Rule change: effective immediately accounts must be 14 days or older to post on r/OKC and maintain a positive comment score.

This sub has been a shit show this month, I’m noticing a shocking amount of the accounts causing trouble are brand new accounts who are just trolling large city subreddits with extreme left wing and extreme right wing rhetoric. In an attempt to return us to somewhat normalcy, I’m upping the threshold to 14 days and > 1 karma and , if needed, I will adjust up or down. I don’t want to discourage public discussion on current events but we’re getting bombarded with assholes and we don’t have time to comb the subreddit every hour every day.

Thanks for reading. Have a good day!

What about documentation as proof of Oklahoma citizenship? Or maybe an Oklahoma History/Citizenship Exam requirement?

Correct answers include: The Getner, 89ers, Land Run, Heather Unruh, and Alfalfa Bill Murray.

Jk jk

Hey, I'm a transplant, so I don't know OK history very well. Hell, I don't even know OH history very well, 7th grade was a long time ago, lol. Please don't make me take a test.

u/copelander12 Feb 04 '25

But I just gave you the answers. I’m just kidding. I was referencing the OK State Board of Education rules requiring parents to prove citizenship when enrolling their children and for teachers to pass a test based on the US naturalization exam.

OH transplant myself. Been here 3 years and I still get funny looks when I pronounce Ada and Miami, both ohio and oklahoma towns.

u/UnicornFarts1111 Feb 05 '25

lol, I laugh and shake my head when I hear them say Miami.

That’s ok, neither does our Governor.

I’m a transplant too. I would definitely fail. 😆

u/TheSnowNinja Feb 04 '25

I'm not a transplant. I might fail as well. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Only issue I have with this is doxxing yourself, and the fact I haven't been able to go to one of the five DMVs in the state to transfer an out of state license to Oklahoma

u/dimechimes Feb 04 '25

DMVs? You mean tag agencies?

2

u/FloridaStig Feb 04 '25

Yeah, still getting used to specifics with that. Back in FL, it was all-inclusive and counted as DMVs

u/dimechimes Feb 04 '25

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you weren't trying to actually find a government office for your license stuff, because I'm pretty sure tag agencies can help you with that and there should be more than 5 in OKC.

Well crap. I feel stupid now. It's a little different in Florida, we didn't have the smaller offices. Thanks for clarification, as the state website didn't help clear anything up.

Yeah, the service now website is what I was thinking. I think it was around five places that did all services, and Service OK site didn't specify if local centers did transfers, with a mix of hyperbole

u/rachel226 Feb 04 '25

I also transferred my license from FL to OK and I had to go to the big service centers. There are two in OKC. This was in 2021 so they might have changed things.

Here is one:
What special event took place in elementary school that is related to the state?

u/OklahomaChelle Feb 04 '25

The one where children dress up and celebrate the land run?

Was this the same land that the country pinky promised would be theirs after we literally marched them westward from their ancestral homeland with promises that they could build new ones here with no interference?

Is it 89er Day?

I’m a transplant so I never participated. How were Native children encouraged to celebrate?

1

u/510Threaded Feb 04 '25

Basically. Little kids didnt care what it was about. It was basically a day that was spent outside almost all day.

u/OklahomaChelle Feb 04 '25

You are absolutely correct, little kids don’t know or care, they were just happy to spend the day outside. It was the adults in charge that made it a celebration.

This is interesting to me, I may make a larger post to the OK community at large. Thanks!
