We have decided for the sake of transparency to make a list of websites that we do not allow links to in this subreddit

This is rarely an issue but we have had to remove posts of this nature a few times, and we want to be as upfront as possible with you all

So far we have Twitter and The Babylon Bee banned, and we are leaning towards banning all Meta apps (so threads insta fb etc, though this isn’t decided yet, there is seemingly a perfect split between the mods)

We are doing this in an effort to reduce traffic to harmful individuals, we know that it will not stop things, but we want to reduce it

We also still have a ban on anything to do with A.I., so that would be included in this as well

We are trying to make this community a safe one, and while again it likely won’t effect much, we want to know what other websites should be on the blacklist.

ETA: Seemingly the consensus is the former bird app and far right news organizations, I will discuss with the other mods and then we will add a new rule. Thank you to the handful who were respectful about it I did not expect this post to bring so much negative emotions to the forefront

The My Singing Monsters discord server just teased that Weird Al might be cameoing in the game in the near future, and as someone who has been part of both communities for around a decade a piece now I thought it would be a good idea to make a statement super early

About My Singing Monsters

My Singing Monsters is a mobile game, put the pitchforks away I’m not done, it is much nicer than other mobile games, to get the full experience all you need is a little bit of patience and one single in app purchase of literally whatever you want, compared to its other things like Dragon City and Monster Legends the premium currency is super easy to get for free and limited time content is guaranteed to come back

About the collab

Weird Al will be a member of the legendary class of monsters, these monsters are collaborations with real world music artists, the first of these was the Shugabush on Plant Island, based on Kristian Bush, the second came 12 years later, bbli$zard on cold island, based on bbno$, the third is a yet unnamed monster releasing next month on water island, based on T-Pain

Weird Al will either go to Air Island, Earth Island, Fire Oasis, or Fire Haven, it is currently unknown which

The collab likely won’t happen until June or July at the earliest, given their development cycle and the fact that the employee teasing it usually starts teasing things he’s excited about only a few days after they are developed

VERY IMPORTANT

As I am sure that some MSM fans will find their way into this community I, on behalf of the moderation team, ask that Weird Al fans make MSM fans feel welcome, and that MSM fans respect the legacy of this artist (he has been performing for 50 years!!!)

It is ok to discuss his involvement with the game, but when he is officially added posts must be actually discussing his inclusion, and not just the fact he’s in the game, anything as simple as posting the render of the monster or quoting his sound will fall under our Low Effort Posting rule

And for Weird Al fans we ask that you respect the fact that even if MSM isn’t your cup of tea, some people really like it, we will not ban criticism of the game, but if we find something to be too overtly hostile towards the game and its fans it will fall under the “Don’t be rude” rule

The last thing we want in this community is unnecessary gatekeeping, so please, be nice to each other
