2020

The 2020 NNN season was the 4th season of No Nut November. The season is predicted to be the toughest season to pass so far; the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has left people all over the world to stay at home, and urges for NNN participants would theoretically be harder to suppress, as participants have a lot more free time in their homes.

History
Yeeval, the founder of r/nonutnovember, officially retired from all NNN operations in 26 September 2020, citing loss of passion for NNN. In the wake of Yeeval's departure, the ownership of the No Nut November subreddit has been passed down to Smith.

With Smith at the helm, the subreddit is due to go through several changes, which included a formal gathering of the virtually-disconnected mod team, and new mod applications, which were announced on 25 October. To help with the new age of the subreddit, Smith has opted in VelvetRose24, who has previously worked with Smith to create the No Nut November Wiki, to mod in the subreddit starting 18 October 2020, making her the first user to be brought in the mod team under Smith.

Due to Smith being unavailable for most of November for personal reasons, Velvet was made the de-facto Nut Chief of the subreddit on 2 November, handling duties of posting the daily roll-calls and leading the rest of the mod-team, effectively making her a Nut Chief. Under Velvet's influence, the way roll-calls were posted on the subreddit were changed; roll-calls were now given a time schedule and an Official Roll-Call flair to combat confusion caused by the random, unscheduled roll-call posting that occurred in the previous NNN season.

As per schedule, Velvet hosted the Day 2 roll-call on 00:00, Eastern Time. The Day 2 roll-call surprised the mod team, making so much noise that it found itself as the 3rd most popular Reddit post in the United States after 7 hours of its posting. It has also garnered controversy from users outside of the subreddit, with the roll-call being falsely reported several times for spam, misinformation, and vulgarity. The sudden peak of attention attracted from the Day 2 roll-call started a trend where roll-calls would commonly reach r/all, peaking with the Day 23 roll-call with over 17.9k upvotes, most in subreddit history.

Epilogue
Velvet published Negative Energy, a full diary documenting her true experiences throughout November 2020. In the post accompanying the release, she thanked the community for accepting her in the community and trusting in her ability to lead the subreddit. On the No Nut November subreddit, numerous people have voiced complaints on not being eligible for the Diamond flair despite having completed NNN themselves, due to the lack of information regarding the purpose of roll-calls. This confusion was addressed by Velvet on 3 December, stating that future roll-calls will now specifically state the exact requirements for the Diamond NoNutter flair. An Unverified Diamond NoNutter 2020 flair was introduced at the same time to compensate to users who have not been able to comment on enough roll-calls on time.

After talks for a NNN mascot have been brought up several times, Mascot Velvet was introduced as the official mascot of the No Nut November subreddit, with plans to have her as the subject matter in the NNN 2021 subreddit competitions.
