1. “I hate subs”. Cool story, bro. I think they’re okay for a lunch, but I’m more partial to a hamburger myself.
   
2. “The CV/Subs are bad posts should be considered as low effort posts. They're mostly just for karma farming” . Personally I agree. I strike down a LOT of these posts for the low effort rule, but I’ll try to be around more to catch as many as possible. There were at least 20 comments that had a similar sentiment.
   
3. We had a lot of people who suggested pinned sticky threads for all kinds of things. I highlighted over that in the last mod post about the survey, but here’s the TL;DR.... It can’t be done with Reddit’s functionality. It’s rare that we have a free sticky spot to give to something. Reddit only gives Subreddits two, because they’re too busy trying to kill off third party apps instead of QoL improvements.
   
4. "Wasn't too pleased that a thread about the Haida auction was removed for the lamest of reasons. Smacked of WG shilling - the discussion was on point about the cost. Mod that was responsible for that should be removed.” You were addressed in modmail, but I did some digging. This was an incident that happened a few months ago (You can go through patchnotes if you really care, I guess). Anyways....your post was removed for being a duplicate. There was indeed another post about the auction... which was removed by a different moderator at roughly the same time. It’s called human error, and it happens sometimes. We’re not machines, we’re just humans. I know that amongst the mod team, we have two EMTs, a farm equipment dealer employee, an IT guy, a volunteer aboard a real life warship museum, and a PR guy for a large company. Those are the ones that I know- I’m sure there are TONS of other cool mod jobs that I don’t. The point is that we’re humans. We all have jobs to put food on our tables. We do this, because we love the community and the game. We’re not going to be as perfect as a salaried person would be, but that’s also why this place is as great as it is. Please be patient with us, and don’t fill our modmail with shouting when stuff like this happens. No moderator will be removed over this issue.
   
5. We did have one user who accused us of being paid shills for Wargaming, because there’s always that one person. I just want to know where the heck my checks are then. Come on Wargaming, I’ve been here for like 5 years. How long do you need to mail a darned check? I could use a new set of tires for my Saab, so hurry it up, will ya? :P
   
6. "Still waiting for you to add those other flag flairs, Tsukiumi-Chan :P”. Please resend the requested flags. I’m sorry, I’ve lost that list a long time ago. I can add flairs, it’s not a problem. I just can’t remember what I needed to make”
   
7. "Tsukiumi-Chan best mod. Ducky_shot worst mod. I don't make the rules.”. Sorry, Ducky_Shot. The people have spoken. I’m number one! Heck yeah! You're like a John Deere and I'm like a Massey-Ferguson up in this joint. I'm just better.
   
8. “The subreddit is fun, a nice place to go when I don’t have time for a game but want to still feel “in it”.” I agree, and I think a LOT of the people here would too. I don’t have a lot of time to play the game anymore- I’m basically a full time workaholic. But, it’s cool to watch someone nail a double strike, or see what changes are coming to the game. It’s a way to be involved and enjoy the game, without having to click a battle button.
   
9. "Have you a moment of time to talk about our lord and saviour tiger 59?” Nope, I do not. Thanks for asking, though.
   
10. "Tsukiumi-Chan deserves a Fujin review, for the memes.”. Thank you, and I agree. After 3,500 battles in it, a review would be nice. But, maybe the friends we made and the torpedoes we launched were the meme all along. Or something like that. I don’t do catchy sayings very well. I just torp things.
    
11. "Thanks for the effort in keeping this community alive. The game may have gone down the shitter since release, but the subreddit has always been a great place for info, guidance, and inspiration to keep playing the game.” We’re glad to be here for you all! There are times that the game and the Subreddit can be trying to our patience, but we’re glad to be here. I remember when I first downloaded WoWS, back after it just left Beta. It’s been a lot of fun along the way, and I hope it will continue to be, for many years to come!
    
12. "The constant, CVs suck, subs ruin the game posts that show up 5 times a week, or more, are getting really, really tiresome. Make a day where everyone can focus on posting why they hate class/ship X,Y,Z and ban such posts for the rest of the week. Call it "moaning Monday, "whining Wednesday" or "frustrated Friday" or something like this." . A weekly thread to complain may not be a bad idea, actually. I’d be interested in seeing what you guys think about the idea. We may have to try that out. You see, stuff like this is why we do these surveys. Oftentimes, you guys come up with ideas that we just wouldn’t even think of
    
13. “Ducky is a lightweight”. I know. Why do you think I was voted best mod by that other guy?
    
14. "NERF SUPERSHIPS, MATCHMAKING +1, -1. DO SOMETHING FOR TIER 1-4, ALLOW THEM TO COMPLETE THE DAILY MISSIONS(BATTLEPASS ETC.)". Like half the responses were stuff like this. I just want to remind everyone again that this is NOT a survey for Wargaming. There’s nothing we can do about in-game stuff. I can nerf superships by playing my Satsuma really badly if you’d like, I guess.
    
15. "What happened to the original sub description? Go back to the one about never having submarines.”. We talked about this for awhile. We felt that it breeds toxicity. Imagine if you’re a casual player who likes playing submarines. Would you want to interact with a place that said that in the description? You don't have to like subs, or carriers, or the color blue as a ship camouflage. But, you need to realize that sub and CV players are people too. They deserve the same respect that anyone else does.
    
16. "Need to have a weekly sticky for advice/general chat. Possibly rotating daily themed stickies like a bragging one to talk about your awesome achievements over the week, or an Ops thread.".Ignoring what I said about stickies earlier, I would like to see more themed threads, personally. I haven’t asked the other moderators about it. The problem is that they take time to make, and we just frankly don’t have the manpower to do it reliably. I can program AutoModerator to do them, but that feels a bit too cold and impersonal to me. Your thoughts? We have tried all kinds of things over the years. Basically: If there’s work involved, it never gets done. I used to help write “Ship of the week reviews”. That worked great until I ran out of ships I knew enough about to spotlight. We tried a video replay of the week feature.... which led to people whining about the ship choice, or the YouTuber who uploaded it, or other things like that. We just couldn’t make everyone happy. We’ve tried working with content creators directly, and many of them would stop submitting after awhile. Basically, if there’s work involved, we will need help. Especially going into fall. I run a custom baling business with my father, so all summer and fall, I pretty much live in the cab of my tractor. I can’t write Reddit posts reliably when I’m doing all that. I wish I could be here more.
    
17. "Overall I think the sub is doing a lot better than for instance the /worldoftanks sub, so the moderation is IMO doing a good job. The overall mood is going to be negative at times because the game is heading in a direction a lot of people don't like, and I don't think that should be censored (and I don't think it is, I'm just saying we shouldn't start). It appears that this subreddit is one of the few places where WG employees can actually get some feedback occasionally and our voices should be heard." . There were about a dozen comments like this. I don’t really have a way to respond to this, but I felt it should be shared.
    
18. We had one person who asked what happened to all the Depeche Mode references I put in the modposts. This is a bit of a silly question, but it’s a good one to end on. We haven’t done that for years. It’s a good reminder that while we may grow and expand, a lot of us have been here for the long haul. That shows how much we care about the game. The moments we’ve cried, laughed, and raged against HE slinging Kurfursts. This is a game after all. Have fun with it! As for your question, don’t worry. We’ll work in more DM references. As for when? It’s just a question of time. What? You can’t be too surprised that I worked one in there. There’s always room for one or two. You can’t overdo it though. You have to get the balance right.
    

WASHINGTON - Sen. Elizabeth Warren is launching a fresh round of questioning on states' limits to abortion rights as a battle on medication abortion hangs in the balance at a federal court.
Warren and three other Democratic senators sent letters late last week to five major health care worker and pharmacy groups interrogating how last year's U.S. Supreme Court decision reversing national abortion rights has affected health care access and providers' treatment of patients.
Warren does not chair a committee in charge of health care policy, but Democrats on the Senate HELP and Finance committees have echoed her concern about access to the abortion pill mifepristone and restrictive abortion policies.
"As we approach one year since this radical Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, we must confront the devastating effects that state abortion bans and worsening restrictions are having on women across the country, as well as new threats to medication abortion that are contributing to harmful misinformation about the drug's safety and availability," Warren said in a statement to STAT. Besides access to mifepristone - which is in limbo with a Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals case - Warren asked about confusion over the slightly less effective abortion drug misoprostol.
Some patients and doctors have reported difficulty accessing the FDA-approved drug amid nationwide confusion over the legality of abortion medication.
Major pharmacy chains Walgreens, Rite Aid, and CVS signaled they would register to dole out the drugs, but Walgreens was soon caught in controversy over its decision not to register in 21 states, including four where abortion remains legal.
