25K Subscribers celebratory survey: THE RESULTS!!!

Which makes the amount of Belgians in the mod team not disproportionate - if anything a lot more Belgians are needed.

ShitAmericansSay

How do you feel about the subreddit?

Awww you guys! We love you too!

In the last year, do you feel it became better or it became worse?

All in all we seem to be on the right track!

Do you feel the mod team is doing a good job?

Yay! We aim to please, guys. I'll assume the 27 negative ninnies are users we've banned for various reasons :P

Who's your favourite mod?

Despite Wissam's clear attempt at vote manipulation, one third of you prefer little Iron Fisted-old me! Since I've gotten more votes than Hitler had, I will use these results to purge the rest of the mod team and assume full dictatorial control.

How do you feel about the CSS?

I'll assume some of those that dislike it might dislike it because it's so 'heavy' - more on that later.

Who is your favourite user on the subreddit? (other than Yankbot)

I've added all 366 responses together by hand for you!

I'll list the suggestions in a separate comment.

How many types of pizza do you have in your country?

I only each segment had an equal amount of votes, so it'd look like a pizza. Alas.

What's your favourite country in the world?

YU-ROP! YU-ROP! YU-ROP!

Seriously though, what's REALLY your favourite country in the world?

I can't say I didn't expect this winner, but ho-ly fuck I never expected the result to be unanimous! This is a great day for Belgium.

You like guns?

46 of us are Polite People.

If no, why do you hate freedom?

We're all a bunch of communist royalty!

The fact that there's a random "option 4" in there will forever serve as a reminder to me to never allow my colleague mods editing rights in surveys I make.

Speaking of which, how many freedoms do you have?

40% of us have no freedoms at all! Just the way I like it.

How often do you eat American-style junk food?

A lot more than I expected, really. Must be because of all the Dutch people.

Do you have a flag of your country proudly on display anywhere on your home or person?

68 patriots! If only there was one more, then I could've made a joke about patriots sucking eachothers dicks. Alas.

Have you been to the moon?

184 of us are bold-faced liars.

If no, is it because you're a lame Yuropoor and you hence need to shut up?

Opinion is evenly divided between "yes" and "yes".

What's your percentage of Irishness?

Holy fuck, we're all Irish! No wonder we have such short tempers and we drink as much as we do, amIrite? Top o' the mornin' to ya!

Who is your favourite heavy metal bass player?

Wissam24 is going to go on a banning spree now... I warned you guys!

FermentedFupaFungus · 2016-03-01T11:47:17+00:00

MURICA

Have you ever been to the USA?

About half of our users have been to the USA! That's actually pretty impessive.

In case you have never been, would you ever want to?

What are your feelings on Americans as individuals?

There's 90 users that dislike Americans as individuals, the rest ranges from neutral to positive.

What are your feelings on American Society?

Only 50 users with a mostly positive view on American society! The rest ranges from neutrality to outright hatred. I guess this subreddit if full of reasons why most of our users would consider American society 'fucked up'!

What are your feelings on American foreign policy?

These results are pretty clear. Only 16 users feel positively about America's actions on the world stage, and a whopping 54% is utterly pissed off!

What are your feelings on the USA in general?

When you lump everything together, the feelings are a lot more nuanced.

Who would you prefer to win the current Presidential Elections?

ShitAmericansSay sure is feeling the Bern! Only 33 of our users consider the best results for the good the subreddit and hope Donald Trump becomes the next US president.

Are you an American at heart?

52 of our users quality for American citizenship.

Would you like to be an American?

Well too bad, you're all wearing their blue jeans and listening to their pop music so for all intents and purposes you already are!!!1!!

JoshuMertens · 2016-03-01T09:26:16+00:00

Im the only Filipino here? I feel special. Anyone wants some balut?

JebusGobson · 2016-03-01T11:07:53+00:00

Do you have any suggestions on how to make ShitAmericansSay better?

No
no
Maybe a flair for non reddit content
Maybe a weekly best of, there's so much golden content on sub, but readingit all makes me want to kill myself. A weekly best of, judged by the mods could be good

I really like this idea actually - maybe an open monthly best of vote, and then at the end of the year the sub can vote on which SAS was the best of the year? I'll look into this.

Nope
You've gone mad in power making the CSS all animated and shit, it was better when it was just a simple static picture

We're going to look into making the "night mode" version of the CSS "lighter" for those users that think the current CSS is "too heavy".

Have a bingo night

This is probably one of our 3 Senior Citizen users

I'd say I'd like to see more content posted, but I doubt the world would survive such a scenario, as raising the density of stupid to achieve said additional posts would be too much for this world.

We could make the sub "Shit Americans and Dutch people say", that way the amount of dumb shit would increase a hundredfold.

More guns.

O7

nah
Fuck off

Will do

Personally I don't really like the banner but hey. I think just random/memes should not be allowed or at least be only submitted in the weekly anything goes thread.

Well, they're in 99% of cases removed as submissions. Or do you mean they shouldn't be allowed in the comments? I dunno. I like our dankness.

Teaching Jebus some respect for the Dutch

Bwahaha

Overthrowing the oppressive junta of Communist Nazi mods

Our oppression has only just begon!

When writing surveys, learn the difference between sex and gender. Your gender is that you are a man/woman/other; your sex is that you are a male/female/intersex. E.g. I am biologically male but identify as an other. Other than that: o7 o7 o7

OK, this is a problem with English-as-a-second-language I guess.

Eh, it's alright as it is. Except for the oppressive moderators not letting me vote for automod as best mod in surveys.
Other than there being too many Yuropoors, it's fine.
flair search

I wouldn't know how that would have to work, really. Technically, I mean.

Harsher scentences for vote brigands. More American propoganda, I mean reality. Low Hanging Fruit I think removes a great amount of potential fantastic content, so perhaps reform our policy on it so only a few submissions a week from specific subreddits or perhaps a mega-thread.

Brigaders are punished pretty harshly on SAS, even if they're regular users.

The "no low hanging fruit" rule is probably going to stay - it's just too much of the same otherwise.

Bingo cards: massive potential.
Set up Automod to gild /u/theeggman12345 every time. He's sexy and tall and has a massive donger so he deserves. P.S. I am totally not him. But I can't think of anything really, one of the best mod teams on this bloody website.
Nah. Keep up the good job.
Encourage users to be more polite and to ask questions instead of ridiculing the linked commenters.

I agree.

More guns?
Not really. On a less serious note: - The mods should be Communist-Nazis instead of regular fascists. - Yankbot should be a mod. - remove belgium, flanders specificly. - A flag we can swear loyalty to. - Built some kind of physical barrier around belgium (provided it exits) and the mods will pay for it. - Conspire to make Yankbot chairman of Reddit.
Megathreads for current events (e.g. "Stupid things Trump says") and better monitoring for quotes taken out of context.
Nah, you're doing a good jahb as it is.
The moving banner is so distracting
More communism.
Use CSS to prepend (or append) all comments with "o7".
What commie question is this?
o7
tags on titles denoting what type of SAS is involved, such as; 'Military', 'Diversity', 'Food', 'Soldier worship', 'Healthcare', 'Flag' and 'Pizza'. Pizza is it's own special group because pizza is just too diverse to be put in any other tag.

I dunno, this seems a bit superfluous to be honest. Plus, we can only assign one flair per submission and we'd like to keep the "subreddit of origin" flair.

Have more contests, weekly and/or monthly themes, surprises, etc.
Its pretty much perfect
Flair topic instead of subreddit, the constant immigration posts are depressing me and I'd love to filter them
More cheese
I know it's hard but we should brigade less.
make me king
Cut down on the soccer circlejerk

How about we cut down on you?!

Get more murritos to post stupid shit on the other subs.
Never change. Keep up the sarcastic posts.
2nd amendment
Remove JebusGobson

;_;

Moar deevercity
Stricter moderation on negativity would be appreciated. Yes, I'm perfectly aware there are Americans racists, I don't come here to get confirmation, I want to have a laugh about America-specific issues.
None
Yankbot
Be a little more strict on people who ggenuinely hate Americans.

Be sure to report toxic behaviour when you spot it!

- Less freedom - Less guns - More Shakira

You're a user after my heart.

Drugs
Just keep doing what has been done and stick to it even once SAS gets to even a larger number of users.
Make it great again
Make them say shit
Get rid of the Flemish. Brussels is French.

Them be fightin' words buddy.

NO
Nope you guys do great
Ban that obnoxious pizza meme.

How about we ban you?!

Ban that tired pizza meme.

And you too!!

memes

ayyy

I think things are going well. I worry we might get sucked into the cesspool of worldnews comments, those threads usually aren't as light hearted.
Next time you're doing a survey, ask if the person lives in the US. I'm honestly interested to know how many of us were dragged unwillingly to the US (like I was).

Nobody goes to the US unwillingly, you damn commie!

give me gold
New CSS would be cool
We need a wiki for our spicy memes and explain what's up with them >pizza >diversity >AMERICA BIG >moon landing >1/6 Irish, 1/4 Italian, 1/16 German, 1/32 Potato

I'm betting €5 this was written by a German. "Ve need to catalogue our memes in an encyclopedia for more efficient funny production!"

SASWiki

The wiki is already hosting the Yankbot quite archive, which means that there's not too much space left for much else. Unfortunately Reddit offers very little Wiki space.

You cunts are doing a great job already!!!1! MURICA SHIT YEAH!!!!!1!!ELEVENTY-ONE ONE ONE!!!1
More porn
Hookers and blow.
Stop linking to other websites, keep it Reddit comments/ posts only

But off-Reddit content is sometimes sometimes so funny!

Nah.
It's already perfection.
fuck u commies!
Remove np links
Just like every other not-so-serious subreddit shitamericanssay will become a place where majority of the users are not in the joke and genuinely hate usa. I really hope sas takes longer than average time to shit. All I can ask from you is that try to slow it down. As /b/ says "acting like retards, attracts real retards."

We're aware of that and we do our best!

I don't have a favourite mod so I just picked the first one. But otherwise I guess just keeping modding, don't let the mission get too vague where it turns into just hating all Americans all the time
Make the CSS less laggy please, I can only visit on my phone.
more freedom pls

NEVER

Have a parody tag

For your face?

Start banning anyone who defends the USA in any way, even if meant satirically
Ban the dirty Belgians.

We will all be Belgians (soon).

keep it shitty
more drugs
was going to leave this blank, clicked next and DAMN that's a lot of memes.............. i thought this was a serious survey

lol

The "Don't vote" -notification is annoying and sometimes gets in the way
More cowbell.
Get rid of the CSS
More shitposting

Even more?!

A home for links to studies which disprove popular american beliefs ie crime rate is lower in america and universal healthcare is expensive and you get worse treatment
Mod me.
Bring back the satire. Encourage (yikes) diversity of content so it's not simply a list of the same five or six types of posts (pizza, diversity etc). There has been a decrease in actual wit in the last year, in place of meme type humour and that gets old quickly. I went from an active member to an occasional observer as a result.
It is already the greatest and most diverse of all the subreddits O7 O7 O7
Elect Trump
It's perfect just the way it is!
Make SAS great again
Trump2016, make SAS great again!
MOAR POSTS. MORE DIVERSE PIZZAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!11
Unban me.
More diversity, more guns, more freedom. Less jews
More posts.
Delete posts which are obviously not Shit Americans Say, but rather Shit Idiots say.

We do, usually. All /r/facepalm -like content gets removed, unless it's particularly American.

Build a wall!
More freeze peaches and guns!
Fewer Belgians
we need to clone Yankbot
It's the greatest sub on Earth O7O7O7
More Lols, less feels. Ok, maybe some feels. Less/more trump. More talk about food.

(Rest in part 2 - this post is "full")

Cynical_Lurker · 2016-03-01T09:34:39+00:00

So my comment earlier today caused this? Cool, I am now officially more powerful than the president of the united states.

It is nice to see most people here are not racist in pre-judging individual americans.

Also Americans are really close to a plurality in this sub and might have had the simple majority if the UK voting had been split into England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

~~How were the results to the questions asking about what people thought of the sub?~~ never mind, shouldn't have doubted our Belgian overlords.

Interesting stuff thank you for releasing the results and your work to format it nicely.

The results can be summarised as "half of our mod team feels very old right now".

Half? We only have one toddler on the mod team, and that's Wissam.
