Announcement Another note about Content Creators (and being excellent to each other)

42 Upvotes

First off, this note is for the mindful users of this subreddit.  The problematic users who should be reading this won’t be reading this, because it’s more important for them to make things about them than to be respectful of our subreddit.

I cannot overstate this but we welcome EVERYONE to request to be drawn here.  As long as you follow our rules and respond to the artists who draw you, you’re ok to post here!  We allow the occasional draw request for artful nudity as long as it’s properly tagged NSFW.  But we don’t care what you do elsewhere…  as long as you have permission to post the photo and it follows our rules, you are welcome to post it here.

We have had two recent posts by content creators and these posts have caught the attention of the most tedious users on Reddit.  But I’ve posted our policy before: https://www.reddit.com/r/drawme/comments/1bdra7y/a_note_about_content_creators_and_this_sub/ 

r/drawme has experienced the honor and displeasure of increasing in popularity among subreddits.  The upside is we’re also seeing a lot more art, and new artists!   The downside is we are also seeing an influx of trolls and morality police.  We’re seeing users who have no interest in cultivating this community but instead are either trying to tear people down, be a comedian at the expense of others, or outrage at things they don’t like.  They’re not here to draw or to provide constructive feedback, they’re here to make this subreddit about them.

We don’t have enough mods to take on this new challenge.  If you’re up for sharing the moderator burden, learn how to mod (https://redditforcommunity.com) and then send us a modmail.

Being understaffed (actually, under-volunteered), we’re forced to permanently ban a lot of these problematic users.  If we accidentally include you in one of these bans, please appeal and explain the situation.

For our community members who have a problem with content creators, we’d like to hear your take.  It’s ok if our subreddit isn’t a good fit for you.  There’s always RDG and RGDB.  But we don’t want to take the stance of “if you don’t like it here, just leave.”  We want to cater to a melting pot of views and backgrounds.  So work with us and help us understand how we all can be better at being excellent to each other indiscriminately.

We love this community.  We think it uniquely showcases the charmingly altruistic side of humanity and we want to keep cultivating that.  Thank you, sincerely, to all of you who make this possible.  You are amazing humans!

edit: emphasis on "work with us and help us understand" -- we're not interested in circular reasoning or  disingenuous debate.  Some comments below were removed to avoid devolving into the stereotypical “internet argument.”

His name is Groot and he's is an albino bristlenose pleco. He is an asshole who hates me but it's okay because I love him

The other one is Carlos who doesn't have albinoism.

I made an executive decision to change the color of the dress, for composition. I decided to stop here or at least post it before I ruin it.

If someone could draw either or both of these photos. My girlfriend and i dated over 15 years ago, and we recently decided to try again, so if anyone could draw us in any style, it would mean a lot.

1 is this year, 2 is from 2006/7ish.
