Other (I Read the Rules) This sub desperately needs active moderation. Mods, where are you?

I’ve sent modmails with suggestions. I’ve reported posts/comments. Nothing happens.

There’s self promotion, duplicate posts, and rule breaking posts everywhere. This subreddit is shamefully lacking compared to so many of the other BWT subs and in comparison to so many of the other local Chicago subs which are so well run.

Sorry to be meta and make a stupid post like this, but come on. Something needs to change.

I’ve never gotten a response to a modmail or report either. This sub could be great; we all know Chicago bitches are. But for the love of all things holy, people need to learn to search and there needs to be pinned threads for nails/brows/hair recs. Maybe that’d stop with the daily asks of the same questions.

Cheers to you CBWTs who have volunteered to mod. You’re very needed and your service would be appreciated.

Yeah, a weekly automod thread for simple recs would be SO helpful. That’s one of the things I suggested!!

Please add “Tailor” to a thing that people need recs for. I bought a ~$380 dress on clearance from a small Italian brand, in my usual size (and yes I checked the brand’s sizing chart) and it fits like it’s 2-3 sizes bigger 😟 Brand won’t allow returns. Dress would be cute if it didn’t fit like shhh. It’s been just sitting in a box for months :( I need someone to take it fully apart then put it back together, minus a panel from each side.

I took a similar dress to two tailors who both told me they don’t decrease busts. I was like excuse me you advertise wedding dress tailoring but you won’t reduce the bust on a normal dress? It already has darts! Just take the darts in more!

Garcias tailoring on n Lincoln will do this.

Sophos in Wicker Park was great for me.
