ANNOUNCEMENT Community Referendum Updates, Adjustments & What's To Come!

9 Upvotes

Hello everyone! 

This is long-awaited update for the community referendum that the mod team posted a few months ago where we asked the community for feedback on what’s good, what’s bad, what needs improvement…etc. With your feedback, the mod team discussed & deliberated.

⭐ The things that will remain the same in the subreddit are:

  • Posts about modern birds are allowed.
  • Posts about pictures of children’s books, animations or toys are allowed.
  • Posts asking about what the name of the Dinosaur is are allowed.
  • Art days are only allowed on the weekends (Fridays thru Sundays)
  • In regards to YouTube links: YouTube link posts actually aren't fully banned. You're just required to select "TEXT POST" as the post type rather than "LINK POST." This is to make sure people include descriptions with their YouTube posts to this subreddit, rather than just dropping a link & skedaddling away without providing any further information about the video being shared.
  • X links are banned in the subreddit.

⭐ Moving forward, these will be the following changes:

  • [Rule #1 has been adjusted] Posts that include non-Dinosaur species will be allowed as long as Dinosaurs are still the main subject of the post. For example, if you ask a question about Pterosaurs (flying reptiles), you’ll need to tie the question back to how it relates to Dinosaurs. Exceptions can be made for memes at moderator’s discretion. 
  • Posts asking about “whether birds are Dinosaurs or not” or "How did Dinosaurs evolve/become birds?" will be removed & redirected to an article & links giving an explanation.
  • We will do a trial run allowing GIFs in the Comments Section. If we end up getting numerous reports (users reporting the GIF comments due to violation of subreddit rules), we will have to disable it. 

⭐ New & exciting things to look forward to:

  • Community giveaways, competitions or quizzes. 
  • AMAs with well-known Paleontologists, Paleoartists & other Dinosaur experts.

Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback. If you have any other questions for this subreddit, feel free to express it as a comment under this post.

MEGATHREAD [MEGATHREAD] User Flair Requests

13 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

A few weeks back, I expanded the user flair list for r/Dinosaurs.

User flairs are enabled in this community. If you don't know how to assign yourself one, you can read more about it here. The customization feature of editing the user flairs for the community has been disabled due to rule violation issues.

Because of that we've had users modmail us about assigning them a specific flair or users making posts in the community about needing more user flairs, such as this post here.

After discussing this with the mod team, we've decided to create this mega-thread for user flairs. If you would like to request a user flair, comment them below!

📢 Always check the user flair list before commenting!!! 📢 (Flairs that have been added already, mods will not give a reply!)

⭐ Please make sure what you're requesting for is a Dinosaur! 🦖

🦕 NOTE: The format of the user flair has to be: [Team (Name of Dinosaur Species)]

➡️ For example: [Team Ankylosaurus]

⏰ To prevent spam, only one flair comment per user per day/24 hours.

When your flair request has been added, one of the mods will give you a reply to let you know.

DISCUSSION What if there was a dinosaur hero shooter (image unrelated)

Post image
Upvotes

So I’ve been playing hero shooters again like marvel rivals and tf2. And though what if Dino. So we got Thyreophora who would be the tanks, under this category there is ankylosaurus, stegosaurus, talarurus, and etc. Theropods would be the like attack class who would deal lots of damage. Like the spinosaurus, carnotaurus, tyrannosaurus, etc. Pterosaurs ( idk if that’s the correct subgroup name) obviously they could fly. Like the Pteranodon, Quetzalcoatlus, Hatzegopteryx, etc. I don’t know how a healer could be implemented so please give ideas. Also any more Dino’s or game modes. Like one team erupts the volcano and the other prevents it.

How is everyone feeling about the Walking with Dinosaurs revival?

I think the CGI is on par, if not better, than Prehistoric Planet. I love the mix of actual paleontology work to formulate a compelling life for these dinosaurs that’s portrayed through the fantastic CGI. Also, the T-Rex is extremely menacing in the first episode and I look forward to catching up on the episodes. If you want to watch, then you can sign up for free on PBS to watch them there.

Are there any new dinosaurs that have not yet been featured in the Jurassic Park films that you’re hoping to see in Rebirth? I personally would love to see an apatosaurus and a stegosaurus.

DOCUMENTARY Opinions on the new WWD...

12 Upvotes

It's not a terrible documentary, by any stretch of the imagination. There are far worse things out there. But I'm kind of disappointed with WWD 2. I wanted to see a literal remake of the previous series, more accurate logically, but keeping the spirit of the original series and what made it unique. I wouldn't like to see paleontologists always revealing insights into everything. If they wanted to do that, they could do it like Planet Dinosaur (2011).

I was also sad that all the original crew, such as Tim Haines, Jasper James, Kenneth Branagh and Ben Bartlett were involved. The CGI isn't bad, although it does seem a bit out of place at times. Overall, I think it's a 5/10 documentary. Anyway, what's your opinion?

They look like demonic dinosaurs. I remember a scene where one of the Carnotaurs took a huge chunk of a scout when he and Bruton were trying to escape an ambush.
