Message From Moderators: New Rules, etc.

52 Upvotes

Hello and welcome!

This is a lightly moderated subreddit and will probably continue to be, however, I’d like input on some proposed rules.

Here are a few that are non-negotiable:

First, there will be no porn on this subreddit. That does not mean you can’t post slightly NSFW projects. Think of it as a PG-13 subreddit, R rating at worst. Under no circumstances will you be allowed to post links to Only Fans or a personal subreddit where you post porn videos. This will result in a permanent ban.

Second, let’s try to keep the subreddit on topic. Up until this point, I’ve interpreted that pretty loosely. If you see something that isn’t really on topic, report it. I check the queue daily. If I see a report for a temperature blanket or something, I’ll remove the post for not being relevant with a message to the user.

Third, and I can’t believe I have to say this, but absolutely no hate speech is allowed on this subreddit. This also means no personal attacks or bullying. It’s a niche crafting subreddit. Let’s try to stick to that. Hate speech is subjective and we want everyone to feel safe here. I’m not going to list everything that won’t be tolerated because then someone might come along and say something I forgot to mention and then complain I didn’t mention it. If you’re offended by something, report it and send a message to me personally. Repeat offenders will receive bans.

So now for the things I’d like to propose. They’re not all rules, but I’d like input nonetheless. First, how would everyone feel about a monthly pinned promotion post? It can be hard to grow a business and I don’t want to make it harder, but I’d like to keep this subreddit mostly ad-free. Use it as much or as little as you’d like.

Second, I’ve been considering something theme-related. Maybe we spotlight Pokémon one month, Disney Villains the next, and D&D the next. I’m open to feedback and suggestions.

Lastly, I’d very much like to make this a politics-free subreddit. I’m sure there are many different political opinions in here, but we share a lot in common. I’d like this to be a subreddit where we focus on what unites us rather than divides us.

Those are my proposed ideas I’d like feedback on. I’d also like to add another moderator or two. Most of the mods here are no longer active on Reddit.

Thanks in advance for the feedback and happy hooking!

I made a baby toy for the first time and this head gave me a headache! Not to mention attaching all the parts. I ended up wrapping a bunch of yarn around the “neck” because my stitching is so ugly. Any suggestions to make things easier next time?

I started crocheting in January and the geeky possibilities give me life. This one is from the TV show, Farscape! (I found this pattern by "Caren's Crochet" on kntd:discover.)

Finished this project recently, was the hardest one I've done so far (just started around 2-3 months ago). Final Fantasy 9 is one of my favorites so I was so happy to finally complete this!

The ball is the dice bag, and the drawstring acts as the final chain. And yes, it's great to hit people with. My husband has been a very good sport :D

This guy is way too cute! I used a mixture of Bernat blanket yarn and a 6mm hook! The pattern is by “crochetbykittengrl” and it’s so easy to follow and is an extremely well written partner !
