the Internet circa 2005 or so. Some guy on somethingawful found a Brazilian website where you could basically order a custom porn vid That discovery turned into a crowd sourced project by a whole bunch of degenerates wondering just how depraved a thing would have to be for the script to be rejected. It was bad. To everyone's surprise the company was like, "No problem. $2,000" or something. Everyone figured it was a scam and you'd be throwing the cash away, but people decided to throw a few bucks here and there at it. It was mostly forgotten about until that guy got a burned CD ROM or DVD in the mail like 3 months later and it was worse than anyone could have imagined

Neither GME nor CS is under any obligation to DTC(C)

@dismal-jellyfish.eth left an insightful comment about the concerns from CS. What do you think doesn't add up?

If there was some sort of push by DTC, I don't think GameStop or CS have an obligation to act on what DTC wants. Not in DTC jurisdiction. Is it possible brokers have access? Maybe? I never read the broker side of the deal. Do they have my signature? Yes.

Not for nothing but didn’t Welp’s post today also have a pretty straightforward answer of 25% being the most you can report?

That makes DTC, GameStop & CS are in collusion.

TiberiusWoodwind

I’m also welp blocked

So this is kind of the same discussion @Rough_Willow and I had about whether or not GME gets their data direct from CS or if it’s told to them by DTCC.

3:44 PM

But Ein goes right to the assumption that it’s DTCC misreporting it

sandman11235

Einfachman always struck me as a pretty straight shooter.

As I said. There are parts that doesn't sit right. I am all for plan buys. But if ppl chise to buy via CS, I want it to be for the right reasons.

And what I can’t figure out is if CS gives data straight to GME. Because they’d know the number of shares registered

CS reports to GameStop. The whole Transfer Agent thing is set to separate shares from DTC(C).

Welp having an actual documented reason for why drs would not be reported past 25% is the best argument I’ve seen so far

There has to be an easier way to explain before going to speculation w/o enough input.

Chato35

There has to be an easier way to explain before going to speculation w/o enough input.

To that point, Ein is the same guy who believed amc was the real play before migrating to GME and then insisted bbby would ignite moass and also wrote a post on why 2022 was the year of moass. He doesn’t have a great track record with his research panning out (edited)

Did he make those claims on SStonk or elsewhere? I don’t remember reading that.

sandman11235

Did he make those claims on SStonk or elsewhere? I don’t remember reading that.

He wrote a post called “2022 year of moass” and another on why bbby was RC’s kill shot. The amc stuff was back in like 2021 but he had comments on that sub along the lines of “I think amc is the real play and the only reason I chat with GME folks is they occasionally have good ideas”

At least not the amc,bbby part. Too many have given a moass timeline and failed

Idk, he’s rubbed me the wrong way for a while because he’s consistently not right and his posts tend to just be a recap of other peoples posts

TiberiusWoodwind

Ok. I didn’t remember that

Or his critical margin theory. I called that one as wrong way early and got shit for it but then we popped over the “line” multiple times and no moass

All this to say, I haven’t read his post today very carefully but I’m biased towards the idea he’s likely not right based on his track record. (edited)

I must not be remembering correctly. I thought there was a critical margin component to TtR originally, but then you said you no longer considered that correct.

TiberiusWoodwind

To that point, Ein is the same guy who believed amc was the real play before migrating to GME and then insisted bbby would ignite moass and also wrote a post on why 2022 was the year of moass. He doesn’t have a great track record with his research panning out (edited)

Given the correlation between basket stocks (way back in the days of HomeDepotHank) the premise of some other basket stock impacting us isn't completely crazy.

I must not be remembering correctly. I thought there was a critical margin component to TtR originally, but then you said you no longer considered that correct.

Ok, own self reflection story time. Way back at the beginning, I suspected that my top line was a real line in the sand. Then critical margin comes out and folks start treating it like it’s gospel. And when folks really over hype something I begin to question it because I have this running belief that anytime something gets too popular on ss it likely means it’s wrong. Anywho I’m working on trying to figure out why it’s a line right, because why would it work like that when nothing moves in a line. I could understand a curve, wave, some type of irregular shape, but not a line. Ok so then another person writes a dd on how they’ve deduced the shorts margin requirement and they claim anything past the line would blow them up. Ein comments on it how great the post is. Well I’m a buzz kill and dig into the post only to discover that this mathematical proof op had done was really just an ass backwards method of determining a slope based on 2 points he chose. I couldn’t find evidence anywhere that his equation existed as a method of solving for margin requirement. And not for nothing but that post is still in like top 20 of upvoted ss DD’s despite its entirely bullshit. Then another dd pops up where op insists that Ken is pumping the entire market to keep GME below some line. They provide like 4 posts worth of charts as proof. Again, this was another math fuck up but this one deals with X/Y graphs where one asset is WAY more volatile than the other. Because GME has such enormous runs, any chart of (asset)/GME will just look like inverted GME because comparatively they hardly move. So again, multiple bad DD’s all trying to prove the same idea. And when I said nothing will happen when we cross these lines folks disbelieved til we did it twice.

And here’s the nutty bit. I’m not bad at math but I’m no engineer. Literally thousands of eyes on those posts and you think it’d be caught by people? Nope. The dude with 2 degrees in playing sax caught the bad math.

Ok. Thanks for the recap. I also have the popular likely wrong reflex, but it’s been with me long before GME.

Digging into the comments on Welps post. Seems like someone knows the legalese from experience and that GameStop is exempt from this rule.

TiberiusWoodwind

He wrote a post called “2022 year of moass” and another on why bbby was RC’s kill shot. The amc stuff was back in like 2021 but he had comments on that sub along the lines of “I think amc is the real play and the only reason I chat with GME folks is they occasionally have good ideas”

That might be edvinbarnaseck perhaps?

"And when folks really over hype something I begin to question it because I have this running belief that anytime something gets too popular on ss it likely means it’s wrong" This is the way I feel like (at least assuming the metrics are adequately representative of reality), that there is a collective tendency to let our guard down. When under the same assumptions that an adversary would have all the incentive to create confusion, false hope, and frustration while gaslighting people into thinking that everyone is just moving goalposts around. Details are important. And I appreciate you for being one of the ones who takes the time to dig into them.

TBH a lot of the reaction seems like "I don't like the result therefore I choose to attack it." Before, I saw a lot of heavy handed criticism around computershared.net's projections. That we should only trust what GameStop reports. Today, we are not supposed to trust the data straight out of GameStop? I get that tinfoil and fuckery is part of what makes GME attractive, but let's also bring to the fore other simpler possible explanations that could be the reason, or a combination of it. Other simple explanations:

Times are tough. Apes are mostly retail. DRSing over $1M worth of shares to move the 75.4 is difficult now because of real priorities.
Constant infighting/gatekeeping over a varied bunch of topics has stymied growth. Maybe we aren't onboarding new apes, or we are losing the interest of old ones. Maybe both. To qualify, I'm not discrediting the idea that the numbers could be fake/compromised. But I do think it's a slippery slope to be on that pushes the needle further into blackpill territory (not sure if I'm using this right @ProgVirus @Lairian -Flairy Type- ). As a discord mod I maintain (as is my nature anyway) a very centrist view across topics because I also believe that's how we can on-board the most apes under the no wrong way to ape rule.

1

It's certainly possible everyone forgot to DRS this quarter.

4:26 AM

Also, all it would take would be 100k, not a million to increase from 75.4M to 75.5M.

I think something seems fucky AND tinfoil is a slippery slope into an unverifiable wilderness. Hopefully the impulse to DO SOMETHING is just a greater urgency to DRS. I was raising hell during the HLT debate that turning off auto-purchasing was moving the DRS effort from a fixed expense in the ape budget to a discretionary one, and that in periods of difficulty discretionary gets cut first while fixed expenses are very sticky and prone to remain stable. Took a rash of shit.

5:17 AM

I know computershared.net has something like 200K registered accounts though

Depending on how the figures are reported, they could be rounding down or rounding to the nearest. So if they're rounding down, there's between 1 and 99999 shares that needed to be DRS in order to move the needle.

Lots of folks on the sub have an opinion about what RC should purchase first as CIO. So my pic is KO. If we want GME around in 100 years it makes sense to purchase stocks in companies that are likely never going away. I would say a drop of 20% from current price to the $46 range would be a good buy point. I’d expect this to happen 2024 sometime. Every portfolio requires a dividend workhorse. This would be my pick. I’m stating it here only for bragging rights among friends and not putting it out on the sub since we don’t discuss other tickers there. (edited)

Given the increase in popularity of drugs like Ozempic, I think snack and sugary drink companies won't be the best investment opportunity. Especially as airlines are pushing for greater coverage of Ozempic as it'll reduce the average weight of their American passangers.

Trim it to 165K accounts. There are zero balance accounts.

According to the people that saw the ledger in person there are also a ton of single share accounts

There was also a weird wave of BBBY kids who un-drsed their GME shares to buy more BBBY (i saw it on my twitter feed a few months ago)

On the spliydiv, he came into the sub , got educated on the matter. I member.

We have enough enemies. I’m of the mind we shouldn’t bite the hand of a helper. If DL starts acting like Pulte then I’ll change my mind. Dr. T is awesome but she’s a purist and most everyone falls short of her standards of excellence. Ivory tower living is not the way to form a coalition.

It took us a few months to start - refining our ideas, engaging with supporters, surveying the existing landscape, and starting to design a better platform for research, sharing and education. We decided to raise a round of crowd equity funding, and that consumed far more time and attention than a simple pre-seed round normally would have. Our round was an incredible success, ultimately raising about $1.25M from about 1,350 investors.

If people are dumb enough to upload pics of their position purposefully for a bot to track they can live with whatever else happens.

I'm kind of indifferent to it. If someone came into one of those giveaways with bad intentions to make a big enough ripple on collective privacy, they'd be spending a lot pretty quickly. Or getting exposed pretty quickly in the comments. At this point, I don't think the notion of $100 is suddenly going to compel someone to do something different than what they believe to be right after all this time.

But looking into this specific instance a little more, hypothetically at the same time, if the giftcard winner will anonymous every single time, that is in fact an exploit without adequate balance.

RC is not giving the mods the day off.

Apparently there's a book called "people love dead Jews" and target sells it?

Just to be clear, did you see it earlier? I came into this late, but couldn't find

Seems like it might be a misunderstanding, target not actually allowing malicious search engine optimization, just people probably intentionally boosting an actual product, but it's a horrible look and I really wish he had thought twice before posting

stonkyagraha

Can anyone vouch for witnessing on Twitter?

Tweetshift bot has a screenshot up in the discord. But yeah, it's not racist ai, it's the title of a book they stock which isn't much better.

Saw it.

Go to your phones notifications, it will still be there.

Thanks!

Getting reports the book is a condemnation and confrontation which is also better

1

Oh wow, cue the controversial comments that have started pouring in

12:10 PM

Trying to pick apart intent, sarcasm, etc

Yup. King Snake Jones has pulled up the book, and it's a collection of essays expressing frustration that the author can only get gigs writing about past-tense Jewish and not living ones. I don't see blame for stocking it, I don't see why the recommendations on auto completion wouldn't be positive to drive awareness.

12:12 PM

I'm guessing RC saw it, had our reaction, posted, clicked through, realized it's actually kind of a good thing, and deleted. But people only read the headlines so ...

I think it’s RC saying Merry Christmas we met our target, but with a dark sense of humor.

It's a pun for earnings is it not? He hit target metaphorically speaking and hit his target for earnings. iirc he kept chewy from profitability until the infrastructure was completed.

We got a number of yikes early in. I think end of day it was really one red pill thing that didn't make much sense, and a word salad I think I just don't iykyk enough to decipher. (edited)

So a thought had just occured to me. Perhaps some additional nuances are getting lost in the whole polarization from the book and plan thing. We all kind of know the willfully overlooked collective cost of "selling the dingleberries" . However, if one were to take the extreme reverse and say "automatic buys are the way", are there any weakness to that. Are the scheduled broker buys more susceptible to frontrunning? If so, why isn't that a focus of discussion more than the extremely speculative.

There is no weakness on either way. I can't go ahead and state " buy via CS" bc it will be organizing.

8:35 AM

Book kings are coming out in force today.

Fundamentalism is born out of fear and insecurity. No fundamentalist believes themselves a fundamentalist, but instead a pure version of something others aren’t grasping or working hard enough at.

8:52 AM

They confuse correct practice with myopia. Book Kings exemplify this.

The Book Kings are so singular in their focus, of course they are going to beat that drum as much as they can. They believe whole heartedly that they are right (and very well could be). The issue is that DRS is only a slice of the pie in what Superstonk is about. It is an important part of this saga, but aren’t the whole saga. They have places they can go and be as focused they want on this one issue, but Superstonk as a whole shouldn’t be as tunnel visioned. (edited)

8:54 AM

Putting ALL eggs in one basket or one idea isn’t the smartest idea imo. We have no idea how this is going to end. There could be Computershare fuckery, there could be options fuckery, there could be straight broker fuckery. Who knows.

CS buys are aggregated. The reason we see them typically get a worse fill price than the rest of the day is because all that volume forms lots that actually effect ticker price

The mod team made an impassioned plea with the drsyourgme group about a year ago about not pushing Mainstar as "the" way to DRS your IRA shares. The amount of modfud that came from that was unbelievable. And look what happened.

Yea outside of the obvious organizing issues calls to action are exceptionally problematic, because it forces people into a single box that can be predicted easier

People tend to forget that everyone is in GME for different reasons and want to acquire shares based on how they believe the market works. DRSing - The drsyourgme group wants everyone to book their shares only. They believe that this is the only way to keep the shares out of the DTCC since “operational efficiently” in many of their minds means 100% of your shares are vulnerable to fuckery. You see the push back on using reoccurring buys and not terminating them every month. Pros – they might be right Cons – it sets yet another barrier for entry and causes a lot of purity tests amongst the community Price discovery – With odd lots and internalization not having effect on the price, buying via IEX or being part of the Computershare autobuys has been shown to have effect on price. Many believe that in order to keep the bigger players from just having their way with the price at all times, there needs to be some positive pressure applied and these are 2 ways to do it (options being a third, but lol on trying to get that accepted). Pros – low barrier for entry, autobuys are very set-it-and-forget-it. Cons – Possible front running the CS buy. Issues buying solely via the IEX route because of lack of liquidity in their $GME stock. RC and RC tinfoil – People believe that RC is speaking directly to them. While this will never be proven (unless there’s a tell-all book post-moass), people are investing in how they believe he would want them to. Pros - …. No comment Cons – Also no comment

Yes but now I think they are beginning to think CS is corrupt

The irony considering we’re talking about the same crowd that forcibly pushed the idea of putting everything in a single place I wonder where this leads “You must be 100% in Computershare” → “You must be 100% in book” → ? Keep in mind, for over a whole year the whole game theory of selling being inconceivable being subtly undermined. “Oh it’s ok, those shares at your brokers aren’t real anyway” → “They’re only fractionals, selling them protects the rest of your investment” → ? Wut next?

Sell anything that isn't a lot of 100? Only buy in 100s was a thing for a bit.

The same crowd who thinks ss is trash, mods are sus, place is ded, Reddit is corrupt anyway and they should be on a decentralized platform….and still shows up to post and comment daily.

I am 99% sure that they're just here to siphon users to their lemmy and "donations"-OK space. I am also dealing with chronic pain making me a jerk so...

Lemmy? You mean the site that seems to be down weekly and they can never quite figure out why but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t? Clearly it just can’t handle the dozens of active users at once.

Really is incredible though. Earlier this week it was a bunch of cheering because of PB’s poll asking if ss mods were compromised. Well where are those 1200 votes? Not discord, not Lemmy. Nope, they come right back to ss. They’ve spent a year trying to tell as many people as possible about Lemmy and it got a couple dozen avg users. It’s a small handful of grumps that hate how ss doesn’t allow them to tell other people what to do with their investment. And they find it completely bewildering that anyone might disagree with them unless that person is a paid shill/corrupt/sus/bad actor. Oh, and either totally oblivious to their own self sabotage or just unwilling to admit to it. Imagine sitting with the same handful of people all day, repeating what each other says, and insisting the world is against them. What does that sound like?

8:52 PM

I think Plat has a way to get in touch. And I suggest we give the questions beforehand.

We've actually had calls directly with a contact at computershare and asked pages of questions, some of which they answer (eventually, after lawyers wordsmith it, probably) and some they don't. I can't recall exactly who on the team was on this particular call, but we actually brought up that RC's Twitter had the

stuff as one bit of the evidence for book. We have no way of knowing what happened next or if it was a coincidence entirely... But our contact laughed out loud and a few days later the tag was removed from RCs Twitter after having been there for some time. Pointless story aside, we've asked very pointed questions and received pretty watery responses.

We've asked a ton of questions and they've been updating their FAQs bc of our questions

They even made the FAQ searchable with Ctrl F rather than having the drop-down like they did before

Super routinely is wrong about everything. So knowing he is supportive of a DRSGME post does give me a bit of a chuckle, especially when it’s LetTheGMEBegin/bob’s reaction post to me telling him yesterday that assuming CS is being lied to by their broker is a bad method of making claims. Idk, I get a chuckle seeing two folks I assume are wrong interact with each other. (edited)

Probably worth trying to adhere to Rule 1 of Superstonk as much as we can when communicating here too.
