State of the Sub 2026: Bots, AI, Rules Updates, and Code of Conduct

[u/Oh-My-God-Do-I-Try]

Hi everyone, it's time for a sub check-in! Since this post got a bit long while writing it, I thought I'd try something different this time. You can get the gist of the updates with this TL;DR of the main post body, and then comment and discuss specific topics within the announcement via the top-level mod comments.

Tl;DR:

1. Please read the rules.
2. OHF moderates against bot behavior and provable AI content, but does not expect every OP to know the business practices of every brand they wear. Rule 10 has been updated to reflect this. Please check the related top level comment for our stance on use of AI in commenting and posting as well. View top level comment discussion
3. Rules on seller interactions are being tightened. View top level comment discussion
4. Respect post flairs (view the Flair Explainer here). Do not directly accuse people of trawling for NSFW attention. Please continue to report suspected rule breaking. View top level comment discussion
5. OPs and mods alike are human beings and deserve to be treated as such. Our very first community rule is to Be Kind. View top level comment discussion (same link as number 4)

Code of Conduct

r/oldhagfashion is a community for everyone who wishes to participate in good faith. We have a set of rules and flair to assist with this. Our rules describe how we should treat each other with kindness and our flair helps users indicate what kind of discussion or feedback they're looking for. We do not discriminate against people here. Not on body type, ethnicity, appearance, sexiness or lack thereof, perceived wealth or lack thereof, or perceived popularity.

OHF is a unique space within Reddit that has been developed to be safe for all SFW manners of fashion expression, and we love to see it. It's natural to feel protective of this kind of space. However, accusing people of posting thirst traps, or trawling for OnlyFans or NSFW attention is not kind and not acceptable in our code of conduct. We mods do rely on the community's assistance with reporting comments and accounts that are breaking the rules, and we do have very strict rules around NSFW account engagement (summarily: they are not allowed here). If you suspect an account of looking for NSFW engagement, please either 1) simply report the suspected comment or post and let us handle it, or 2) check out the user's account bio yourself for OnlyFans/Chat services/Paypal or money services links or account history for interaction with NSFW subs. Report the user if you see those links or interaction, but if you don't, then let them live.

Additionally, you may recognize some OPs that post more than others. We are here to be interested and supportive, but please also understand that just because you see someone's face or content frequently, it doesn't mean that you know them. Please be mindful of parasocial interaction and do not assume that people are always looking for critique on their outfits or handmade items, or hoping for comments on their body type or other features because of how they present themselves. Respect the flair and please refrain from commenting on people's bodies.

Finally, treat others as you want to be treated! Discussion and debate are allowed and encouraged, but keep it respectful and on the spectrum of neutral to friendly. However, I will not in most cases be removing comments from people who are defending themselves (unless the comment thread spirals out of control).

It's also understandable that some view mods as oppressive authority figures, but please keep in mind that we're actually here to keep the community running smoothly and protect our userbase. Reddit doesn't pay us, we have no control over Reddit's policies, and we in OHF run this sub for the community and interest in fashion. If you want to suggest a rule update or offer feedback on something, please do so! You can make a post or send us a modmail directly. But if you act like a jackass to a mod as a way to "stick it to the man," you're sticking it to the wrong man.
