I didn't really think this was a post I was going to have to make and sticky, but as the subreddit has become more popular it's been experiencing some growing pains -- just like any subreddit -- and it has reached a point of mild frustration where I'd like to perhaps nip things in the bud and prevent them from growing worse.

The way some (very few) of you are conducting yourselves in comments is not OK. This doesn't apply to most, even many of you, but I would like to post about it now in order to prevent it from potentially growing into a larger number later. It's important to say something when it is a small number in order to keep it a small (and hopefully, dwindling) number.

Things that aren't OK:

• Calling girls dudes, men, boys, guys, or other synonyms
• Calling girls ugly (if I see a post that's been downvoted into oblivion for not being hot, I'll remove it)
• Cyberstalking and otherwise harassing people who post here
• Racism
• Treating each other like shit (if someone is being shitty, flag it, we'll deal with it)

Here are some direct examples of what's not ok:

• nobody likes niggers don't post this trash

• this is a dude

• she's a he

• wtf this bitch is ugly

Here are some counterexamples of things that you might think are not OK, but are fine/tolerable because I'm not interested in making this Tumblr:

• this girl is TS

• not into black chicks

• what's up with her tits

• she could use a nose job

• does this girl have a dick / didn't she used to have a dick

Basically, if you have not yet picked up on the theme, it's "don't be a prick." I'm not asking you to be nice, I'm not even asking you to not be crude, I'm just asking you to not be an asshole. If you cannot handle not being an asshole, I will warn you (likely in-thread, on your comment, so that other people can benefit). If the warning does not work, I will hand out a temporary ban. If this does not work, I will hand out a permanent ban.

I moderate this subreddit because, like (I assume) the majority of you, I adore super fake, plastic, slutty women, not because I am trying to enforce some agenda (barring the agenda of "let's have more super fake, plastic, slutty women"); what I would like to enforce is a bare minimum of civility, however.

"But why?"

Short answer: Because it's shitty behaviour.

Long answer: Transphobia isn't cool, just like racism is not cool, and homophobia is not cool. I don't care if you are into TS girls, just like I don't care if you find Asian or Latin women hot. You are welcome to find them disgusting or even hate them, if that's your thing, and you have the downvote arrow to express that disgust -- not the comments (surprise, I have content I'm not into either, and I downvote it, too). On the TS front, this ignorance is further compounded by those of you who immediately start calling women men because you think they might be transsexuals, when in reality they've just had a lot of plastic surgery, and so they inherently look artificial (which, yes, happens, and it happens more frequently than you may suspect). This is hurtful to everyone, and I'm not going to be chill with it anymore.

If you want to discuss this in the comments, that's fine, and please be assured that so long as you are not a complete dick about it, dissenting opinions are completely welcome. While I do not suspect I will change the spirit/intention behind anything I have said above, I am open to rephrasing it to make it clearer or better address concerns.

In conclusion, please don't be a dick. Thanks.

Hello,

It's been several months now, and as nice as the subreddit looks in terms of spam, it's really suffering in the variety department, and after polling you guys (well, those of you who spoke up, anyway) and looking at the stats, it doesn't instill me with confidence for the subreddit's health.

Anyone may now once again submit links to the subreddit.. HOWEVER, if you are not a participant in the subreddit, as measured by your combined karma here, your posts (not comments) will be automatically filtered.

You can bypass this requirement by mailing in asking to be pre-approved, but hopefully in the meantime this will open the door a little bit for those who don't want to enter the mail-in queue.

As before -- as always -- please speak up if you see issues.

Thanks.
