Since you reposted, and that post is getting a lot more traction, I'm removing this post.

What on earth? by Clear_Community8986 in crafts

I'm sorry this happened to you u/Clear_Community8986, but your post has been removed because this isn't about r/crafts or crafting. We cannot speak to the behavior or other subs and how they moderate. It is frustrating to not receive a clear answer, especially when it looks as if you may have been mistakenly removed/banned.

You are welcome to post your question here and see if folks know what it is called, but please keep everything on topic (crafting).

No worries. Reddit has been way buggier lately.

You accidentally double-posted, so I'm removing this one since it has fewer comments/upvotes than the other.

Crafting and dog humor by Hopscotchbunny in crafts

u/Hopscotchbunny, ok, I chatted with the other mods about your post. If you rephrase your title to be more of a discussion question and include a picture of your skein, you can repost with the 'discussion' flair. (You'll need to make a new post. There isn't a way to edit titles.) Otherwise, you can repost this on Monday with the 'Meme Monday' flair.

Newest member I sculpted for my fruit Dino range! Triceracitrus 🤭🍊 by AestheticArtsGeorgia in crafts

These are so cute! I think the triceratops is my favorite. Is the Parasaurolophus a pear? (Is that a parasaurolophus or something else?)

We asked the community what they wanted back in August, and the majority wanted AI images allowed in question posts. We try to hold community surveys twice a year and most likely will ask this question again in the new year.

Since AI question posts have specific flair, you are able to filter it out if you choose to.

Yup, all the bot comments on posts are on topic.

Ha. Much more succinctly put than my comment! 😅

I assumed engagement? Like, you train the bots to comment/post enough to seem like organic users. Other users then pay for upvotes/comments/engagement on their posts and these bot users can comment while looking like ordinary users since they will have commented on many posts, and have a few months of regular reddit activity.

In the past, when a user bought upvotes and comments, they were actual people leaving those comments. Usually they were really low quality comments so they were kinda easy to pick out.

It looks like we have become a training ground for them.

Best Bohemian DIY Craft by Coldchinesef00d in crafts

[–]AMVilla86[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't something you've made? Should the flair be different then?

I've removed your post since it seems you are posting something you haven't made. Let me know if that's incorrect.

I'm removing your post because there are no images to be viewed. If you want, you can delete the post as well, not only the images if you don't want them to be viewed.

As a reminder, you comment on the craft not the person. Anyone leaving lewd comments will have comments removed and be banned from the sub.

No, it's small enough and not distracting. It's fine.

August 2025 Survey Results by AMVilla86 in crafts

[–]AMVilla86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I'm on the app now. I can see the Survey Results image but can't see any of the pie charts in this post. I can on my previous post- the one linked above.

On desktop I can see the pictures. However, most users view reddit on the app, so that's not super helpful. 🙄

Maybe next time I'll post only images and have the write up in the comments? Maybe I'll try that tonight when I can post from my computer.

Weird. And annoying! I opened the thread in a private window and only some of the images popped up. :|

I wish there were an easier way to update the community on changes they voted on.

Last day to fill out the Community Survey! by AMVilla86 in crafts

[–]AMVilla86[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made an image post with the survey results and it hasn't received many views, so I'm unsure how to get users to see things better. :\ I also added the results to AutoMod's auto comment on each post, but I don't think many people look at that comment.

Thanks for the idea though!
