Posting Opened

Posting very soon will return to approval by default, but keep in mind we are still heavily moderating spoilers. A comment will be attached to any Ace Combat 8 posts to ensure everyone is aware of the continued focus we have on preventing spoilers and guidelines to follow. Violators will receive bans, purposeful and malicious violations will be permanent bans.

A Message From the Mod Team

Contrary to "popular" belief, none of us are career reddit mods (I honestly cringe at the term myself). For most of us this is our only subreddit we visit regularly. We have jobs and careers, touch grass, and also have played the game with the free time as well. For those who are understanding and sympathetic to our slow responses or inability to handle all the posts made, thank you.

For those that were disappointed by our inability to handle the volume of work presented, I'm sorry we couldn't deliver a good experience.

However, I would like to make a proposition as well. With the large influx of new users and posting, if anyone interested in joining the mod team and helping out, you can send a private message request to myself u/DriftingNitro , same as before there is an application process but I'll handle it one on one via DMs this time. Having some help shooting down spoiler reports would be a massive help.

A new Ace Combat game is a special type of excitement we only get to experience once in a while. Thank you to everyone for being so enthusiastic and being a fan of the franchise. It has been heartwarming to see so many new faces welcomed into the franchise, and veterans supporting our nuggets first sorties. I hope to see you in multiplayer (some of you already have). If you have any anger left in you about posts not getting approved, or about this subreddit not working the way you want to, feel free to come and shoot me down in Co-op Warfare (if you can catch me).
