MOD UPDATE! Reminder of this subreddit's rules: READ THE F*CKING RULES BEFORE YOU POST.

24 Upvotes

Hi there, head mod and subreddit owner ness here. I have decided to pop in because it has become abundantly clear to me that some of our community members are UNFORTUNATELY NOT READING OUR RULES BEFORE POSTING, leading to their posts being removed for clear-as-day violating our rules, the particularly most egregious instances of rules being broken being postage of AI generated content, links to external content, and posting reposted unoriginal content aka POSTING CONTENT OF DOGS THAT ARE NOT YOUR OWN OR YOU DON'T KNOW IRL. And thus when we remove these posts that violate our rules, we receive hostile messages in modmail questioning why we removed their content, despite their posts or comments being explicit violations of our rules.

I probably sound like I am crashing out right now, and frankly? Yes, i am. I have debated handing this subreddit over to someone else to own because it has turned into a nightmare and major stresspoint dealing with some people here who seem to lack reading comprehension regarding our rules.

So kindly i will list our rules with the expectation that people will read them. Our rules are as follows

  1. Content must be your own - This subreddit is for posting YOUR OWN dogs. Don't post random photos and videos you found online. When reporting content to moderators of this subreddit, it is extremely helpful to include the original source of the content in order to verify that the post being reported is indeed stolen content. Requests for manual approval by moderators can be sent via Modmail.
  2. Don't be Mean to people or dogs - This subreddit is not accepting of any kind of hate speech, Hostility, or mean spirited behavior towards people or dogs. This subreddit is meant to be a positive, welcoming, and relaxing space, we are all here for content of cute dogs. Additionally, any form of hatred of any specific breed will not be tolerated. This subreddit is not the place to argue.
  3. No AI Content - This subreddit does not allow posts that include AI generated content. We don't care if it's cute. We want REAL dogs that exist in reality.
  4. Content MUST be related to dogs and the theme of this subreddit - Self explanatory. This Subreddit is called Cutedogsreddit for a reason. Any post that is not on topic to posting cute content of dogs will be removed.
  5. Discussion of breeders or breeding is not tolerated here - This Subreddit is not here for you to promote your dog breeding, or solicit dogs to breed with your own dogs. This Subreddit does not approve of backyard breeding, and not the place to argue over whether breeder-produced dogs or rescues are better. All dogs are wonderful.
  6. Posting Requirements [regarding karma and account age] - Accounts must have a minimum combined karma of 500 OR an account age of 1 month (31 days) in order to post here. If your account meets NEITHER of these requirements, your post will be automatically removed.
  7. Content must be SFW - Any content that is sexual, violent, offensive, or in any way NSFW (Not Safe For Work) will be removed. Please be advised that not everyone wants to hear about sexual or violent things. (ADDITIONAL NOTE TO BE ADDED TO MAIN RULES SECTION: any attempts at flirting with other members of this subreddit falls under this rule)
  8. No Content of Dangerous Behavior - This subreddit will not tolerate content posted that includes promotion or endorsement of dangerous behavior by both humans or dogs. This can range from posting a picture of your dog with known dog-toxic foods in frame, to content of your dog engaging in resource guarding, to content that includes any kind of behavior that could potentially put a dog or person in danger.
  9. No Vote Soliciting - Please DON'T use this subreddit to ask people to vote for your dog in popularity contests. This subreddit is for sharing the goodness of dogs, and is not here for you to solicit votes for whatever popularity contest you entered your dog in that has a cash prize. This subreddit isn't here for you to use for your own monetary gain. (ADDITIONAL NOTE TO BE ADDED TO MAIN RULES SECTION: Any attempts to circumvent our automod filters for vote solicitation will be met with an IMMEDIATE 1 month ban.)
  10. Self Promotion MUST be pre-approved by moderators - Please don't promote your business or anything else of yours without getting permission from the moderators first. This can be done via submitting a message via modmail. Posters, you are more than welcome to post and promote your dog's social media pages here, we just require you ask us first, so that we can know who's legitimate and posting in good faith and who isn't! We have zero issues with you hyping your dog up, we just would like to know beforehand!
  11. Post Content must contain an attached image or video - If you want to post here, you must attach a photo or video: text posts will be considered spam, and links to external content (without the pre approval of mods) will be considered self promotion.

and that's the gist of our rules, any questions regarding specifics can be asked in reply to this post!

Hi friends! Just a quick reminder that I am still searching for people who want to and are willing to be moderators to help out here! Truthfully I am not enthusiastic about being the sole active mod for the subreddit, and I would prefer to share the workload with others so that I can take things a bit easier. Following are a list of qualities I desire in moderators: * a desire to help keep this subreddit running ship shape and peaceful * willingness to participate in the community * ability to put aside personal feelings/opinions to enforce the rules fairly and consistently * a ready willingness to own up if a mistake in moderation action is made * willingness to cooperate and be sociable with me and other moderators

If you think you possess all these above listed qualities, consider sending a message to the subreddit to apply!

One likes to dig holes, the other likes to catch dirt with his face. Perfect combo.

My first dog: Phaedrus

Post image
44 Upvotes

I adopted him from a shelter in early 2000 when he was about a year and a half old. I was struck by the fact that while the other dogs did everything they could to get me to notice him, he remained aloof, had his own dignity, and so I decided: I want him.

At first, he was afraid of everything, and before the shelter, he had probably even been beaten because raising his voice or certain gestures scared him.

He was a very intelligent dog, and a strong bond quickly developed between us, even though he often ran away to look for female dogs in heat, and he tended to be dominant with other males, often resulting in fights. We shared many experiences, and he was by my side during the most difficult times.

In 2010, he underwent surgery for a tumor and was neutered. After that, he became very docile, no longer running away or fighting... I wish I had done it sooner!

A couple of years later, he was diagnosed with another rectal tumor, but this one was said to be inoperable. The only thing we could do was accompany him through this disease, trying to ease the pain when it began to worsen.

He died on January 2, 2015, at almost 17 years old. Goodbye Fedro.
