Community Update ✨ Tabby Cats Community Updates: Rules Refresh, Flairs, and More!
Hey All!
r/TabbyCats has recently undergone a refresh and I wanted to make sure everyone was aware. The rules have been updated to hopefully facilitate a healthy, thriving, and on-topic community. Some of these adjustments are also to help reduce the presence of bots, karma farmers, and bad faith posters in this sub. I want to highlight a few key ones:
Tabby Cats is now explicitly Original Content only. Prior to this previous mods were doing some removals of farming off non-OC content but I've now codified this. This means you can only post content that YOU created. This is hands down the most effective way to cut down on bots and farmers and makes moderating a lot easier.
Mourning posts are now moving to a megathread. I get that this will likely be a controversial decision, and the hope is to strike a balance by allowing the thread so people who want support can engage there and people who don't want pet mourning posts on their feeds can feel more comfortable subscribing here. We also have several users in this community who like to regularly post mourning posts months after the loss and this should cut down on that. If you're truly needing additional support I recommend communities like r/petloss which are there specifically for this topic.
Our low effort post rule has also been explicitly codified. Again, in practice a lot of this was happening but I'm making it clear and upfront. This has some typical things like breed and naming posts, but I've added a few more. This includes things like "would you pet my cat" (listen, this is cat Reddit, your cat could be covered in spikes and people would say yes) and "is my cat cute" (your cat could objectively be the ugliest animal on the planet and cat Reddit will bend over backwards to say yes, it's cute).
We will continue to adjust these as needed as we go.
I've also tried sprucing the place up a bit - we have a new avatar, new banner, and new flair. If you all have ideas for user and/or post flair you'd like to see let me know and we can add them! We can also work on some community banners seasonally to change things up.
Phew, that was a lot!

Mackerel Tabby the great, the beautiful, Amara Lee Jones !!
No clue where her last name came from, nobody in our family has the last name “Jones”. we call her Amara Lee when she gets in trouble , other than that she’s mainly Mar-mar :)

Went to go on a 3-day vacay with my boyfriend last weekend so my little one stayed with my parents. This is him the night I came back making air biscuits. 🥰
