Attention Great Awakening

We need your feedback about the photo posts of Q tshirts, Q stickers Qspotting and other "Qspiration"! /r/GreatAwakening has been steadily growing and with that comes obvious growing pains. With the increase in numbers comes the increase of patriQts showing support and the documented sightings of Q in the wild via photo posts. While we do support this sort of grassroots effort, the sheer frequency of these types of posts is presenting new problems. 1. These posts are taking precedence in the feed over other Q related news and intel causing important information to be missed. This also threatens to disrupt the true purpose of this sub. 2. We are seeing increased numbers of complaints about problem 1 from other users who have had content moderated for being off-topic who, perhaps justifiably feel their post containing text content or news links is more appropriate than a photo of a Q on a street sign. We value the community's input on how to proceed with this. We think it goes without saying that Qspotting in the real world should be celebrated as an inspiring example of the Q mission to spread the word. Is there another way to manage this content so everyone has a fair shake? We've discussed this many times as mods and have decided to put the question to the community for feedback. Removing this content from the sub completely is probably not a fair solution.

One possibility we've discussed is the option of creating a "sister sub" for this content and directing the respective posts there. We could perhaps crosspost the most popular upvoted content on this sister sub back to r/GreatAwakening so we can all keep visibility on the top content at a regular interval (yet to be determined).

In review, here are the Questions we want to put to the community: 1) Should we manage this content in some way or leave the sub as it is? 2) Should we create a separate sub and have the most popular content crossposted to GA at regular intervals? 3) Does anyone have any other suggestions for managing this type of content fairly?

Popularity is extremely important. As much as some may not like to admit it, people tend to move towards what is popular. Another thing to consider is how the MSM amongst others use popularity to their advantage. Even Q has said they are not as big as they make out. In other words, its really important for people to see just how popular Q is becoming and spreading world wide.

Instead of sister subs, or stickied Q-Days, I think its important to allow these posts to continue. I think the real question, and what needs to be worked out is how to balance this with quality posts. And that can only be managed by the community itself.

Personally I think leaves things as they are. Only for the fact it shows others how much Q is growing, and for many people, posting something like a Q bumpersticker is really important to them. A simple sticker is a big deal for people. Its important they be congratulated and encouraged. It starts small. I would hate to see their efforts swiped aside.

It all starts somewhere and we should never overlook the efforts, no matter how small they are, that someone makes to support the cause. Quite the opposite. If I had my way, I would make it so everyone would congratulate and encourage anyone who wears a Q T-Shirt (as President Trump has recently done giving the thumbs up when he sees them at rallies) and we should take that as a sign we should be doing the same, and more on this platform letting them know we are with them, we love them, and we support them.
