commrequest
Community and moderator requests and nominations for unmodded communities.
No bulk requests. That means one comm request per post. This is so we can sort out their interest individually.
Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.
This is my favorite new name suggestion by far.

This is good too
Locking these comms was a mistake, and trying to ban "low effort" posts will kill the site long term. We're a shitposting social media site descended from a shitposting subreddit. Shitposting is part of our culture--a big part. If you ban low-effort posts, you're not going to get more effort posts--you're just going to get fewer posts. A lot of people come here in part because they can post some essay or take by an esteemed Elder Statesman or Media Thinker and say "look at this dumb shit." Not only is that important to site culture and participation itself, lots of deeper engagement comes along with that activity.
Reopen dredge, and change the name of the other one.
The wording of the announcement has been changed several times. I don't think it specifically mentions low effort posting now but it wasn't very clear before it was edited and it isn't very clear now.
There hasn't been any real explanation of what the problem was that merited this change. Afaik only one Dunk tank mod commented on the reasoning and their comment was patronizing, unhelpful, and suggested more of a disconnect between the mod team and the users than an actual problem.
If that's not the reason, then I'm totally puzzled by what the argument even is. I'm all for changing the name, but if we're not worried about post quality, why exactly are we closing the comms?
Oooh can we suggest names? I've got one or two ideas

c/the_trough is a good one. I love the idea of having a place for all us hogs to get our slop.
Ooh yes!
How about intead of Dunk we use Slam? In baseball they have the same meaning and we get a little farther away from the racist meaning
But no one says "Get slammed on son" or "You got fucking slammed on!", if we're going with Slam it has to be Space Jam themed.
I said this in the other thread, but I'm in favor of point_and_laugh. Just a straightforward description of what the com is and what it's for.
we should call it pal, and have discussions about 50 hz transmission superiority
Insert Shaq clip of "Damn son! You just got baptized!"
I agree, dunk should probably be removed entirely. Kinda like the_slam_zone tbh
I'm not married to the name or anything
what if we call it c/www.yourethemannowdog.com and we just have that clip going in the background forever
c/posterized
I fully support this. The changes are weird and pointless and will lead to fragmentation.
So little followup about the reasoning for the removal and so on. Not trying to stir up a shitstorm, but I am personally still a little bit confused about the reasoning and so on. One of the users that were dismissive and hostile about the concerns of closing down the two coms, turned out to be a moderator of the dunk tank. I guess I should have thought to check beforehand, but I'm lazy like that. Anyway his comments in the thread and his attitude about the dunk tank and his vibe towards those that liked it gives me a bit of a better idea of what the whole line of thought was for shutting down the comms
Very cool to have someone mod a community they don't like, fantastic
I also like that the solution was to shut down the comm entirely rather than seeking new mods that actually like the content of the comm
I really don't get it
I honestly don't mind the dunk tank rename, we will rise again.
I will say I think the conceptual idea in separating dunk/dredge makes sense in terms of punching up vs sideways (i.e. posts from David Brooks vs ransoms from the Internet), but I also never minded the conflation so
Hey me neither, there's many good names
I fully support this but I am biased because I suggested the name in the other thread
Dunk Court is now in session
I suggest c/atharsis seeing as many people have made the very good argument that it’s good for their mental health to see other people bullying horrid status quo takes
c/loweffort_liberal_slopbucket
C/aristocrats
the_hog_roast - where reactionaries go to get cooked
or just any kind of riffing off of roast, since it's already used to mean the same thing as dunking but without the history
I feel like we're gonna rename that at some point again. Can't have hog roast anymore. Because of ~~woke~~ vegans
::: spoiler we love our vegan comrades!
Unify the slop sources under the banner of the dredge tank
I like how your suggestion reframes dunking in basketball terms
the people want c/slop
Okay a bit shorter list of names, trying to repost those in this thread and the other that I've seen get positive feedback^[By Positive feedback I mean either something got a lot of discussion or a good amount of upbears, which is completely arbitrary, but I tried not to be. I'd put points next to the thing, but since no thread is locked, there isn't really any way to make that definitive] + My own personal favourite

If the mods are gonna just direct people here. We're gonna request they fix their mistake. I don't know what the plan here was.
why not The_Skibidi_Toilet or The_Toilet, because all of the takes portrayed in it are shit
We need our fun little space to talk shit about reactionaries and bond over making fun of them. I like the Dunk Court and the Dunk Pit myself; I always thought the way we used dunking here had more to do with basketball so “the dunk tank” never clicked as the carnival game with its racist baggage in my mind. Mods stop being silly
throwing in my vote for "c/heckling"
