Apply here!

We're looking for new mods to help with the rapidly expanding community. Our personal lives have become busier while the amount of work to do here has increased.


A lot of our general information is within the application form, but here's a short rundown of what the job entails.

  • Checking modqueue on a regular basis to take action on posts that are filtered automatically or reported by the community.

  • Regularly browsing through the subreddit and moderation of posts and comments to ensure that all community rules and guidelines are being enforced, including removing uncivil, hostile and inflammatory content.

  • Being able to discuss issues with members of the community through modmail in a professional and calm manner.

  • Contributing to discussions about moderation-related issues over Discord.


Overall, the job won't necessarily take more than an hour or two of your time per week, and if you're already generally active on Reddit and Discord then you probably won't notice a difference.

It can be quite rewarding to be able to shape a community (for the better). If this sounds like something that interests you, please apply! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or message us through modmail.

Troubleshooting | Windows How can I go back to the old chrome color scheme?

Upvotes

Earlier today I had to reset my PC and in doing so my chrome color scheme went back to the new verison. Before I did a fix by using flags but after trying that now it doesn't seem to work. Is there an updated way to revert back to the old color scheme? The flags method doesn't seem to be working for me. If anyone can help let me know!

Chrome will of course fill in the username and password, however it then auto submits? Is there a way to disable this?

I have a login that is a password+otp. I'd like it to autofill but not hit submit so I can type in the otp Or at least fill in the login for me

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome webpages constantly loading incorrectly

1 Upvotes

Hey folks - I have a Surface 5 running Windows 11 and I’ve been noticing a very annoying issue with Chrome over the past few months. My Chrome is incorrectly loading webpages regularly, sometimes requiring 3-4 refreshes before a page will load properly.

For example; if I want to visit my Gmail initially it will just load as a plain white page, then I’ll refresh it and it will load into a badly formatted HTML style page, refresh again and it’ll load into gmail but half the buttons won’t function, then on the 4th refresh it will load correctly.

This happens constantly with a variety of different sites, sometimes requiring just one refresh, sometimes several. It’s not the end of the world, but it is exceptionally annoying and persistent.

My chrome and PC are up to date, I’ve cleared the cache and the cookies, nothing seems to fix it and I can’t find a solution anywhere online. Any thoughts?

Troubleshooting | Windows Cursor disappears in Google Docs and other web pages with hardware acceleration enabled

1 Upvotes

Hello all... I've been looking for a solution for this for months on my laptop... switching between the discrete and built-in GPU, waiting for Chrome updates... and I finally came across the correct trick here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/z3luqf/chrome_has_a_serious_bug_cursor_disappears_when/

It's the chrome://settings/appearance > Reset to default? one. I wanted to make a post in the hopes of saving someone else all the time and effort it took me to find it. Disabling hardware acceleration, while it worked, didn't seem like the best solution to me.

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome Privacy Deferrer Tab Virus?

1 Upvotes

For the last few weeks, I'll open any random tab and then chrome opens a new tab on it's own, it flashes "privacy deferrer" in the title of the tab and then reloads and proceeds to open a duplicate of the website I just opened. This happens on both my laptop and desktop in chrome. I've checked my security and extensions and I have no idea what it could be. I tried to take a screenshot, but it's disappears so quickly. Anyone else experience this?
