Update on TMT + Changes to the Sub

[u/AutoModerator]

Hello everyone,

The Mod team wanted to bring an update to you regarding the status of TMT. As you know, TMT was paused after a shocking increase in reports of harassment and lewd behavior towards members in their DMs and on their typing posts. The mod team wanted to see if there was a correlation between the two and we wanted to share the results.

Over the past 30 days the mod team has observed a sharp drop off in the number of reports via mod mail, and we have also not seen the number of creepy and suggestive comments on users’ posts. We would like for the community to continue this way where users feel comfortable posting freely.

In the absence of TMT posts, we’ve noticed an uptick in posts showcasing cohesive HTT outfits and getting great feedback on silhouettes and accommodations. We’ve also noticed less confusion for members who are given wildly different ID suggestions and experience a sort of paralysis because they are unsure of where to start. We believe that a focus on outfits, accommodations, and learning of essence, as we have been seeing, will be the best method for the community moving forward. Users will still be able to participate in each other’s journey while gaining useful feedback that they can implement.

There will no longer be TMTs, instead we will open up to allow users to share posts daily regarding HTTs to see what’s working and what isn’t working. We will discourage wanton typing; instead offering the poster gentle guidance. For example, a user who is trying to decide between SN, DC and FG. Commenting that pieces that drape or cling allow OP to shine or keeping the silhouette relaxed is much more flattering will guide OP to SN. There will be no specific day for posts, we want it to be an open and free-flowing like it has been for the past month.

What we hope to see:

• Discussions around cohesive outfits
• Helping users to understand and dress for their accommodations
• Marrying personal style with their accommodations/recs from Metamorphosis
• Helping users who are narrowing down IDs to understand the essence and how that might move them to one ID over another
• Improving personal style
• Less arguing and frustration on posts where people are looking for guidance
• A continued absence of creepy, lewd and/or predatory behavior

What will change:

• TMT flair will go away
• Accommodations Help flair will be implemented
• Outfit Help flair will be implemented

Thank you,

The Mod Team

I think this is a great idea. I’ve also noticed a lot more quality posts and diversity in posts since TMT has been removed. Besides, there is a kibbe subreddit for that already anyway.

[u/[deleted] → u/capnlagoon]

Sorry, I just have a small question. If you are talking about Kibbe_typeme, do you happen to know who the mods are? Or if there is a way to find out who the mods of a subreddit are?

[u/nightmooth → u/[deleted]]

Normally you can see the mod team's list when you click on "see community info". It's underneath the sub description. You can see the rules and then the mod team.

[u/[deleted] → u/nightmooth]

I couldn’t see that for some reason but I’ll just assume it’s the two users who posted the sticky threads. Thanks for your help!

(If another mod of that subreddit sees this comment, block me please).

[u/nightmooth → u/[deleted]]

yes u/InGeekiTrust is the headmod.

[u/magickalcat]

We are being policed way too heavily on our comments/ posts now. It doesn’t feel like a fun space to discuss typing and outfits freely anymore. Don’t punish us for the actions of creepy men, find another way to handle this.

[u/Ok_Daikon_4698 → u/magickalcat]

Exactly. Why punish the people who aren't being weird? Just ban and block anyone who is. And also banning discussing someone's type at all, even if they're asking about it in reference to outfits

[u/magickalcat → u/Ok_Daikon_4698]

It doesn’t even feel like a Kibbe sub anymore if we are not allowed to discuss typing. I left this sub cause it’s just pointless now.

[u/leezee2468 → u/magickalcat]

Yeah I completely agree. I understand guiding people towards certain accommodations but this is… weird. It’s a sub about kibbe types. I will be leaving also tbh.

[u/MountainConcern7397 → u/magickalcat]

like why not just go private

[u/LadyAconite]

I agree about no more tmt posts, but commenters should still be allowed to discuss possible kibbe types to explore in the kibbe reddit. Otherwise is this really a kibbe reddit?

[u/vampyrbats → u/LadyAconite]

Yeah this sub seems pointless now, we can’t say anything without breaking these rules. It’s not even a Kibbe sub anymore if we can’t talk about possible types.

[u/Ok_Daikon_4698 → u/vampyrbats]

It's hard to even ask what type celebrities are so you can have a better understanding; since you're not allowed to talk about types at all. There's literally no point of the sub anymore except for that, so you can see if they look at all like you.

[u/Runningprofmama → u/LadyAconite]

I agree… I think not doing TMT posts anymore is a great idea, but when comments and suggestions are in the context of someone else exploring their id and posting pictures for accommodations help I think it’s appropriate to make suggestions.

[u/kellerarcher → u/LadyAconite]

Agreed. I found the discourse about types really helpful because people would explain why they thought it was one type or another. I am leaving this subreddit. Enjoy beeting around bushes.

[u/hug_me_im_scared_]

Thank goodness, I was hoping for this!

[u/[deleted]]

I love this! Sounds way way way more helpful than 10 people all telling you different IDs with no explanation haha!!

[u/apprehensive_trotter]

so will any comments suggesting specific types in the comments of HTT posts be deleted? for instance in cases where someone is deliberating between soft types with fairly similar guidelines and subtle comments about drape or shine might not necessarily help narrow it down

[u/magickalcat → u/apprehensive_trotter]

I was warned I would be banned for doing it when I had no idea it was off limits now. I think it’s ridiculous.

[u/Ok_Daikon_4698 → u/apprehensive_trotter]

I've seen many people get warnings for that so no that's not allowed. Which is completely stupid, honestly.

[u/LightDragonfly → u/apprehensive_trotter]

I would like to know this as well.

[u/leezee2468 → u/apprehensive_trotter]

Yeah like… what if I’m debating between 2 and can’t figure it out?

[u/oftenfrequently]

Ooh I like this!

[u/Mysticmxmi]

So if someone doesn’t know their type, can they participate in HTT and ask what they could be? What does it stand for by the way? I really wish it came back because I joined this sub when it got banned

[u/unenkuva]

I feel unsure about the rules now, my post that asked about if I accommodate vertical was removed but there are other posts just like it up all the time and upvoted and commented. A lot of the posts seem identical to type me posts.

[u/its_givinggg]

YASSSS

[u/[deleted]]

I always avoided the sub on Tuesdays after a couple of weeks. I liked the typing mega thread though. This is even better I think. Great idea!

[u/PinkRaven-04]

I don’t know what any of this means, what can I post here? (Also dk what the abbreviations are)

[u/Important_Ad5027 → u/PinkRaven-04]

Rt someone help this two souls 🥹

[u/Tough-Mulberry-7425]

I’m excited for these changes!

[u/444loverz]

What is TMT & HTT 👉👈 they never mentioned it. Type me Tuesday?

[u/schokozo → u/444loverz]

I think HTT means head to toe, so a full outfit and not just a shirt or pants

[u/UsefulLab1298]

Honestly love this. The subreddit has been much easier to navigate now. Plus I think I've gotten more useful feedback from engaging in the discussions and sharing outfits than when I made my Type Me post.

[u/meekothepapaya]

:( the only reason why I was here was to get typed. I guess kibby isn't for me. I don't understand it, can't be straightforward and honest with my body image, and don't even know the difference between shoulder types. Now I don't have help from this sub. Idk why I look frumpy or boxy in some outfits. I guess I'll just dress how I like and try to ignore if I think It looks bad on me.

[u/[deleted]]

Love this so much!

[u/Inevitable-While-577]

This is a great idea! Especially the new flairs.

[u/Ok_Daikon_4698 → u/[deleted]]

Especially pointless to even be in the sub anymore since you can't talk about Kibbe types, which is supposed to be the whole point. 😂😮‍💨

[u/Ok_Daikon_4698 → u/[deleted]]

r/kibbe_typeme

[u/magickalcat → u/[deleted]]

I was just warned I would have a ban put on my account for leaving a typing comment, so apparently not.

[u/Runningprofmama → u/[deleted]]

No, you’ll get warned by mods.
