Farewell u/Atobitt
Atobitt stepped down to balance his personal life. I won't speak for him so you can read his goodbye here. Ato, you've been a great inspiration for many of us through these months. Thank you for your groundbreaking investigations and for building this place to what it has become! We'll see you around, friend! 🍻

Superstonkbot
Superstonkbot has been decommissioned. I'm gonna be honest with you guys. It wasn't really effective. All the greatest DD from Superstonk came from people who wanted to stamp their name on it. 99% of the DD that we would post from it was already posted by the OP, so it'd double up. The rest of the submissions were either conspiracy junk or people asking for post reviews/flairs etc. Over the past 6 months we have not had any whistleblowers or anonymous posts. Honestly, it was a lot of extra work on the DD mods and from our perspective, the reasons to decommission it far outweighed the benefits of keeping it. As always, we do try our best to listen to you so if you think you have a solution to this problem, please let us know! Thanks!
Post Flairs
(Meme, Education, HODL, DD, Discussion, etc)
We are currently reworking the post flairs--combining flairs that generally overlap, removing the ones that are not useful anymore, and tweaking, but we wanted to give you a heads up that changes are coming that we hope will improve your browsing experience.
Automod Changes
Keep in mind that all discussions on Superstonk must still relate back to GME. Due to cryptocurrency becoming more and more relevant within the GameStop conversation, we have decided to remove the following from the automod banned list (meaning you can use them freely now):
- BTC/Bitcoin
- LTC/Litecoin
- ADA/Cardano
- USDT/Tether
- COIN/Coinbase
- MVIS/Microvision
- MASK/MASKCOIN
- Madana
- Cunt (this is not a cryptocurrency lmayo--also don’t abuse this word or else we’ll have to ban it again, also keep in mind that if your post/comment uses cunt in a harassing manner, you can still get banned)
COMPUTERSHARE
Alright guys, I’m not gonna lie to you here. I’m a fucking smooth brain so the info I’m about to give you might erase all the wrinkles you’ve earned this week. This CS shit is confusing as hell, so I’m gonna try to summarize what I understand to you in an ELIA (Explain Like I’m Ape). (This explanation is an analogy, not to be taken literally)
Basically CS is like this storage facility and GameStop uses it to store their 100% authentic certified no-doubt-about-it shares. At this storage facility, we can buy shares in our name. When you do that, it should effectively remove that share from the float. Since there are only 76.49 mil shares in the float (according to FINRA), the question is what happens when people buy all the available shares? We know what’s supposed to happen theoretically (oops *Moass* my bad 😏), but we’ll have to wait and see how it will unfold. To say that I’m excited is an understatement.

We mods want to clarify though, we are not requesting you guys to do anything towards your investment except EDUCATE YOURSELVES on your options. From the beginning of this journey, it’s always been about the empowerment of the individual investor, so do your part by growing and learning and then make an informed decision about your investment. Power to the Players ✊🏼
CS Guides:
(I’ve been watching so much LotR lately lmao)
I personally have bought some shares directly from them and I will be transferring some shares in the near future. I will be up front with you, the user experience and customer service was super annoying, but I really think it's worth the hassle, especially if you are trying to get more Infinity Pool shares. If you are interested in buying or transferring your shares to Computershare, then the following guides written by fellow helpful Apes should aid you in your journey:
Criand the Pomeranian: Direct Registering Shares
Link to buying shares directly on CS (DirectStock)
- (if you guys have a great Superstonk guide to buying direct shares then please tag me with a link in the comments)
Guide: International transfers to CS
Guide: Changing your shares to "Book Entry"
WARNINGS ABOUT CS:
When you’re buying from them, they’re gonna send you some emails that are completely useless until the shares have been successfully bought and settled. I have no idea why they send you those prior emails. Don’t try to do anything like create an account or log in until like a week after you sent your order. TBH I don’t even remember if I got a confirmation email or letter for my order going through. And the customer service [from my experience] is very unhelpful. So just be patient. Even though the user experience is shit, I’m still going to be buying/transferring some more shares to add to my own personal Infinity Pool. Do what you wish with your investment.
FLAIR!
💻 ComputerShared 🦍
From all the CS mania, we’ve created a new flair! If you’ve transferred or bought shares from CS, then please comment the following code in any Superstonk post (all lowercase letters will also work):
!DRS!
Community PSA:
The dam could explode at any time and things are going to get wild. We can feel it: everyone is antsy, frustrated, hyped, jubilant...we’re all going through a lot of emotions week after week and the mods can see it’s taking a toll on morale. Over the past few months we have seen an uptick in nasty remarks and comments being made all over the subreddit. Instead of using tact and helpful language to convey a message, many users have decided to be dickbags and create a cloud of negativity and bad vibes around their presence. I believe we should avoid becoming an echo chamber at all costs because that’s not good for intelligent discussion, but we need to remember there’s always a kind way of saying what we want to say. No one wants to listen to an asshole. So don’t be an asshole.
And also, before I forget, not every opposing idea is FUD. Just because someone disagrees with you, doesn’t mean they’re a shill or creating FUD. There’s two sides to every coin and I see people all over being mean to each other. Just chill out and take a breather.
Then there’s a bunch of you guys who forget the mods are real people with lives outside of GME who are also just volunteers trying to do our best for the community we love. Some of these people have been straight up harassing us. To those people, I made this meme for you:
That brings us back to a message that we’ve been saying since the beginning:
Be Excellent to Each Other!
Be kind, patient, courteous, and forgiving when you’re dealing with other people. And that’s not just a thing for Superstonk, that’s a blanket piece of advice for literally all of life. If you are kind and compassionate then people will listen to you and maybe, just maybe, we can learn together.
It’s 4:20 somewhere ayoooo *jump high five*
Closing Thoughts
There might be a lot of fireworks starting soon. Remember that with each of these cataclysmic market events, there are families on the other side that will be gravely affected by the carnage. Don’t fucking dance. I know it’s gonna be hard when the headline says “HEDGE FUND LIQUIDATED” and all we can think is “I TOLD YOU SO,” but please remember to be respectful about it. When this popsicle stand gets blown, the world is gonna put a spotlight on this place. Make sure you aren’t doing anything to bring shame to this community of Apes.

With that said, you start getting your nipple cream ready because we’re about to start another week of jacking our titties.
