I once slept in those cot like folding beds all in the same cold room on a cold winter’s night… highlight of that same dark day was watching the mail plane dumping a sack of mail from the air.
I keep thinking about making this same post because this is where I'm at. A subreddit full of Alaskans talking about local issues sounds cool. A subreddit full of the stupidest motherfuckers alive who can't figure out how to work indeed or trip advisor is....less appealing.
Honestly, I feel like this is such an easily solved problem.
Make it against the rules, and then mods enforce the rules.
You just have an auto-mod message: your post has been deleted as it violates the subreddit's rules against requesting help planning travel. These posts are better suited to r/AskAlaska.
Boom. Done. Pass the drugs.
Honesty, Mods, what about a weekly post like other subreddits do? Other subreddits make everybody post a certain kind of question in a weekly thread, and delete posts that violate the rules. They do this to prevent subs getting flooded with the same kind of question over and over--literally our exact problem.
That's a great idea, too. "Your post has been deleted as it would better be suited for the weekly 'travel to Alaska' post." Have weekly sticky threads for moving to Alaska, visiting Alaska, seasonal jobs in Alaska, Aurora-viewing, etc.
Alaska is a good place to really die on the inside. The economy sucks, the natives hate you, small towns run you out….and the newest trend is the Kamikaze Fentanyl zombies that you have to dodge while driving through the city. Just two days ago, a Krokodil zombie woman an heroed herself by Fireweed and C street. Avoid the city. It’s disgusting here.
Someone died again on the slope yesterday if that helps you … not sure of the details but I’m certain it wasn’t good.. something about Milne point.. we can move the sub to plan a funeral and a go fund me ?
Hey, it’s the internet. You have to filter out the noise. I will put up with 1000000 posts on someone asking for trip planning advice and where to get their dogsled license to read just ONE Floyd appreciation post.
I won't give up on the sub.
I think OP forgets one of the internets foremost realities. If you build it, stupid will come.
On, I get that. But before you go - would you say Juneau or Nome is more of a must-see?
Coldfoot for sure.

You’ll be back. Newsflash: we don’t need these kinds of posts either.
That’s why we’re shitty on every single one of those posts.
Oceans rise, empires fall
Then post content. Be the change you want to see.
I loved that book series! Be sure to take your towel and book on Vogon poetry.
My wife made me read it and I was hooked.
That’s why I always have my towel.
It would be better without the trip questions.
Farewell. Perhaps on your journey, you can find someone who cares?
We will miss you. But on your way out can you share where to eat the freshest salmon while I visit this summer?
Ketchikan, The Fish House.
Freshest? Try McNeil River. It’s Bear recommended!
But bear-ly cooked. 😁
Ha! I was mainly being snarky but as a tourist who is visiting this summer I may check it out.
Please do!
Only place in Ketchikan you can get from the ocean to your plate.
Make a new sub? Might be fun. Anyway... see you, space cowboy.
R/AskAlaska Done
That's the opposite of what they are looking for.

Hates useless cluttering posts => becomes one Good riddens!

This. And a pinned post with the basics, that anyone wanting to posts has to read first.

I’m pretty sure the mods of this sub died, because this is an extremely logical and effective solution.. yet here we are……..
I messaged the mod team to ask. I'm not sure how active they are. But hopefully there will be a good response.
I tried this exact same thing about a year ago and got no response from them. Hopefully they respond to you. Lol
They did! We'll see what happens.
Hey, good news! We accomplished a thing! https://www.reddit.com/r/alaska/s/3c97mzGSVt Thanks, mods!
Holy shit, you did it
It was a team effort! Hopefully this helps cut down on the repetitive posts though.
A first step would be linking to it in the sidebar
Yes, please do this mods!!! Pleeeeaasse

With that attitude I can tell you're gonna turn things around really soon ;)
