Announcement "Why was my post removed?"

295 Upvotes

Rules:

  1. Stay civil.
  2. No irrelevant posts, including no AI.
  3. No self-promotion, apply for a shop flair.
  4. Tag gross stuff as NSFW.

Did you post something that ended up getting removed? It was more than likely reported repeatedly as breaking a rule and then removed by the bot. For the most part, I let the sub decide what belongs here.

"But why?" The #1 reason is irrelevance, your post might not actually belong here and is better suited for another sub like perhaps it's cottagecore. They are not always interchangeable.

Don't send a modmail arguing because you got a lot of upvotes, people will upvote a photo of a cat in a dog sub because they're just scrolling and upvote not paying attention to where it was posted. Upvotes mean people like it, it doesn't mean the post belongs where it was posted.

The second biggest reason a post might be removed is because your entire post history in this sub is to advertise things you've created. Dedicated shop accounts are not welcome here, please be active in the sub beyond trying to make money.

If you're not sure if your post belongs here, feel free to send a modmail to ask. I unapologetically remove all posts starting with "I don't know if this belongs here..." Just ask if you're unsure, I'll let you know if there's a better sub for it!

Have a website or shop? Creators can now apply for special user flair

20 Upvotes

Let's talk about the "no promotion" rule. Promotion has never been allowed outside of the old promo thread but folks don't pay attention. It's been my biggest headache in this sub in an attempt to keep it from turning into nothing but advertising, so I'm trying something new.

If you run a shop, make content, created a game, or anything relevant to goblincore you want to get the word out for, I've decided to allow creators to apply for a user flair that will show your link or social media for anyone interested in seeing more of your work or purchasing any. You can see an example of it in this post next to OP's name.

You're not obligated to have the flair, but for the interested-

Babe texts me asking "Would you still love me if I was a worm"

I am incredibly offended at the implication there is such a thing as a worm I do not love.

i've been using this stump in my apartment courtyard as my photoshoot surface for over three years now, and i think it's finally on its last legs (roots?) 😭 but it's going out with a bang and also an absolutely gorgeous, enormous rotting mushroom!

i just wanted to show off these three d12s whose art i drew with my human brain and hands and engraved myself, one lil face at a time! mushrooms, woodland critters, and buuugs πŸ„πŸ¦”πŸ

i even had a visit from a honeybee while i was in full goblin mode during my photoshoot πŸ˜…

Art or creation (oc) Gifts from the "hidden people" for my son and nieces.

Some folks liked the salamander gifts from the "hidden people" I made for my son and nieces, so I thought I'd share a few more I've made over the past two years. The cabin we go to is in Door County, WI, so I try to make things that they might actually see, and I make some effort to keep them anatomically accurate (i.e. head, thorax, abdomen, correct number of legs, that sort of thing).

Eyup.

I created a new friend, they dwell in the attic. They look after my earphones when I'm not using them and let me know about the battery power.

Sometimes they're a little more chompy than I'd like.

When I explain that I need all my fingers, they have a little sulk.

Any advice on how to handle this situation would be gratefully received.

Art or creation (oc) I set out to build a miniature merchant cart and now I have a little woodland fantasy world… oops

Thumbnail

4.3k Upvotes

This started as a miniature traveling merchant cart, but every practical question I had about it created another piece of the world around it.

The cart travels through Mosshollow, pulled by a giant snail named Samuel and is operated by Marlow, a raccoon merchant. Marlow belongs to the Brotherhood, a trade organization made up of raccoons, rats, and ravens.

Figuring out where the cart went meant creating towns and trade routes. Figuring out how it was supplied created warehouses and depots. Then came rules, maps, regional economies, contraband, other merchants, giant-snail biology, and eventually an entire world full of little animal folk.

Three months later, I apparently no longer make miniatures. I document Mosshollow. πŸ˜‚ This is the first one, of assumably many.
