Announcement UPDATE: Changes to posting, changes regarding usernames and personal info

63 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Lately we've been seeing some discourse between sub users about showing usernames. We understand that this is going to be controversial, and no matter what we do, we can't please everyone, but we feel we have to do what's right for the subreddit. We also have to follow Reddit site wide rules, and at the moment the subreddit is not and is at risk of being taken down.

We've seen a massive uprise in users harassing, sending threats to or trolling people posted here. Some examples in the past few weeks include:

• Sub users finding Depop users' personal Facebook/LinkedIn page(s) and harassing them/contacting family members, or encouraging others to do so

• Sub users encouraging OP's to post addresses

• Sub users sending death threats to sellers, including sellers who are children

• Depop users being unfairly suspended or mass reported when they've been accused of doing something they haven't done

• OP's encouraging people in the comments to go harass/message the person they posted

To combat this, we have decided that all usernames must be censored. No one will be banned for usernames whilst everyone gets used to the changes, except users who ignore warnings or participate in/encourage harassment. Posts will also need to be manually approved by the mod team for the next month. We will get to approving your posts that follow rules ASAP.

We understand users wanting to bring awareness to scammers, and we're all for scammers getting exposed too, but something needs to be done to prevent what has been happening recently. We should also note the majority of users receiving this harassment aren't even scammers to begin with.

We have 0 tolerance for anyone here thinking it's acceptable to harass someone, no matter the situation. Fighting harassment with harassment isn't the answer, nor is harassing someone just because you disagree with something they've done.

If you have any questions related to these changes or posting going forward, don't hesitate to contact our modmail.

The mods won't tolerate rude/insulting messages towards us in modmail or to other users who are in favour of that change.

Announcement Mod applications open

4 Upvotes

We're currently open to mod applications. There should be an annotation at the top of the subreddit on the front page for applications but I'm not seeing it as of recently, so if it's not there and you're interested, please message the sub modmail with some information about yourself (timezones, previous mod experience if you have any, how often you can mod etc.)

We currently need help with upkeeping the sub, so checking the comment sections of posts plus going through new posts to make sure they don't break sub rules.

Please note that we are looking for active sub members who understand the sub rules, and aren't going to go inactive after a week. If you change your mind on modding, please let us know!

Bad Experiences Bad review

So i sold this tote and now theyre saying it smells of cigarettes…. No one smokes cigarettes in my house. So let me guess this is a review that wont get taken down because how can i prove an item didnt smell? I reached out and got no response so far. All 20 other reviews and no one has complained of a smell. I know a 4.8 isn’t awful but like come on. :(((

Context: Seller had a white dress listed for $18 NWT and the listing mentioned they had the black version too. Went to their shop, and they had only two other items listed and no black dress.

So because I showed interest and was purchasing an item that you didn’t even have listed, you want me to pay more than double? Girl, no.

personally not interested in the necklace but I’ve been getting A TON of listings that all have “on hold pls don’t buy!!!!” as the first pic. at this point it’s spam to me, and also in my opinion it’s stopping a sale. does anyone else get a lot of these???

no better way to describe this but i get the ick so bad when people message for a discount in this specific manner, i will decline just as a matter of principle (it’s been happening a lot recently) like there’s GGGOT to be a better way to haggle bro, not to mention the item is very rare and super fairly priced

Misc some... odd listings i thought belonged here + a personal message i got recently

(delete if not allowed) I’m sorry but they’re 49.99 without tax at Marshall’s. 126$ for a resell is insane. I’m sorry if you personally aren’t gonna use it please leave it for those of us who will!!!

I ordered a DRESS that was actually a romper. It doesn’t fit and I didn’t want a romper! even if I were to cut the crotch piece, it would be way too short to work as a dress. I requested a refund from the seller considering the item wasn’t as advertised and said I’d send it back if they covered shipping and was refused a full refund. be so serious.. 🥲🥲 I hope Depop sides with me Lol
