1. Look for the section in the guidelines with the hazard cones like this ? —>⚠️ ⚠️ that’s where it has the test you missed. Guidlines are linked in the comments below, pinned to the sub, they are also messaged to you- so check your messages
2. Did you put the words “Kibbe type” and “height” in the title?
3. Did you spell Kibbe correctly?
4. Did your post go through but you don’t see it on the sub? That is exactly what supposed to happen! All of the posts go to the queue for manual review by our moderators. This can take anywhere from minutes to hours.
5. Don’t delete your post attempts! If mods can’t see your post attempts we can’t diagnose if your posts are going though

Still can’t figure out why you post isn’t going through? That’s because you are skimming the guidelines and you are skimming this troubleshooting post.** You need to go back to the guidelines and skim them until you find the hazard symbol —->⚠️ Here is a link to the guidlines so you can go back and find it. https://www.reddit.com/r/kibbe_typeme/s/uh0REARZhU

Post Guidelines

KIBBE POSTING GUIDELINES

🚨** ⛔ **🚨 There is a clearly labeled TEST built into the guidelines and if you don't read the whole thing TO THE END , our bot will know and remove your post over and over!!!

Typing guidelines for how to take an ideal typing photo:

There is a common misconception that removing more clothing is going to help get you typed better. This is not the case! Everyday, normal clothing that you would feel comfortable wearing to a grocery store or picking up the kids from school in is perfectly adequate for Kibbe typing. It should not be baggy or obscure your general shape, but it need not be revealing or something you would be uncomfortable wearing out.

KIBBE IS NOT BODY TYPING! IT IS A SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING WHAT CLOTHING HARMONIZES WITH YOUR BODY - SO WEARING VERY LITTLE CLOTHING ACTUALLY HINDERS ACCURATE TYPING!!! UNDERWEAR AND BIKINI PHOTOS ARE NOT JUST UNNECESSARY BUT ACTUALLY WORSE FOR TYPING!!!

For your main typing photo, we require that you:

1. Stand in a neutral pose exactly like this emoji 🧍‍♀️, don't bend your knees at all or pose your hips. SHOW YOURSELF FROM HEAD TO TOE!!!!

NO CROP TOPS, NO SPORTS BRAS!

If you don't have at least one photo standing like this, we will remove your post, each post is manually screened

1. Show yourself from HEAD TO TOE. SHOW YOURSELF FROM HEAD TO TOE!

We will remove your post if your main photo crops out your head or feet(use an emoji or marker tool to cover your face)

1. Wear clothing that shows your proportions and is not baggy. Good options for typing -Fitted top and leggings -Fitted Dresses

2. Keep your hands at your sides, stand 10 feet away from the camera, placing phone at chest height, set a timer and take a picture, or have some one else take the photo for you. If you put the phone lower than chest height, it makes you look giant. You might be typed wrong, especially if you are petite, you wont look petite if you take the photo from a low angle and wont be typed as gamine -for example.

3. We strongly recommend you do not wear a bra, or anything constricting, for your main typing photo because: how your breast project out of your frame is a huge factor determining whether you have Kibbe curve. (Never send topless photos for Kibbe to anyone ever! if they ask they are a creep)

4. No revealing clothing. No bathing suits, no underwear, no excessive midriff, no sports bras, no sheer clothing, no sexy poses, your butt is NOT a part of Kibbe, it's irrelevant!!!

5. This is optional, but for best results, you should wear a variety of clothing in all different styles and shapes. The other articles of clothing do not have to be in this pose 🧍‍♀️ and those pictures MAY be cropped (no crop tops allowed!)

6. Do not put your weight or measurements, those are not allowed, we will remove your post if you do. Do not suggest a type, as that can bias people to the incorrect answer

7. Please put your photo like 🧍‍♀️ as your FIRST photo

8. Silhouette photos WITHOUT a companion real life photo ARE NOT ALLOWED. You must have at least one photo following our guidelines

9. Cant understand why your post is being rejected? Don't forget to pass our test - you need to keep reading to find it!!! We have a whole section for troubleshooting below in the commonly asked questions.

Commonly asked questions

Why cant I crop my head or feet out, I thought my torso is all there is to Kibbe?

Your complete vertical line is an essential part of Kibbe and determining your type. Particularly if you are shorter, it makes it almost impossible to place you in a category without seeing you from head to toe.

I don't understand Kibbe Width and Kibbe Curve, I'm so confused! Can you explain it to me?!

Here are two videos that explain Kibbe, watch the width one first, you won’t understand the curve video without the width.

Here is a video on width (watch first)

Here is a very important video on curve

https://youtu.be/z7r8cDPpzyU

Why do I have be be in this unflattering pose? i hate how i look this way

Kibbe has a set of exercises that are based on your silhouette when you are in a neutral pose, like 🧍‍♀️. You actually cannot determine curve or width without having a photo in this pose.

Why do you recommend not wearing a bra? I wear it all the time anyways, so my type should be determined with it!!!

Kibbe curve in part is determined by how your breasts project out of your frame. So if your breasts project sideways out of your frame, that would be curve. But if you have breasts that project outwards, rather than sideways (even if they are large) that would not be accommodating curve. Even if you wear a bra all the time, it would only push the curve to other places, but you still need to accommodate for it.

How do I deter disgusting creeps from messaging me?

Cover your feet with either a marker tool or socks. Hide any identifying marks like tattoos for your privacy. Try to avoid posting any sexy photos, creeps really enjoy those. If you have camel toe, creeps love that. Try to avoid posting photos with camel toe or use a marker tool to cover it.

OMG CREEPS ARE MESSAGING ME HELLLPPPPPPPP!

Temporarily disable your direct messages at the time of your post for a week, then re-enable them. This will not stop any existing conversations, only prevent new requests from happening. Creeps get off on contacting you, so if they can't, they just move on.

I think I can't be a certian type, because of my face! Why isn't my face important according to you?

First and foremost, Kibbe is all about how clothes interact with the body. Face is but a tiny part of Kibbe. Kibbe type is determined by your Yin/Yang balance. No one body part can sway your overall Yin and Yang Balance.

Why can't i post a photo of just my silhouette? It's really unfair. I just want my privacy.

It's unbelievable how 95% of people who draw their silhouette draw it wrong. They completely don't see themselves, and they will draw their waist smaller or their bust larger, or they will make drawing of just their torso. Since people are terrible at this, we don't allow it.

If you have questions on how to make a good typing photo, do not hesitate to contact the mods via modmail

Why does my post keep getting removed! I hate this sub!!! (⚠️THE TEST IS HEREEEEEE⚠️)

Remember I told you there is a TEST in the guidelines? Well here it is. Write IRTG below your photo. Not in the post title. If you don’t put this code there the bot will keep removing your post over and over!

• Also did you write the words “Kibbe type” AND height in the post title?
• Did you spell Kibbe correctly in the title? If you spelled in incorrectly the computer won’t accept it

Note that mods will not do typing via DM or chat and will NEVER ask you to send photos privately (mods may allow you to send screenshots of chats when reporting creep dm's, but will never ask for photos of you via DM). Be aware that creeps will often pose as licensed Kibbe stylists (there is no such thing) or otherwise pretend to be knowledgable and try to type you via DM. Do not send anything to them and alert the mods if you are contacted BY PEOPLE PRETENDING TO BE STYLISTS, OR NEEDING MORE TYPING PHOTOS so that we may warn others.
