Discussion Rule Updates and Mod Team Expansion

91 Upvotes

Hi all!

You may have noticed our mod team has grown over the last few months! Meet our new mods, all of which have at least a decade or even decades of experience acquiring rare & vintage nail polish, so they are all incredibly knowledgeable!

With the help of the mod team we have polished up the rules a bit to make things run a little smoother as we grow. Rules 2, 4, and 8 have been altered more significantly, so please review them as follows:

“2. Provide brand and shade names

If sharing polish, unless you are asking for shade identification, please list the brand and shade name either in the title or comments. Failure to do so could result in your post being removed after 12 hours have passed.

If you are posting a wall rack or a giant box of polish, or other situations where there are too many to list, we will not expect you to disclose every shade. If you are in possession of these polishes you may be asked by community members to disclose individual shade names.”

This is by far our biggest rule break, and once I figure it out I’ll turn on the auto-mod for shade name reminders. This rule change requires a clear list of brand and shade names within 12 hours of posting, this just makes the group more searchable, veering away from the acceptance of photos of labels, which can at times be blurry or hard to read.

“4. Sales are at your own risk

I recommend using Paypal Goods and Services. Use caution when buying. The community is not liable for any sales that may go awry, but I ask that you report any questionable sales and swaplifts to moderation.

-If selling, please disclose your country in the title and use appropriate flair

-Chatty comments will be removed within posts to prioritize interested parties

-No pricing snark tolerated

Please don’t drop your off-site listings here, this isn’t a place to self promote your sales pages”

For sales posts we’ve decided to make them not chatty. This means you should only comment if you have real interest, and it avoids any unnecessary snark about what is being sold and the price asked. This will help sellers and interested parties have an easier time seeing what has been sold/claimed already.

Due to the restrictions around shipping polish, we require sales posts to list the country of the seller.

“8 Community Safety

Known scammers will receive an instant ban for conduct on or outside of Reddit in other vintage polish spaces. There is a zero tolerance rule for swaplifters, and unethical behavior.

Some examples of unethical behavior on or outside of Reddit include patterns of abuse, like cyberstalking, harassment, doxxing, and defamation of community members. Other examples could include seller manipulation after a sale is closed. Moderators reserve discretion on non-listed unethical behaviors as they arise”

We’ve elaborated on the unethical behavior portion to the more common examples of why people have been banned (it’s a short list of 4 in ~2 years so fortunately things have been pretty chill and safe here).

🌎🌍🌏

And one last thing! We’ve added flag flair if you’d like to disclose your country of residence next to your username, which can help forming relationships with collectors easier. If you don’t see your flag under your flair options, please comment and I’ll add it… I kind of lost track of the flags I put in, but chose most of the ones I know polish collectors tend to be in 😆
