REMINDER: CCIP-033 is active and has recently been updated.

CCIP-033 allows authors to require higher standards to participate in their threads. Since it passed two months ago, it hasn't been used very much. Therefore, I thought the community could use a reminder. All authors have to do is insert a key word in their submission, and the AutoModerator will enforce a special set of rules in the comment section.

I also want to announce that CCIP-033 has been updated. Small adjustments were made to the original rules and optional rules were added. Below is a list of the changes made:

• Serious submissions will be assigned link-flair called “SERIOUS”, so readers know what to expect when they spot them in their home feed.
• Tags or commands will be inserted in the main text of the submission instead of the title.
• The new commands are [SERIOUS - LEVEL 1] and [SERIOUS - LEVEL 2].
• Each command will pin a separate message to show what level of rules are being enforced.
• The [SERIOUS - LEVEL 1] command will trigger enforcement of all the previous rules with the tweaks mentioned above.
• The [SERIOUS - LEVEL 2] command will trigger enforcement of all the previous rules, plus additional rules for top-level comments. Under level 2, a top-level comment must meet a minimum of 500 characters, 250 comment karma, 60 days account age, and have the Silver progression tier or above in the user flair. If any of these conditions are not met, the comment will be filtered to the modqueue for review.

Again, to use the serious tag commands, simply insert [SERIOUS - LEVEL 1] or [SERIOUS - LEVEL 2] in the main text of your post instead of the title. For reference, please see the wiki page.

Thank you for your attention.

EDIT: Since I used the "SERIOUS" commands in the main text, AutoMod is now enforcing the level 2 rules in this submission. I could disable the rules enforcement but decided against it so people can preview how the features work.

EDIT2: Clarity
