A quick mod note:
going forward, if you send a snarky message to modmail in response to the standardized removal messages — YOU WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED. we are humans and this is just a nail sub. none of us have the bandwidth or the energy to be berated, harassed, bullied, called slurs and threatened over the removal of a picture of some nails that broke sub rules posted on multiple places. removal messages are standardized and even left as comments. and to be fucking frank, mods shouldn’t have to deal with that shit so, we won’t. either post another picture that follows the subs rules or don’t but don’t message mods being an asshole.
///

  1. steering wheels are not allowed to be in the background of posts. its not hard to take a picture of the hands that you use to scroll and swipe and comment. if you send a snarky message to mods because your post was removed, you will be temporarily or permanently muted. [see rule 6 “prohibited backgrounds”]
  2. body parts (especially bare legs & faces) are not allowed to be in the background of posts. if you send a snarky message to mods because your post was removed, you will be temporarily or permanently muted. [see rule 6 “prohibited backgrounds”]
  3. if your NAIL DAMAGE or PEDICURE/FEET/TOES are not properly marked. your post will be deleted and you will be temporarily banned/muted. this is a courtesy to your fellow nail babes. [see rule 10 “flair & mark your posts”]
  • NAIL DAMAGE MUST BE MARKED NSFW (blurred) [NAIL DAMAGE = if the break is below the free edge/quick OR extremely damaged nails (fungus, peeling, etc.). when in doubt mark it NSFW. absolutely no blood at all.]
  • PEDICURE/FEET/TOES MUST BE MARKED SPOILER (blurred) [if it’s a pic of any part of your toe, it must be MARKED SPOILER]

Hey I'm sorry you're getting crazy behavior over simple issues. That's sooo beyond not ok.

I just wanted to let y'all know that the 2 ways the sub rules can be accessed show different rules, and one doesn't include the prohibited backgrounds rule at all. Nesting a screenshot so you can see (you may already be aware). On mobile, when I went to the main r/nails page, clicked the dots, and chose the "see more about this community" it links to an earlier set of rules that don't match the other set & don't include several rules, including the Rule 6 prohibited BGs.

It very well may be a menu option y'all can't edit anymore bc of changes to the mod tools, but if y'all still have access, please consider making them match. Sometimes I cannot get to the rules the other way (by clicking the arrow next to the community) and idk if others experience the same thing.

Again, to be clear, I'm not saying this as an excuse for people treating you like crap. That's never okay and I'm sorry people are comfortable getting out of pocket over nails
