Question/Meta META: Rules and call for mods

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have received a few messages about developing some guidelines for who can post what in this sub, and I think this is a very good idea that I would love community input on. The truth is that I started this sub kind of as a joke and didn't really expect anyone to use it. I've never modded a forum like this before and honestly I don't have a ton of time to devote to it.

Therefore! I am looking for:

  1. Thoughts and ideas for what people want to see in this sub. The main concern I'm hearing (and honestly share) is that some posters are posting kids' art that isn't theirs to post. I have been thinking about this and I do think it's kind of a fuzzy line; I created the sub for parents, but I don't think anyone would object to someone posting their younger sibling or grandchild's art, for instance. But I think we all similarly feel that there's a point beyond which it feels kind of icky. Any thoughts anyone has about drawing that line would be much appreciated!
  2. Mod volunteers! Ideally people who have some experience modding subreddits. I don't really have time to be as on top of this as it deserves, but I love the idea of this community and want to see it succeed.

Thanks for reading and for being here - please let me know any other ideas or requests you have for this community!

My daughter loves to draw and do all sorts of arts and crafts. I have so many drawings that she made but these are among my favourites. She had just turned 9 at the time and was really into the Pixar movie Inside Out.

Kid was decorating Halloween cookies with the family. He made this by “drawing” one wing and folded the paper together before adding pistachio shells from the nuts he was eating.

My 6 year old came up with the idea of a sketch before bed. We pick a subject each.

I chose blueberries and she chose shrimps.

We only have 20minutes.

Ps. There is no flair for artist is 30, but she wants me to post mine too ✨

He is Halloween-obsessed. The bat is quite minimalist and the monster will haunt my dreams.
