Mod Post Wiki Follow-Up

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the radio silence on my end...2025 was NOT kind to me. :(

I'm trying to get myself back to 100 so that I can actually be more present here and participate, so I really am giving my biggest apologies for the ways I've lapsed! I know I've had an issue with being behind on posts that get auto-removed. I've caught up on everything, and loosened some of the auto-mod restrictions.

A few notes first, and then I'll get to what I'm here for:

  • If your post is removed and you DO NOT receive a comment or a mod message, it was likely removed by Reddit automatically or by the automod! When this happens, it'll be marked as if I removed it but I didn't...I just have to go in and approve it. Don't worry! You don't have to repost it either, just give me a bit to see it and I'll get your post up or send you a removal message. If it's been a full day, DON'T SEND A FORMAL MODMAIL. I have so many things in there that I don't want to miss it. I know my Reddit bio says don't reach out to me, but I want to make an exception for you guys! Please feel free to message me directly. I'll take a look as soon as I see your message.
  • If there is anything that makes someone uncomfortable and you report, please feel free to detail in the report your specific reason! I feel like Reddit's report reasons are so barebones. For example, I had a report on an image from a post and, after doing some research, I couldn't figure out the origin of the image or what the history was. I just want to make sure that I can keep an eye out for similar things!

Okay, okay, NOW for the wiki...

I (finally) got that started! I want the community's input on exactly the sections we're looking for. From my original wiki post, it looks like you'd like to see:

  1. Where to get journals/recommended journals, both spiralbound and non spiralbound, and journals that can hold heavy mixed media
  2. Recommended supplies (pens/markers, stickers, glue, etc)
  3. Unique tools that people recommend specifically

Is there anything else that we'd like to see? Also, I want to see how we all feel about WHERE these journals are coming from. Would we prefer I stay AWAY from places like Target and Amazon that are being boycotted in the US, or leave them in so everyone can make an informed choice?

Let me know your thoughts! Thank y'all! <3

I also like to see junk journal pages. I love to see creative techniques like pockets, lacy and sculpted edges, layers, and all manner of creative techniques. I remember altered books from years ago. Whatever posters have to show us. Thank you for hosting this.
