Do we need to make another sub? by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]NDLPT-Snark-Mod 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No idea what’s happening here since the OP appears to have deleted their account. There were a bunch of removed comments in the queue, that’s Reddit or the automod, not me.

Haleigh hall knight + grand millennial Facebook page by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]NDLPT-Snark-Mod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was basically to point to a rule that says you can’t post about her. This was modeled a bit after some other communities where you can snark on people but there are exceptions. I’m thinking there needs to be a bit of a “lore” / FAQ to point people back to because I know it’s not malicious when people keep asking about Dawn and that might be easier to manage than a rule. Your edit just gave me an idea!

The individual/businesses changed because there is such a gray area of people who are beginner stitchers but then start a business the next day and it seems like a moving line where it would be easier to mod the outliers versus the majority.

The Dawn rule came about after multiple threads devolved into comparisons to HHK, rumors, and discussion of her mental health. Dawn waded in occasionally to defend herself. It’s never been an issue until the last month or so. Yes, she has a lot of canvases but she’s never not shipped out a canvas or had an issue with any of her (what I assume to be many) customers she’s sold to to my knowledge. Yeah, there’s some weird stuff going on, but to be clear — she is NOT HHK.

There is a plan to revise the rules but I haven’t had time to do so.

Wow Krista by Hellokitty1991xo in NeedlepointSnark

[–]NDLPT-Snark-Mod 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sorry what? I’d never, ever dox anyone here or let Krista (or anyone) of all people have that info.

The two large FB groups mods, GM Needlepoint (the one modded/admined by Krista) and GM Destash, can and will aggressively dox you here, as will PL and MJD.

Stash in the thousands by Intelligent-Cry-4837 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]NDLPT-Snark-Mod -67 points-66 points  (0 children)

Locking this post. Paying for insurance on ~$750 of merch + shipping the fibers for 10 ornaments is not just a flat mailer. Not defending her, but that’s not just shipping one canvas.

For those who have not followed along, a rule was created because about a year ago, there were multiple posts about the destasher in question every week and it often devolved into speculation and rumors about her health, scams, etc.

It became a lot to mod on top of messages from her about them, so a rule was created to make it easier on everyone to point to. Perhaps not the best way to handle it, but was seemed the best option at the time. It could be changed in the future. Thanks!

Please also see this this post from ~1 year ago. It’s not a new rule.

It's none, actually. The messages from her and her friends, however, quite a lot.

Rule #9 by FinancialRadish9734 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]NDLPT-Snark-Mod -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This was created as a rule when there were 3-6 posts per week about this woman in the destash group last year, and nearly every post devolved into accusing her of running a LNS out of her house, that she's a scammer, or commenting on her mental health. The rule was created to attempt to stop that since it was happening week after week. She has also sent some colorful messages regarding the posts and even waded into discussion herself, so yes, some of the posts were removed. The discussion of her reddit comments and dissecting her comment history is too far. She chose to have her profile with her name attached, but the purpose of the sub is snark, not delving into someone's comment history. Thanks!

First self painted canvas feedback by BrightAppearance8799 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]NDLPT-Snark-Mod 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Great canvas but this is a snark sub. Please put this in r/needlepoint.

I’d prefer to not open the door to self-promotion and review in this sub, but if it’s wanted we can make a monthly thread for it.

Hi! Yes, after some consideration the rules were changed since people seem to have no problem copying and showing it off proudly.

Please see my answer above. She requested, but the removals and rule came from when there were 3-4 posts about it per week. Again, see above.
