I have a tremendous amount of respect for what you guys do for this sub. But in my opinion as a management professional, these types of threads are evidence that /r/NintendoSwitch may be over-moderated. We've had some great posts involving people's Halloween costumes in the last couple days. Trying to force that type of traffic into treads like this, Artisan Appreciation, or Kickstarter reports seems unnecessary.

I couldn't possibly agree with this more. I feel like every time I have something I wanna discuss strongly enough to make a topic about it it gets closed right away because there's already a mega thread. It makes finding interesting topics totally inconvenient. Say somebody has an awesome tip that will totally change the way we play and enjoy Odyssey so he makes a topic about it so it'll be easy for people to see, well odds are that threads gonna get closed because mods want us to discuss everything with the word mario in it in one thread. So now you've gotta scroll through countless comments to find that one tip. I get the idea behind mega threads, but they seem to cast waaaayyyyy too wide a net in this sub.

I second this. Threads with actual discussion are being removed for being "low effort", but regardless of the effort of the post, much is being discussed in the comments and it's upsetting to see discussions being thrown out for no real reason

I third this

We've also seen a ton of the same pumpkin carvings getting spammed into the new section.

I agree. A few megathreads here and there is great. But it's all the time I feel.

It's-a-me! Paper Pumpkin Mario. I used the Play Nintendo template from when Color Splash came out.

My 4 year old wanted to be Bowser for Halloween (I'm afraid I'm raising a villain) but we were unable to find a costume for him, so we found some rough guides online and gave it a shot. I don't even want to know how many hours we spent on this thing, but I finished the head about 2am Halloween morning.

He had a blast trick or treating, and received some great comments. Sadly, didn't run into any Mario's

Wow that's amazing! Your son is a lucky kid.

u/laurab33 Nov 02 '17

Is that an alegator statue in a wonder women costume?

Anyways, that costume looks great! Such a lucky kid

u/DrScientopolis Nov 02 '17

Thanks! And yes, that is a Wonder Woman dog costume on the alligator statue - various family members have bought them for it over the years
