You can only post in the dunk tank if the subject of the post is a mega celebrity. Basically if Taylor Swift or Tom Cruise have a bad take you can post it there. Otherwise it's gotta be the dredge tank ~~unfortunately~~ fortunately.

honestly, it's better to only just post in dredge tank because rule 8 is arbitrary. if the mods for some reason don't think Tom Cruise is famous enough, they will remove the post. your Tom Cruise post won't get removed from dredge tank.

Bit Idea: Post everything in both, generate a list of names that get removed from Dunk Tank but not Dredge Tank, and use this to create a Celebrity Status Tier List

your Tom Cruise post won't get removed from dredge tank.

isn't that exactly what the OP screenshot shows?

[–] eight@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

the screenshot is the posts getting removed from gaming and then dunk tank, OP posted them to dredge tank just now for the trifecta

mods act like if they don't prune content for arbitrary reasons the site is gonna run out of data

Basically dont post this kind of stuff, its funny to see gamer brainworms first ten times, but we have all seen them already 200 million times and its just boring at this point. Before rule 8 was implemented every other post on c/the_dunk_tank was just a screenshot of the very common reactionary vermin that dot every comment section and it was just boring and unhealthly, so we implemented this arbitrary restriction to force greater variety of posts

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

greater variety of posts

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

you can block him and instantly get that greater variety of posts.

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was just musing maybe there needs to be c/the_elon_tank

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

oh gotcha. I don't bother with posts that are just showing me something to get mad at so I just block it all.

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

Yuri just wants to post for God's sake.

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

!dredge_tank@hexbear.net

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Had no idea this existed, explains why I stopped seeing dunk tank posts

[–] gaystyleJoker@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i removed the posts from games because they are not about games, they are pointing and laughing at the dumb things a gamer said. it's pretty simple

[–] HelltakerHomosexual@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

b but slop!

[–] GayTuckerCarlson@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

It's simple: You are banned from posting!

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago
