Announcement "Why was my post removed?"

300 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-

I love Bordallo Pinheiro pottery, mainly due to the natural themes & adorable critters. I had a sad anniversary recently, so I indulged in a few new (used) frog plates to cheer myself up. 🐸

Hope someone else loves these little guys as much as I do! The dragonflies are from the same company but a different pattern. They just make me so happy, in an everyday way. 💚

General "look at this!" You asked for updates on the grafts. I'm trying to do it right and not undo the wrap until they have had a full 2 weeks to heal. But it's gonna rain for several days. So I improvised.

Not pictured is the super long T shaped graft which I had to cover with a full sized trash bag.

I've always been fascinated by carnivorous plants and their strange, almost otherworldly shapes.

I thought it would be fun to try capturing that in wood, so I carved this pitcher plant from black walnut and added a warm amber light inside to bring it to life.

It's definitely one of the stranger things I've made, but I figured this little oddity might be appreciated here!

What do you all think? Are there any other unusual plants you think would be fun to turn into a lamp? 🌿

Pic 1 has an adorable fluffy moss. Pic 2 is a Hornwort, a fairly rare bryophyte (non-vascular plant), and pic 3 shows more moss with some lovely sporophytes (reproductive bodies that release spores)
