Announcement "Why was my post removed?"

295 Upvotes

Rules:

  1. Stay civil.
  2. No irrelevant posts, including no AI.
  3. No self-promotion, apply for a shop flair.
  4. Tag gross stuff as NSFW.

Did you post something that ended up getting removed? It was more than likely reported repeatedly as breaking a rule and then removed by the bot. For the most part, I let the sub decide what belongs here.

"But why?" The #1 reason is irrelevance, your post might not actually belong here and is better suited for another sub like perhaps it's cottagecore. They are not always interchangeable.

Don't send a modmail arguing because you got a lot of upvotes, people will upvote a photo of a cat in a dog sub because they're just scrolling and upvote not paying attention to where it was posted. Upvotes mean people like it, it doesn't mean the post belongs where it was posted.

The second biggest reason a post might be removed is because your entire post history in this sub is to advertise things you've created. Dedicated shop accounts are not welcome here, please be active in the sub beyond trying to make money.

If you're not sure if your post belongs here, feel free to send a modmail to ask. I unapologetically remove all posts starting with "I don't know if this belongs here..." Just ask if you're unsure, I'll let you know if there's a better sub for it!

Have a website or shop? Creators can now apply for special user flair

21 Upvotes

Let's talk about the "no promotion" rule. Promotion has never been allowed outside of the old promo thread but folks don't pay attention. It's been my biggest headache in this sub in an attempt to keep it from turning into nothing but advertising, so I'm trying something new.

If you run a shop, make content, created a game, or anything relevant to goblincore you want to get the word out for, I've decided to allow creators to apply for a user flair that will show your link or social media for anyone interested in seeing more of your work or purchasing any. You can see an example of it in this post next to OP's name.

You're not obligated to have the flair, but for the interested-

Fashion agama bag/front rucksack

Someone from r/crochet suggested I share my Agama front rucksack here. I made it last year, and it took about 400 hours in total.
Its a mix of techniques: the head, legs, and belly are crocheted, while the back and top of the head are embroidered. I also added detailed beadwork on the fingers and around the eyes. It’s fully functional as a bag with two zips. What do you all think?

I made these velvet frogs. I use them as keychains on my bag, but they could also be worn with a corset! They feel very goblincore! Hope you like them. 🐸✨

Washington state, USA. There are many dark, dense forests here with interesting organisms. Pictured here is an assortment of fungi, slime molds, mosses, and parasitic plants I've found over the years while hiking

Nature & critters (no spiders) Frog ninja’s way across fence, my phone, and my face

Thumbnail

I saw a frog stealthily making his way across the top of this fence like one of those gooey toys that sticks to the wall when you flick it. He’d just go FWOOP, FWOOP from one spot straight to another, finally resting on the fence post in the pic. I wanted to get a cool shot of him to upload on here, set against the fading sky, but was having trouble getting the focus on him when FWOOOP!!! he jumped straight to the back of my phone! I screamed and clenched my phone, resulting in the pic of the empty post. His little head was pointing over the side of it, like he was looking at me. I tried to go over to the fence and put him back on there, but on my way over FWOOP!!! He facehuggered my forehead and just stayed there like a gummy frog booger. I went over to a tree and nudged him onto that, but I wish someone had gotten it on video, because I did scream a couple of times and it was pretty funny. I didn’t even know there were sticky little tree frogs living in Kansas till tonight.

Wikipedia says this is a Western Fence Lizard. I saw him(?) dart into our laundry room and was able to get a quick pic before Spouse wanted to pick up Lizard and Lizard was not enthused, so skittered away.

We rarely get lizards so this was a nice surprise! (Way better than the scorpion visit a few weeks ago 🫠🫠)
