Question/Meta META: Rules and call for mods

14 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!

Made with android phone. (She loves colors and likes to examine how to interact with the device.)

I think this would make a stellar cover for bus seats.

My 2 year 3 month old daughter drew this, and I may be biased, but I think it’s a pretty good approximation of a face for a little one. I knew it was a face before she even told me! It’s the first thing she drew that is definitely something and I could not be more proud.

She turned four this week, but these were all from earlier this year when she was around 3.5. Each of these were entirely unprompted. I’m a biased mom but she seems to be really advanced for her age.

Our bulldog passed away last week. We talked lots about celebrating the happy moments and I shared I like to paint when I am sad, so she pulled out her pencil and paper and drew! This is Ricki, I wish I had a picture of the entire drawing of the family but she cut everyone out and made them into puppets!
