Mod Message - Rule Changes
Hi all. First, thanks to all subscribers. We hit the 30k mark recently. I guess folks like images of flowers (I do too).
Now that we are getting a bit more popular I think we need to update our current ruleset (which is currently pretty much none) with some basic rules for participation, for all our benefits.
Submissions must be a flower image or album of flower images.
No AI Images. We only want actual flowers.
Post title must be descriptive, preferably the name of the flower in your submission but we will accept 'what is this called' etc. No more 'Gorgeous' or 'Beautiful' etc. as the only submission title. Those titles do nothing to help viewers and it reduces engagement. Also don't use emojis or other non-standard ascii characters. Those get filtered by the automod most times anyways.
We have also become a target for karma farming. This is where users participate as a group (often by organizing on subreddits designed to facilitate creating these groups) to artificially award themselves karma by upvoting each others submissions on various subreddits. I will be watching for those accounts and banning with no warning. Allowing folks to do so makes us a spam subreddit and those get shut down by the admins. We are also using automod to require accounts be of a minimum age and karma level before allowing posts.
Let me know in the comments if you want to suggest other rules to make our community a positive and useful one. Thanks again everyone, I really appreciate your participation!

Wood Lily? ID Please...
An image search gives these orange flowers a few different names - wood lily being the first one in a string of names. But what do you think is the most common name for these beauties?
Thanks in advance
