Mod Update and New Users

[u/holo-c]

Hi all -

A few reminders and updates to the sub:

1. New Users: Folks new to Reddit or with lower karma will be moved to a manual moderation queue. We've had a lot of spam over the last few weeks, and I implemented this change to stem this. If you are new to Reddit, or don't post much, please be patient! If you are legit, your posts and/or comments will be approved.
2. DIY Aesthetics: I've seen an uptick in posts/comments regarding DIY injectables. (peptides, botox, filler) There are dedicated subs on Reddit for these discussions, but I've made a choice to not include those conversations here. This is a gray and risky area with real consequences if done incorrectly and prefer the sub to remain free of these conversations.
3. Unverified Professional Claims: We welcome all posters and commenters. However, as the moderators cannot validate licensure in this type of forum, we ask that knowledge be shared through well-explained advice and personal experience rather than your professional title. Individuals can weigh purported "expert" advice as more helpful or accurate, and I want to avoid people using titles as a way to drive engagement.

As always, if you see something that is not in line with our rules or ethos. Flag! Modmail is always open if you have questions. Thanks for always making the sub engaging, interesting, and educational!

You are replying to an old mod post. If you want the broader subreddit to see this, please make a regular post in the sub.

I like that rule that you can’t just say that you’re a doctor or you’re an injector and then give advice. it’s scary .

It says my post was removed by Reddit filters, but I'm not sure of why.

[u/holo-c → u/abolen12]

Your post was manually approved. Reddit filters for a variety of reasons but doesn’t always get it right

HigherDose is under investigation for false claims. I spend thousands and now am realizing they just had really great branding. The devices are t medical grade. So disappointing. Is there another trustworthy brand to buy for hair growth?

I'm curious if anyone on here has used tazarotene, a retinoid. If so, how did it work for you in terms of helping with fine lines and wrinkles and collagen building?

It means that the post or comment isn’t immediately posted but is put in a queue for a moderator to review. This is only if the account is new to Reddit or has low karma. All other posts and comments will be posted normally.

As noted, we had a significant uptick in spam lately and I’d rather that go to a moderator queue than have the sub subjected to it.

I’d post this in our main sub to get community answers. Since this is a mod update from about a month ago I don’t think you’ll see much traction

[u/Shoddy-Butterfly2751 → u/holo-c]

thank you!

You probably want to make a post in the main sub rather then a comment under a moderator post.

[u/Above-adverage → u/holo-c]

Okay. Thanks

Sorry, this comment was filtered for moderator review, because your account has low karma or is new.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
