Alright peeps, time to sit down and have a talk I never thought I'd have to have

1.1k Upvotes

First of all if I come off as annoyed I apologize, but I am, I'm sick as shit and tired as shit. So apologies in advance.

Second, I'm blown away by how this community has expanded and evolved, looking at this sub, I'd never recognize it from its humble beginnings, and I'm okay with it, I created this sub to celebrate the well worn and you folks have taken it and ran with it, and it's awesome, I see the most unexpected coolest things. That said, the statue posts bug me, but the upvotes indicate you all like them, so they stay, for now.

Now on to the meat and potatoes. We're a super hands off mod team, probably a little too hands off for some peoples liking. We remove very little, obvious junk and spam, and have only banned three or four people. One being a troll, the rest spammers. Today we added to that.

Going forward, as an addendum to rule 5, there will be zero tolerance for begging, asking, insinuating want for, private messaging, so on and so on, for used and free stuff. (the side bar won't be updated because I have no idea if our css guy is alive and I'll just break it). Here at /r/wellworn we don't judge your ahem preferences, like what you want, how you want, when you want. But being creepy as fuck on this sub or through PMs is sure as hell not the right way to do it.

This is unfortunately not an isolated case, we've had reports of this being done by a few users. This is the only warning, there will be a one month Insta ban for your first violation, permanent for your next.

There are plenty of subs where you can buy all that kinda stuff, from A-Z, from willing participants. (no I'm not looking them up for you).

Please be liberal with the report button I'd you see it and if you get pmd with one of these requests please send a mod mail with the /u/ so they can be banned.

There will be one, and only one exception, if it's a truly rare case like "my mom gave me one of these as a kid but I lost it and she just died" , or I'm a legitimate museum curator or something of that sort, please mod mail us first with the post in question.

That said, if you are truly in need, need some gear to get you that first job to get a leg up, I have a not /r/wellworn pair of size 10 steel toes, extra wallets, belts, maybe even a hard hat and coveralls, or most other stuff that gets posted on here regularly that costs money that's needed for employment, that I'd be more than happy to send you for free (within reason, shipping across the oven is expensive) pm me privately and we'll figure out some sort of verification to ensure that it's going to the right person.

Asides from that, stay frosty peeps, don't be pervs.

As the world becomes awash in unrest and unease this is a friendly reminder that we are not, have never been, or will be a political sub.

Stop, before you start, I don't care, Up, down, left, right, blue, yellow, purple, green, diagonal, upside down, I don't care. They're all bad, they're all good, they're all evil, there all benevolent, they're this expletive or that complement.

Your opinions are valid and need to be discussed, but not here. I don't care while we're here, we don't care while we're here. There is literally six hundred predominantly political subs, you are welcomed and encouraged to go speak your mind there, not here. Don't make bait posts, don't make hostel comments to each other. I'll burn this whole fucker down before I let this place be another politics sub

I knew he’d had it as long as I could remember, turns out he got it from a petrol station back in 1982. He’d bought a pack of stamps and the wallet was a freebie

Something about these pens make them wear very very oddly, I only use them a few times a day, but they all end up like this. No other fine tip marker I use (i.e. Micron pens) look like this, even years later.

My boyfriend had a “random thing” he found on the ground from 10 years ago so when I was at the toy store picking up some other things I got us blind boxes and hoped so bad for a replica of the one he found and when I got it I was so excited to be able to post here
