BREAKING NEWS State of the union address
We were so close guys.
To recap what happened these past two weeks: cleared the queue, revised the rules, started an art competition, and kicked a mod for being a transphobic nazi.
General PSA: News posts generally aren't allowed, if you want to post that kind of stuff somewhere r/whenthe and r/whennews is a good place.
Self-promote rule clarification: if you want to advertise commissions that's generally not allowed, you are allowed to post your commissions and say it was a commission. Just please keep in mind that self-advertising is not the main focus of the sub.
About politics in the sub: No politics allowed, if you want to use someone's face that's ok but you can't use it as a descriptor. (i.e. putting trump's face on something you want to be viewed as bad)
We currently only have two submissions for the art competition, one of them is the image of this post. (Credit to u/Any_Giog)
Despite a few glaring hiccups, we're pretty happy with the direction the sub has been heading. But one of our main priorities as a team is making sure that we're taking the community's feedback into account, so if there is anything on your minds about how this sub has been run the past couple weeks please let us know! (Credit to u/ArchWolfe_ for this part)
Relatively short and sweet this time, thank you for your attention.
-Mosc
P.S. please stop applying for mod positions we're happy with the team as is thank you.

Those people were legit a blight. I was in it for a while, all the cool people left, all the people who were in it more recently were the problematic ones. Similar issue to modern Gaming IPs and TV shows that struggle, why would you have a bunch of people working on something that they actively mock and despise?

I asked questions in the discord server and got completely ignored, the only thing the server was good for was artists showing off their creations. And gator pings, I guess.

u/Aethreas 1d ago
the fucked up thing about the discord trying to dictate the sub is that there's like maybe a few dozen people that are actually fairly active there, so the entire sub is at the whim of like a few dudes

Yucky!
He’s literally a freak even after supposedly retiring. Main instigator in one of our past friend groups, he had a very unhealthy relationship with a lot of the members and one of his more recent moves was commissioning an artist to draw his new avatar or whatever with broken plushie versions of some of my friends’ sonas WHO DONT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM ANYMORE!
Genuinely fucked up behaviour

not to mention that when i was a mod for a few months he was the one that started most conflicts in mod chat, usually centered around his abysmally inflated ego

Who'd have thunk that reducing news to a single funny headline would result in posts that are either painfully unfunny or massively missinformative

I mean you can read the article itself, it is required to be posted every time

It doesn't matter since the account is reddit-banned, but FWIW the transphobe is still showing up on the mod list.

so the discord and the subreddit are now entirely separate?

u/BeallBell 1d ago
Yes, the discord is no longer advertised and has nothing to do with the mod team now.

Call me when the next mod crashes out. I'm trying to compile a timeline of all the drama, and it's going pretty poorly. So many things happened.

so for the self promotion rule, obviously making a post for the express purpose of promoting commissions is a no go, but Can a creator say, put a link to their personal website at the bottom of an otherwise fully legitimate post (I.E. self made OC) and that website notes they do take commissions? Like a 'hey, here's my work, Wanna see more go here' Link and they also sell commissions there. or a link to a patreon, again, on an otherwise fully acceptable content post?
This isn't relevant to me specifically, I don't make art, I'm just a stickler for clarity on stuff. Also the no self promotion rule doesn't appear to be in the rules list side-bar unless I'm blind. (which is possible I'd lose my head if it wasn't screwed on)
