META Verified Email, Penis Man, and Making Friends in r/Phoenix

162 Upvotes

I wanted to give an update on a few subreddit items.

  • We are no longer requiring verified email addresses to post here. This was a feature that Reddit enabled to help combat trolls (who like to make new accounts to stir shit up). It worked well, but was catching too many regulars in the mix. We respect why people don't want Reddit to have their email addresses. So we've turned this requirement back off, but may enable it if we have a bad brigading situation like happens around elections.

  • Penis Man posts are NOT allowed in the subreddit. We were allowing them for a while but it's getting out of hand again. We had 5 in one day, and they seem to be on nice surfaces and even one historic building. The OG Penis Man wrote on dumpsters and other things as an act of resistance. This is different and smacks of people chasing clout. We're not going to give that any support. We will reevaluate this as we learn more about this new wave of Penis Men.

  • A reminder that we have an AZ Reddit Discord server with dozens of topic channels, loads of great users, and even regular meetups. It's a partner site with us and r/Arizona. I mention it because we've also had wave of people asking how to meet people and make friends. The server is a great place for that. It just is NOT a dating server, so if you go in there thirsty you will get bounced.

That is all. Have a great day, everyone.

Edit: yes there’s a r/penisman sub that’s been around for a long time

Pictures The guy across the street from me left his door opened during the haboob. He also had part of a tree fall on top of and in front of his place. Not a great day for him.

HABOOB! Now it’s pouring rain!! I haven’t seen a storm like this in years, but I feel like we used to get a few every summer growing up here. Taken from my backyard 20 minutes ago 08/25/25 :)

What do you guys think, am I just remembering wrong because I would spend all day as a kid splashing around in the storm (now I grab a white claw and my cat and turn on the tv) or do we actually get less of these storms now?

Ask Phoenix Also looking for a haircut. But I’m a male. My guy is leaving state. My cut is similar to these depending on the length. Looks easy and straightforward but whenever I had to fill in somewhere else they butcher it. Suggestions?

Ask Phoenix Serious hives after monsoon

0 Upvotes

I broke out in major hives (massive welts all over, even around my eyes) after the haboob last night. It started getting better today, then it rained a little tonight and- hives again. I got some rainwater on me last night, but showered this morning. Anyone else getting hives? Dunno if it's the dust that preceded (though I was indoors), or the water, or a coincidence.
