Announcement "Why was my post removed?"

294 Upvotes

Rules:

  1. Stay civil.
  2. No irrelevant posts, including no AI.
  3. No self-promotion, apply for a shop flair.
  4. Tag gross stuff as NSFW.

Did you post something that ended up getting removed? It was more than likely reported repeatedly as breaking a rule and then removed by the bot. For the most part, I let the sub decide what belongs here.

"But why?" The #1 reason is irrelevance, your post might not actually belong here and is better suited for another sub like perhaps it's cottagecore. They are not always interchangeable.

Don't send a modmail arguing because you got a lot of upvotes, people will upvote a photo of a cat in a dog sub because they're just scrolling and upvote not paying attention to where it was posted. Upvotes mean people like it, it doesn't mean the post belongs where it was posted.

The second biggest reason a post might be removed is because your entire post history in this sub is to advertise things you've created. Dedicated shop accounts are not welcome here, please be active in the sub beyond trying to make money.

If you're not sure if your post belongs here, feel free to send a modmail to ask. I unapologetically remove all posts starting with "I don't know if this belongs here..." Just ask if you're unsure, I'll let you know if there's a better sub for it!

Have a website or shop? Creators can now apply for special user flair

22 Upvotes

Let's talk about the "no promotion" rule. Promotion has never been allowed outside of the old promo thread but folks don't pay attention. It's been my biggest headache in this sub in an attempt to keep it from turning into nothing but advertising, so I'm trying something new.

If you run a shop, make content, created a game, or anything relevant to goblincore you want to get the word out for, I've decided to allow creators to apply for a user flair that will show your link or social media for anyone interested in seeing more of your work or purchasing any. You can see an example of it in this post next to OP's name.

You're not obligated to have the flair, but for the interested-

Nature & critters (no spiders) This guy kept me company while working on our well the other night

We have well water, and every 4 months or so I go down after dark to do maintenance such as topping off the pressure tank pre-charge. The well itself is sealed against critters, but we have a concrete box underground where the pump and other hardware is housed to prevent it from freezing in the winter. And we occasionally find visitors when I lift the lid; copperheads, turtles and the other night, this adorable little feller.

As the summer hangs heavy, teetering, and the first autumn winds wind the withy leaves, here are some photos from my last few weeks. Hoping all you Fair Folk have courage, and good fires in your homes and in your hearts.

edit: I took the pictures and all the doodles are mine but the seagull sculpture is something I came across, not something I made

I sewed up this feisty little critter with a penchant for carnival-colored mischief! She is currently in transit to a friend of mine to cheer her up!

She is made of minky, fleece, beanie pellets, and stuffing. I added a little jingle bell to her tail too. :3

I practice historical fencing, and part of our training is done in sports helmets like this one. My friend decorated it for me at my request. She painted tiny horns made of my favorite rowan branches.
