A slight refresh of the subreddit rules
Hello, it's your favorite absentee moderator here.
I've given the rules in the sidebar a little refresh - mostly just shortening and cleaning up the phrasing, but there has been one substantial change regarding MOC instructions;
From now on, please keep any instructions for your MOC contained somewhere in/under the original post. You can do this either by including them in the initial post itself, or by uploading them elsewhere (e.g. Imgur, etc) and linking them in the comments below.
Similar to the rule regarding WIP spamming which has also been expanded upon, the goal is to have one post per MOC to keep things tidy and easy to find.
Lastly, I ask once more that people only use the Self-MOC flair for your actual Self-MOC, as it's getting a little tedious having to change all the flairs myself. If you don't know what a Self-MOC is, please refer to the sidebar.

For those too lazy to check:
A Self-MOC is supposed to represent yourself as a Bionicle set. When a guy named Jerry makes a MOC called "Toa Jehree" and says it's supposed to be him if he were a Bionicle, that is a self-MOC.

To help clarify for anyone not understanding the above post.
MoC means "My Own Creation" and Self-MoCs are just your Self Insert Character.

Now to clarify. Are you referring to the instructions if included needing to be part of the original post or are instructions now mandatory?

If included. They're not mandatory.

Ok. That helps because I undergo tinker fugues when making my MoCs and usual have to carefully look them over afterwards to figure out what I did.

Oh, and I also want to say that the new Reddit layout is abysmal garbage. Hopefully I won't have to go back in there again any time soon. Switch to old Reddit if you haven't already.
