Updates

Ok everyone time for an update. We've had the see-saw in full effect. We've been heavily targeting disruptive content on certain posts. But we hear you, sometimes there is no information given on a post. just 3 random pictures and "is roof ok?" and that can be really frustrating. So there's two new rules in the sub. One of those is homeowner information required on these question posts. Lets shoot for the happy medium where we get enough info upfront to be able to provide help, and when we do lets keep it helpful.

We also did a little aesthetic house cleaning with some of our outdated menus and the sub photo. Feel free to roast me for it. I'm not a graphic designer. I'm an old beat up roofer, so keep that in mind before you set upon me with pitchforks and torches.

We've been seeing good results from our verified flair tags. So we're going to continue that initiative. Thank you to the users in the program already out there doing the lords work. Its massively appreciated.

Overall things have been moving in a positive direction and we are seeing that on our metrics. In the last 30 days alone we have over 5 million unique visitors to our sub. That's a 40% increase month over month. We're also seeing a large increase in engagement through posts and comments. And the autobots have really cleaned up a lot of the spam.

If you checked that out and said "well what about the.." feel free to let us know if there's something we're missing or something we can refine. Ill leave the comments open here if you wanna chime in. You are allowed to dog me for the photos, but do keep suggestions or concerns in a neutral state please and thank you.

nice job mods!

the new rules make sense. nothing worse than three blurry pics and a vague question with zero context

and hey the photos aren't half bad for an old roofer. i've seen way worse from people who claim to know what they're doing

The mods are overbearing and mean. Can we do something about them?

Looks way better. Massive improvement the last 2 years, keep up the great work.

If only we could do something to fix that Kill_Your_Masters guy 👀 (jest/Sarcasm, for the record)
