The saga of getting Notebookcheck's subreddit up and running: Bans, bans, followed by more bans

This, Wikipedia and.. Uhh..

Wikipedia is about as open as Reddit when it comes to submitting significant article edits and creating new articles. From my experience, at least.

I thought I tried to login yesterday and it just asked me to resend the activation link, but it seems to be working now.

having a reddit account for this site wld be a definite flex. maybe pursue a certified user account. then create the sub/reddit using the certified account as the administrator.

So I hear. Sometimes I hit up Encyclopedia Brittanica, although I find their articles usually seem significantly lacking in detail compared to Wikipedia. I recently found a site called Smart History where I gathered some valuable information on the city of Teotihuacan. I might peruse their selection of articles at some point. I find history rather fascinating myself.

The unfortunate thing about Wikipedia, of course, being that anyone can edit articles and I've read of instances where intentionally false information went unnoticed for many years.

Believe it or not, there was a Wikipedia page on my website very briefly. I published one of my games, Soul Survivor, on IndieDB and some guy contacted me asking if he could publish it under his budding publishing studio. I really wasn't sure exactly what he meant by this, but I said he could do whatever he wanted with it.

Apparently he took it upon himself to make a Wikipedia page for my website, as the developer of Soul Survivor, but it was taken down shortly after it was published with the reason that the guy who wrote it was too close to the proprietor of the website in question, mine. In fact, I had never met the guy. Couldn't even tell you his name.

Anyway, this is all obviously off-topic and I don't know how much casual conversation is permitted here. I haven't found that it's really permitted anywhere on the internet. Maybe Reddit :D

Hope y'all get this Reddit stuff worked out.

I thought that might be the case. Over at the EndeavourOS forums my account was put on hold until it could be reviewed by a forum administrator immediately after creating it, but it was never approved or maybe never reviewed, I dunno. Always seem to have trouble on forums.
