12th Of July Week Megathread

A very good morning.

As of the time of posting, all future 11th/12th/marching/bonfire/related content must be posted in this thread, which will run from 08/07 to 15/07.

There is one major difference to last year: the most actionable piece of feedback we received was that there were 1-2 news stories which, despite being 12th related or adjacent, were significant enough to deserve exemption from megathread-jail.

This year, if we remove a news story that you think has wider scope than slabbering about the 12th, and shouldn't be banished to the megathread, you can send in a modmail and the mod team will make a subjective call on an exemption.

One post per exempted topic per day will be allowed, we don't need 10 news articles all saying the same thing. The per-day limit is there to allow updates to the story and stop it being "forced" off the front page via age. Naturally these posts need to be in the correct format.

As we're allowing significant news stories to be posted outside the m e g a t h r e a d this year, we are not going to allow any content that was confined to the MEGATHREAD to be re-posted after it ends. Any news or slabber that takes place on or after the 16th is fair game.

Otherwise?!
Complaining? This thread.
Enjoying? This thread.
Meming? This thread.
LARPing, as Byson or otherwise? This. Thread.

Please feel free to complain about our decision… in this thread!

Much love and a happy 12th/Donegal escape week to you all,

• Mod Team.
