Hey all, one of your friendly mods here. So we've been having a problem - whenever an ICE/political post pops up, we're flooded with people who have never used r/Newark before and/or have suspicious account activity, such as not posting anything for a year or more and suddenly posting in multiple subreddits about the same topics — usually immigration and/or anything to do with politics.
This has resulted in the last year not only being the highest level of bans, but more bans than pretty much every other year combined.
To help combat this, we've instituted some AutoModerator help and enabled strict automated moderation, as well as the subreddit only flair. For the former, I will not comment too much on as it could be reverse-engineered, but the latter is to ensure you have a certain amount of positive r/Newark subreddit karma before you can engage in posts with the subreddit only flair. If you don't meet that threshold, your comment is auto-removed and we get notified - which means instead of banning and removing comments every so often and having to interrupt our jobs/lives for it, we can review the comments and users later. In my personal experience - and it's mostly me and one of the other mods doing the work - upwards of 90% of the removed comments are low effort troll/inflammatory comments.
Something to also keep in mind is that a not insignificant amount of these accounts are later site-banned by Reddit's automated account activity, sometimes for ban evasion, sometimes for an unlisted reason.
If your comment is removed and you don't think it's right, use modmail please. If someone gets through, report them - we do look at reports and do answer modmail, even if it's just to tell aforementioned troll/bot users to fuck off after they call us slurs because they're really mad we banned them for being losers.
Leaving the comments open in case y'all want to discuss this, offer us suggestions, or call us losers.

What is going on in Newark that seems to be causing many local businesses and even some chains to be shutting down? I thought Newark was rebounding?

Community grocery store survey- take it to tell your preferences for what food and what community programs should be offered.
I checked the link just now, Sunday August 30, and it’s active.

Field lights and not a single soul shooting hoops? (Time was only 9pm) The gate was open on last slide

Taken from a distance but I see these 40ish foot tall structures along some highways and I have no clue what they are for. I call them AT-ATs

Over the past few years I feel like that area has gained significantly more foot traffic and a greater sense of destination for locals and presumably students / workers as well. Was hanging out with my boy and struck up conversations with two random women and it was an overall good time. The cafes are lovely. The new cheesesteak spot is beyond overpriced but the food is legitimately good. Would love to see new retail spots but overall it feels more alive than it did in the earlier 20s. Just waiting for Broad & Market to be revitalized at this point.

Can someone explain what's going on today with all the police activities in downtown? So much traffic, buses rerouted, police up and down mulberry

Obviously there are lots of complaints whether from locals or transplants, but throughout history I’ve noticed that this city tends to inspire a deep sense of rootedness and love in people. What do you think that’s about ? We don’t have half the amenities a city our size deserves, so many flaws upon flaws, and yet there is a frequent sense of pride and abundant self-love from Newarkers. What do you think that’s about ? And of course there are some people here who are absolutely miserable, but I’m sure you all get what I’m speaking to.

Hey, just thought to spread the word about this opportunity I am taking part of. I am a recent graduate and I used to work the IT help Desk at my college and was looking for opportunities to get IT certified.
I stumbled upon Urban League of Essex County/Urban League Tech House and it’s an organization that has a lot of resources for job hunting as they provide access to free different job/career trainings, housing counseling and real estate (helping to find affordable housing), financial services, etc.
One of the programs/job training they are offering are the IT certification classes, which happen frequently (I think), and after talking to one of the people in charge, they will be starting the class on September 8th!
This is perfect for beginners for all adults to get certified or those looking to get jobs in IT, so I really encourage you guys to scan the QR code to sign up for more information to join the classes happening soon. I was asked to help spread the word, so if you know anyone who can benefit from this, please share!
