RULE CHANGE AND SURVEY RESULT ANNOUNCEMENT

Posted: 20 Jan 2019 02:24 AM PST

Hello Everyone!

Mod team here, with some updates on u/CJ_Leaf's survey results and rule changes we are implementing in response to the results.

Here's an album of all the questionnaire results.

Reasoning for the changes

In light of the recent discontent, we have reached the conclusion that our views regarding how the sub needs to be run have been somewhat myopic since it was based solely on our past experiences. We failed to account that times change, reddit has changed, and the demographic of this subreddit has changed. Because of this, we have spent a lot of time discussing how we should move forward with the subreddit.

New Mods!

First, I'd like to welcome some new members to our mod team, u/bbbunny___ and u/eqqy. As a disclaimer, we did not solicit the whitelisters in order to recruit a new moderator, but rather, only reached out to specific candidates who we thought were contributing, non-antagonizing users fit for the job. We are still actively recruiting mods, specifically within the active userbase outside of the whitelist over the next few months, and will reach out to those who we feel are good fits.

Rule Change Reasoning

While only 19% of the subreddit thought that the subreddit was bad, over 45% thought the subreddit was merely decent/mediocre. Over 45% of the users also wanted us to listen to the userbase more in making our changes. While we don't believe that the majority of the subreddit is hugely discontent with the subreddit, and while factoring in response bias to the survey, I think we can all be in agreement that there's no hurt in giving the user's requests a shot.

Please note that the changes you are about to see are not permanent by any means. We are merely testing out the userbase's suggestions for a month to see if they actually work or not. Hopefully, we can use what works, discard what doesn't, to create a better subreddit in the future.

Rule Changes!

WDYWT Changes: The majority of users were against the whitelist system, and were discontent with being gatekept from posting their fits on the front page. Because of this, we are indefinitely suspending the whitelist until further notice, and opening up WDYWT posts for all users on the front page. The catch is that the photo's need to be of a certain quality standard. Specifically, the entire outfit must be visible and clear. Mirror fit pics are allowed, but must adhere to the above condition. The WDYWT megathread will be removed as it is now redundant.
Memes are back: Memes are back! Moderation will be light on these, mainly targeting reposts or off-topic/irrelevant memes. Post memes with your own discretion since it easily buries other content.
Recurring Megathreads suck...: However, we will keep the SQ/GD megathread. We have lowered the text post requirements to 50 characters (not words, characters). The SQ/GD megathread should be used for off-topic talk as well as extremely simple questions such as W2C's, ID's, and "thoughts?" type posts.
Inspo requirements are looser: Inspo can now include single images of celebrities/fashion icons in addition to the full albums we required before. Pictures of singular garments or sneakers, etc, will still be removed however.
Reviews: Reviews will remain largely unchanged, but we are lowering the requirements a bit. Reviews should only be of grails, accessible garments that many are curious about, or comprehensive themed hauls (such as larger thrift hauls, band merch collection, boot collection, etc). Now they only need to be accompanied with a 50 character minimum of either a description or review of the content.
What stays the same? Our old rule 3, don't be an asshole, will obviously still be enforced. Our no advertising without pre-approval guideline will be heavily enforced as well. With greater freedom comes greater responsibility for what you post, and we expect people to uphold the rules and guidelines when they are this lax. Any smaller niche guidlines/rules not mentioned in this post should be assumed to be the same; however, if you have any questions about the rules, shoot us a modmail.

Conclusion

Thank you guys for all the responses on the survey (598! Not too shabby), and those of you who gave actual legitimate feedback and discussion on how to improve the sub. The rule changes go into effect immediately. If we missed anything in terms of updating the sidebar, wiki, or automod, please let us know through r/streetwearmeta or the modmail. We reiterate that this is merely a trial run for us to gauge what works and what doesn't. I think it benefits us all to see how these changes will actually play out. In the meantime, feel free to give us feedback on these changes through this post, or again, r/streetwear meta or the modmail.

Happy clout chasing!
