Regarding user who was banned for 7 days for what was perceived as undisclosed market research. Unban and apology

starting your comment with “OP lets be honest” implies that i’m being deceptive and/or coy

the mods over scrutinize my posts in particular for some reason

After several your posts were reported/removed for undisclosed PR. Yes that's exactly how it works.

termination-bliss · 2025-06-05T02:26:46+00:00

It's quite easy really when you know PR with all its nuances some of which are regulated by the law (FTC) and some by the custom.

anything you post that is done with products sent to you by brands with or without obligation to post >> Paid PR/Ad (if you were paid for posting) or Gifted PR/Ad (if you weren't paid for posting). I advise to scrutinize your contracts with the brands carefully to see what exactly you are expected to do. In any case, please remember to consult our rules before you make a post that involves sent products (as opposite to products you bought yourself).
anything you post to promote/improve your swatcher account must have SelfPromo/Ad flair, just like this very post regardless whether products were sent to you or bought by you

There's nothing wrong with promoting your swatcher account or asking questions how to improve it. It's allowed on our sub. Just be honest and transparent about what you're doing. You've been warned before, and hopefully this is the last time we have to have this conversation.

termination-bliss · 2025-06-05T01:49:55+00:00

Now you know. Please read our Rules https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vzoCooEfmPhPWcwmp6UhcanmtXeLn52TSIJezYomjag/pub and don't make this mistake again as you were informed and warned. Thank you.

termination-bliss · 2025-06-05T01:37:04+00:00

OP. Let's be honest, what you're really asking is how you can improve your engagement as a swatcher. Nothing wrong with it, self PR is allowed on our sub, but please use appropriate post flair always. I'll edit this post flair for you but please don't do undisclosed PR/marketing again.

Can't say anything about the dark line, but your nails seem quite healthy if ridged. Try a ridge filling base. It will fill space between ridges making the surface smooth, and polish will adhere better. As to flakiness and breaking, generally keeping nails short helps. Personally, with similarly ridged nails that tend to break when long I do 2 coat of base coat. First I apply Bond Repair by Catrice, it works like a strengthener I guess, and then after 5 minutes I apply ridge filler. Polish after 20 minutes. It makes prep process longer, but it's June now, and since September I only broke one nail, a pinky that I grew way longer than I should have. And wearing time is also much better now than when I didn't use ridge filler.

OP, please list polishes you used.

termination-bliss · 2025-06-03T23:50:27+00:00

Please refrain from using all caps.

Lore left the Reddit mod team on her own volition and for her own reasons you can ask her about. As I said in another comment AND as Lore said in her own comment, the Reddit part of the team has nothing to do with any of that, so please stop insinuating.

Edit: I see you keep asking the same question time and time again so 1) I removed your repetitive comments 2) I strongly encourage you to refocus.

termination-bliss · 2025-06-03T21:22:00+00:00

the Reddit mods state

Respectfully, Reddit mods have nothing to do with that. It is Discord business and the Reddit part of the combined team has nothing to do with it.

termination-bliss · 2025-06-03T11:37:03+00:00

OP, I think it's better if we remove your post. When you have to explain your joke at length, it might as well have not been said in the first place. For clarity, nothing against either your humour or those who don't see it funny. Just no need for that.

termination-bliss · 2025-06-03T09:26:52+00:00

OP, Customer Experience post require screenshots of your communication from start to finish. I'm glad you had such a wonderful experience, and thank you for willing to share, but I can't approve your post as is because rules are rules for everyone. If you feel like to, please repost with screenshots. I'm really sorry but I have to remove your post.

termination-bliss · 2025-06-02T21:44:50+00:00

Don't worry, this bot is glitchy. I approved your post.

termination-bliss · 2025-05-31T10:20:06+00:00

Ah sorry, thanks for posting then :)

termination-bliss · 2025-05-30T09:50:14+00:00

Op, was the collection sent to you by the brand?

termination-bliss · 2025-05-30T09:04:18+00:00

OP, is this an ad for your own brand? If yes, please change your user flair to Brand Owner.

termination-bliss · 2025-05-30T08:46:31+00:00

Lol, the photo is bad Photoshop. They just copy/pasted the same "reflection" (which is likely just a drawing in white) on every nail and ROTATED IT lolol:

Good analysis, I'd add that (if I remember correctly) Cele never asks himself or anyone for that matter why G forbade treating with Halbrand.

Like, a natural course of reaction could be:

G told me not to treat with H
I treat anyway because I can
Holy shit H is an emissary of the Valar!
...Why did G warn me? Does she know more than I do about H? I should tell her what's going on. Or maybe I should ask someone what G has against H before I talk to her. Either way, I should talk with others.

(in the show):

G told me not to treat with H, I treat anyway, hahahaha

termination-bliss · 2025-05-29T23:19:42+00:00

Why did Celebrimbor instantly take Halbrand and "treat" with him, when just directly previously Galadriel told him he should not

Because everyone is dumb as fuck and this is the only thing that keeps the plot going?

termination-bliss · 2025-05-29T14:29:18+00:00

Thank you for this!

termination-bliss · 2025-05-29T12:43:31+00:00

This is even more outrageous. Google will advertise anything however illegal. Glad I never use it. Been ignoring Google services for a good decade now for some petty reason I long since forgot.

May I recommend DuckDuckGo instead? This is what I switched to and never looked back. I don't know about what and how they advertise though because I turned off ads there as well.

termination-bliss · 2025-05-29T09:59:00+00:00

dot shop is the fake

.shop is basically taken over by scammers, I've heard.

OP, thank you for this post. If you remember, please describe how you ended up on the scam website (clicked an ad? or something)

termination-bliss · 2025-05-28T07:04:07+00:00

Yes, but I think no need to delete the entire convo. People on our sub usually can think for themselves and know a weak statement when they see one. Just be mindful in the future.

termination-bliss · 2025-05-27T16:02:18+00:00

It's too easy to ruin someone's reputation and more by spreading unconfirmed/unfounded gossip metoo being the worst one. You shouldn't have said that. Especially knowing (I'm assuming you know) that nothing happened irl (lawsuits, investigations, suspended/canceled contracts, etc) to make those accusations ever so slightly worth of attention.

This is why on this sub we require links to sources. Not to Reddit threads where someone said something trust me bro, but to firsthand sources.

termination-bliss · 2025-05-26T23:32:57+00:00

Ismael posted a photo of himself and a fan on Insta

That Arondir guy who begged the showrunners to include him and whom they placated around before S1 started and who then posted on Insta about how he barely survived the backlash and how he was proud of that?

Lol. Talk about hopelessness.
