Hi all

If you've been a long-time subscriber you're probably well aware the subreddit isn't really what it used to be, and if you've joined in the last couple of years you're probably wondering why mods are posting.

We've seen a bit of chatter here and there about how things are and wanted to let people know we are still active, and why we have taken a back seat in terms of subreddit content. This subreddit used to be pretty discussion heavy and based around a strong community, with more active moderation designed to prevent things sliding into a generic MGS-flavoured meme subreddit. Whereas these days it's a generic MGS-flavoured meme subreddit.

Here's the reality in no particular order:

* There's nothing new to talk about.

Every topic has been done to death, and the only "news" is from c-grade rumour mongering websites and twitter accounts who gin up 'rumours' about remakes to take advantage of a fanbase desperate for news.

* The fanbase has been fractured

Any discussion about MGSV almost immediately descends into bickering about various theories and rumours about it's production.

* Stricter moderation works best (and really only works) with the consent of and on behalf of the community.

There's no point trying to fight a moderation war when the majority of submitters dont want discussion and do want image macros, it's an uphill battle and defeats the point of a subreddit in the first place.

So with all those things considered together, we've basically completely eased back on the "No low effort/repetitive content" rule which I'm sure you've noticed. We do try and trim the absolute bottom of the heap in terms of quality (faceapp memes etc) but mostly rely on reports for this and only do so where we can be confident we are being consistent.

This has resulted in a lot less of the heavier discussion posts (since it's harder to get visibility compared to a spongebob screen cap with s caption) so there's a bit of a feedback loop there.

Another thing that has happened (right around the time of the Oscar Isaac movie casting announcement) is that activity spiked upwards and we also had a huge uptick in posts removed by reddit as spam. We've stepped up our activity to try and make sure your posts get through. And yet you'd still be surprised by the number of people who message us and say "did my post get removed? it has no upvotes" and we have to politely explain that in fact it just didn't get any upvotes.

Anywho this is where we're sitting right now, just wanted to let everyone know and more importantly get your feedback. If actual news came out we'd come back to the community and rethink things, but right now:

are you getting what you need from an MGS subreddit?

It's my personal opinion that there's no point trying to force the community into something it doesn't want, and there's no point trying to recreate or preserve some vision of the golden days (if MGS has warned against anything it's that).

So please let us know in the comments here what you reckon. The subreddit right now is a reflection of what you've made, which is the way things should be, but mods have tools to help shape things in ways that a mass of people cannot, so that should be our job along with janitorial work. Right now we pretty much remove reddit rule-breaking stuff (sadly yes this includes links to emulation files) as well as enforce our policy on exclusionary language and behaviour, which is not up for debate.

I'm completely new to the MSG franchise and I've had MGS V in my library for a while so I thought it's time so pick it up. Any tips for a complete noob?
