#Notes:

• /u/jettasarebadmkay contributed 6 features this month: 2 as an intern, passing the internship, then 4 as a mod/writer! Everyone say congrats in the comments to the newest member of the SROTD crew!

• /r/Yiff [NSFW] received its third feature, somehow!

• I've classed the /r/ChatGPT feature as mod-written due to the overlong human-written introduction, but the post itself credits 'ChatGPT AI' as a guest-writer.

• The /r/Ultrakill feature by /u/KiIroywasHere is now the most upvoted feature of the year so far, and the first to crack 100+ upvotes.

• The /r/ChatGPT feature by me is now the least upvoted feature of the year so far, and the first to not hit 10 upvotes. Yay ❤️

#Notes:

• This is the month SROTD returned!

• The top 2 posts (/r/FoxholeGame and /r/GlobalOffensive) are pretty much tied for first.

• The congrats post ('Congratulations /r/SubredditoftheDay! you are Subreddit of the Day!') was the highest upvoted post on the subreddit this month, with 150 upvotes.

• While I have credited the /r/2sentence2horror feature to /u/ConalFisher, it’s actually credited in the post to “the creature”. Creature identity revealed as… conal guy 🪱

• Thanks to all the writers, interns, and subreddits who helped make this our first month since January 2021 to have a post every day. ❤️

Can we share this sub on r/subredditoftheday as I think it needs more members. Billy Connolly is a legend and we need to make this sub bigger to spread the comedy legend of the big yin

I just started a subreddit and I was wondering how I could nominate it because I want it to grow. I was thinking maybe r/tinysubredditoftheday but I dont know how to nominate it. If anyone knows please tell me

If someone wants to make a nomination for tiny reddit of the day for the day my sub hits the age limit for r/tinysubredditoftheday is it acceptable to submit it as a nomination the previous week or does it need to be closer? Is the age limit in fact for nominating and not being accepted? From memory the sub needs to be thirty days old when featured but I may have misread the rule so I thought I'd better get clarification.

I feel that all nominees for the tiny sub-reddit of the day should be featured somewhere on the r/tinysubredditoftheday for a day till the result is declared.

https://www.reddit.com/r/subredditoftheday/comments/7bty53/november_9th_2017_rlastuserwins_where_last_place/

November is over! Actually, it was over a week ago, but I am just getting to this report because it's the end of my semester.

Out of the 30 subreddits we featured last month, 21 of them were written by the community, and only nine by SROTD mods and staff. Here's the breakdown:

• Guest writers: 21
• Zadoc: 3
• HoldMyAWP: 2
• Yanky_Doodle_Dickwad: 1
• ShaneH7646: 1
• ConalFisher: 1
• _tomGER: 1

Top features of the month are:

1. (430) November 29th, 2017 - /r/ATBGE: When fine craftmanship and a lack of taste collide.
2. (430) November 27th, 2017 - /r/de: Reddit in German
3. (421) November 16th, 2017 - The official subreddit of EA! (Joke post, really directly links to /r/CrappyGames)
4. (319) November 10th, 2017 - /r/KnightsOfPineapple: Fighting For Pineapples on Pizza
5. (298) November 7th, 2017 - /r/WarThunder: You Have a Hole in you Left Wing!

Notably, the lowest feature of the month, and I am pretty sure the entire year, was /r/DebateAltRight, which came in at 0 upvotes.

We added two new mods who passed our intern program. They are /u/_tomGER and /u/withyouinspirit99. We expect great things from them.

On November 21st we made an announcement supporting net neutrality. It got over 19k upvotes, which really screwed the subs featured on the 21st and 22nd. They were /r/Shitstatistssay and /r/TranscribersOfReddit, which only got 51 and 32 upvotes, respectively. This is because they were unable to rise against and compete with a front page post of that magnitude. This is why we don't like doing announcements.

As of right now, the December calendar is full up until the 20th! So, this is your last chance to get your Christmasy sub nominations in!

#Welcome to the 2017 /r/SubredditOfTheDay BEST OF awards

We are asking you you to nominate a post in /r/SubredditOfTheDay

Best practices: Include the username, a link to the post, and a brief description.

The thread is in "contest mode" so votes won't be visible. But whichever nomination has the most upvotes will win.

The winner will receive 10 months of reddit gold courtesy of the admins. The runner up will get 5 months!

Note: Please do not nominate mods or staff writers.

You can participate in either of those threads, or in this one.

Got a sub you mod? We'd love to feature it, as we're experiencing a drought. Click here and fill out the form!

You guys seriously brought added traffic to rebranded nazism yesterday. Good job guys. Well fucking thought out.

Deciding against running a sub is difficult. We're all different people and are generally not fans of a lot of things, especially when politics comes into play. Generally, we'll run the feature even if we dislike the sub, just as long as the sub isn't at risk of a ban or a quarantine. Even then, we've gotten it wrong a few times.
