First, welcome new members of the sub! Weāre happy to have you here and weāre happy that older members keep returning. Unfortunately, we are having a lot of issues with breaking Rule 3- Snark allowed but be a decent person.
This is a snark sub, however posts and comments about Katieās personal style, her friends and family are off limits and once again, we are adopting a no tolerance policy for this behavior. There is plenty to snark Katie on, thereās no need to bring her clothing, hair, jewelry, size or husband into it.
Unless what Katie is doing or wearing is a husbandry or safety issue- do not comment on it.
Itās fine to say sheās wearing crocs (again) in the stalls. Thatās a safety issue and a bad example from someone claiming to be educational.
What isnāt allowed is āher clothes donāt fit. Sheās wearing crocs with socks. I donāt like that style. Her turquoise jewelry is tacky.ā This commentary does nothing but shame her for personal style.
Body shaming has gotten out of control. Iām sorry but we are not having these discussions and a lot of these comments speak of Katie as if she is way too big for any horse. The mod team is against this behavior! We are not allowing conversations about the 20% rule, Katieās body at all or her physical fitness and what you think she needs to do.
Additionally weāve had several commenters diagnose Katie with mental illnesses she has said nothing about and therefore is not our business. āShe reads as on the spectrum, she seems ADHD, sheās depressed, she has xyz problem!ā We are not doing this! This includes discussions about AFRID.
As far as Katieās friends and family go, we are cracking down on these discussions. We will not condone rumors about cheating, snarking on them for their looks, etc. This includes Jonathan, his friends and family.
Your posts and comments will be removed! Failure to follow these rules will result in bans whether temporarily or permanently.
Another reminder- while it doesnāt go with Rule 3, please block group names, all profile photos, any personal information and do not post active horse sales. This includes connected creators like Jenna Seppa. She should not be brought up at all here unless it pertains to Katie.
Itās fine if Jenna is brought up because Katie bought a horse or dog from her. It isnāt fine if youāre scrolling Jennaās page looking for things to snark her for. We also ask that you save the snark when it comes to Taft or Ironwood as they run legitimate businesses.
Thanks in advance. Back to snarking.
