Stanley: Where's a person go to the bathroom around here?
Magnet: Pick a hole, any hole.
— Holes (2003)
arr-drama dot net has a tumultuous relationship with holes of all sorts: sometimes Carp ravages your holes arbitrarily, sometimes we debate whether gussy or bussy is the better hole. Today we bring you a welcome relief from those petty concerns: you can now be notified when people put things in your holes! Holes are now also more readily available for purchase.
This update adds a "Follow" button to the top of every hole, right above the "Block" button. If you click it, you will receive post notifications for new posts in that hole. You can, of course, later unfollow the hole whenever you please.
Additionally, holes cost 50 000 DC now and anyone can make one if you have the DC. However, they are deleted after 2 weeks of not getting new posts EDIT: One (1) week of not getting new posts. Two weeks went nowhere.
EDIT 22:20Z: /h/neoliberal has been purged for inactivity. Carp considered this very important to announce and was going to shit up your feed with another changelog. You're welcome for getting an edit instead.

Yea it’s kinda annoying that every feature of this site seems to tend towards jerking off the power users which is completely unnecessary because they are fully capable of doing that themselves without hilighting it
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Srs posting for a second I saw a few people in today's Carp post saying that this or that feature would make the newcomers just leave the site
What they don't realize is the that cabal of powerusers, imho, does much more to push people away, because how are you ever gonna compete with the powerusers circlejerk? It feels especially off when powerusers make posts asking other powerusers/jannies for their opinion because it sounds like the average user just doesn't matter for shit here. Doesn't help that usually the most upsoren comments under many threads are the powerusers circlejerk ones which aren't even funny in the slightest unless you are terminally online enough to understand this place's lore
Now, personally I think that leaving the site because of that is pathetic. Just post good enough shit to eventually be recognized and you'll become a poweruser too if you really care that much. But I also understand that lots of people here are severely mentally impaired and this whole circlejerk situation might just drive them off. Particularly when you think of how easy it is for the average poweruser to farm DC vs how hard it is for the average shithead using this site. Again, personally I don't care and even though I am a (sort of
) newstrag here I still understand that I am "new" here so it's normal I have to hustle if I want some recognizion and especially if I want to make lots of DCs. But I don't believe the average newstrag would understand this
Maybe I'm just r-slurred though and this whole wall of text was a huge waste of time
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Yep nothing better than posting good drama and some poweruser posts the exact same thing an hour later but has 100 pins to blow, or every top comment is just a race to who can put some meta shit first. I understand the "hustle", I managed to almost crack top 100 truescore starting off and still am a literally who. But I can definitely see how a new user or lurker would be like frick this place, most the time like 2 people see anything I write, the awards cost more than a normal person could reasonably afford, and everyone seems more interested in obscure meta drama
but enough serious posting, dude bussy lmao

to be honest the hole rollout was fricked up. you should have just tolerated low activity holes, instead now I have no interest in the stupid level of commitment it takes to purchase one much less the hysteric need to have at least one post a week in the hole. however weird y'all might have felt with inactive holes, deleting mine just made me give up.

I hope there won’t be a fish award equivalent for holes.
Also will the cost of hole creation be refunded if Carp deletes it one day?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Since we have automatic inactivity deletion, Carp shouldn't (lol) have a reason to do capricious deletion. If it really is
doing his thing, you'll get refunded. Most of the old schemes with time-limited refund windows and jannie hole abuse were because holes were too cheap and abundant originally. We're hoping this new system won't make those necessary.

Hole deletion doesn't delete the posts; it just boots them back to the masses of unholed posts. It's not quite the same as archival, but nothing important is getting deleted other than the hole itself.

I like /h/eevee
This was the compromise position to make new hole creation accessible at all. If you can do a single eevee shitpost on weeks with no OC, that'd be enough to keep it alive, and I hope you do so that the ribbon dog has a home.

I'll try to make one or two a week. I have plenty of cute eevee images, hardest part is making them "fun". Also coming up with a title.
Does the post needs to have any sort of "activity" (people commenting on it or a mininum requirement of votes) or just posting is enough to prevent the deletion? I remember the (((🐟))) talking about deleting holes with "low community engagement" or something like that
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Just needs a post. Zero comments, a hundred comments, zero votes, a hundred votes, doesn't matter. The (((🐟)))'s policy was for before we had this new automation to take care of it.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I'm completely r-slurred, and ignorant when it comes to programming or webdesign but how does this automated system work? Does it work like a timer or it's something else? Lets say I delete a post, or remove/kick a post from the hole. Does that post still prevents the deletion or does it need to be "present" in the hole itself for the whole week?
Also, this is probably not a good idea, since I assume this system was made to keep useless, inactive holes from taking up space. But is it possible to be notified when your hole is about to be deleted?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Algorithm, run once every 24hrs on a timer: Find all submissions posted in the past week in any hole. Make a list of which holes exactly they were posted in. Then find all holes that aren't on that list and delete them. We don't filter out deleted posts or anything. So if you kick a post out of the hole, it doesn't count as activity since it's no longer in the hole. But if you post to a hole and delete it, it's still technically in the hole and thus counts as activity.
That said, we're mostly designing for activity meaning having an undeleted post in the hole, so no guarantees that the precise details past that won't ever change. One undeleted shitpost every 6 days should be good forever.
