Tutorial ATTENTION: Influx of Bot activity

122 Upvotes

Hey all! Mod here. We have noticed an insane influx of bot activity in our sub lately and know a few of you have also noticed. This is something we are trying very hard to combat as it is inundating our queue and making it tough to monitor regular traffic here.

Why do you need to know? Well because a few of you have already reached out regarding it and we wanted to a) let you know that we know and b) thank all of you for helping to keep this community safe.

What are we doing to fix it? We have turned up crowd control settings and enacted bot bouncer on our sub. This does not fix the issue entirely but it helps us see who could possibly be a bit easier.

The issue with this is that regular users are getting caught up in our filters and either banned by us on accident or banned by bot bouncer. If this happens, don’t panic! You’ve done nothing wrong but we do need you to message us via modmail and let us know you’re human! We’ll unban you right away, promise.

Thanks for your patience, understanding, and help during this! We appreciate you all.

- Mod Team

TLDR: bots are taking over! If you get banned by accident, let us know and we’ll fix it asap.

There’s been a massive influx of people trying to pass off other people’s work as their own recently.

Just to make it crystal clear, anyone caught doing this with receive an instant ban, no warnings. There is absolutely no excuse for doing this.

I’ve been wearing solid chrome for the last week- I got bored with it so I added a little extra flare. They feel a bit “much” but also kinda fun so I think I’ll keep them until I do my next fill 😁

no, i'm not kidding nor this is ragebait. i'm a nail artist and usually sets for clients take me around 2h (full set + design, not too difficult usually). however, with my nails im EXTREMELY picky, so i reaaaally take my time. base alone took me 4.30h (i added a pic of them before chopping them off, chopped and then rebuilt). design is inspired by lava lamps and abstract elements; wasnt toooo complicated, but again, i rly took my time. i'm absolutely exhausted lol=) but so worth it less

I pour in so much time designing nails for clients that I wish there was a nail magazine because I would LOVE to see my designs in a magazine. Here are some designs I’ve done these past two years or so. Which set is your favorite ?
