What do you think of the Fursday Friends rule?

The Fursday Friends rule should apply to:

We have had requests to make Stash/Yarn haul posts restricted to one day #StashSaturday (like Fursday Friends). How do you feel about this rule being implemented?

Should "What can I make with this yarn (picture of yarn)" posts be included in the stash Saturday flair?

Should crochet related political/current event posts be allowed? (mods are working towards and responding to multiple suggestions for the way forward with regards to how this sub deals with political posts. We do want to hear from everyone and plan to have a discussion on the sub that we will invite all members to participate in so we can make an informed decision going forward. In the meantime a politics flair/tag will help people to filter this out if they do not want to see it)

Are you happy with the new FAQ/Beginner sticky post?

On our last rule review we relaxed the NSFW restrictions. Are you happy with how that has been?

Do you like the bot we added that asks for the pattern on all FO (finished object) posts?

What do you think of the bot that identifies reposts and automatically deletes those posts?

We have amended the 90/10 rule to NO PROMOTION UNLESS YOU ARE A GOOD CONTRIBUTER TO THE SUB. This means the majority of a person's posts must not be promotion, it still aligns with the 90/10 rule in essence. Are you happy with this rule?

Do you like that posts are required to have a flair tag?

Do you want any other flairs/tags?

Are you happy with Work In Progress posts any day of the week?

We have added an Automod bot to link to the wiki when the help flair is used, do you think this is a good idea? (We will trial it and review at a later date)

There are still too many posts of animals by stealth. A picture of crochet with an animal in all but the first photo but the title and comments are all about the animal. These posts are the main reason I visit much less often now. The Thursday rule is stretched beyond breaking point. It already allows animal posts for over a third of the week (It's Thursday somewhere!) I appreciate the rule but every stealth animal post you allow only increases the number we see.

There are more subs than you can count for photos of animals. Can we please have this little corner for actual crochet and not for the pets of people who crochet.

Please would it be possible to rearrange (move the disclaimer to the end) and simplify the very beginning of the "Getting Started With Crochet" ? Many newbie posts ask, "What do I need?" I believe lately many want to read generic specifics: Find a 5.5 mm crochet hook, a solid color, light colored yarn with a No. 4 somewhere on the label, stitch markers, a yarn needle, and scissors. Find a beginner crochet book, a video tutorial, and/or a person to show you how to begin. Then continue with basic or the broader written explanations and options for some of the specifics. ---------Thank you all!

I feel mixed, though support the tag! I like unrrelated political posts (e.g., finding out a famous person or politician wears or does crochet). Also don't mind when the crochet itself is politically motivated (e.g., crocheted for social justice org). These are like politically adjacent. However, this is my safe destress sub. Don't really want posts that plea for political action or make judgments. Find that extremely stressful tbh.

At this point even a wildly patriotic pattern gives a certain Energy. I think it would be difficult for mods to consistently offer impartial moderation as far as posts go. I think the best way forward is to put divisive posts through the hate speech filter - if it's passive it stays, if it promotes violent ideas or action against others then it goes.

I believe it's a good idea to tell people which days are best for certain topics, i.e. fursday and stashsaturday, etc. But I don't believe people should have their posts removed or get in trouble for posting on the 'wrong' day. I believe people (me included) have enough on their plate and come to this sub to enjoy yarn. I'd rather not have to use the mental faculties or mark my calender to remind myself when I can show off my yarn. I really enjoy this sub and adding rules to that extent would take away from that joy.

Crafting and activism have gone hand-in-hand for generations. I think it’s incredibly important to allow political topics, especially if the discussion leads to how our craft can help cope/inform/facilitate discussions/etc. Those who don’t want to see anything political are the ones who have the privilege to ignore what’s happening around them. If you’re someone whose affected by “the politics,” it’s an integral part of your day-to-day and can’t be ignored. The flair is a great idea so that way those who want to can ignore those posts, but I found the discussions about politics and crochet to be very helpful during the last few weeks.

I have seen a reduction in duplicate posts and reposts, and so the bot seems to be working.

No, we need more regulation

I don't have an opinion on this.

For the 2nd question, I think Fursday Friends should apply to posts that are crochet-related, but mostly just showing off pets, e.g. "Look what my dog/cat did to my yarn wahhh". I don't think that any of the options given for that question should be limited to one day of the week because they all have crochet FOs as the main focus of the post.

For the 4th question, "What can I make with this yarn (picture of yarn)" type posts should really just flat-out be banned. There's information in the FAQ that beginners should read, and they can also just be referred to Ravelry or even just Google. And there have been so many posts where the yarn is manufactured by Hobby Lobby, and we all know what happens on those posts (rightfully so, IMO, but it doesn't actually help answer the person's question about the yarn they have clearly already paid for).

I also think "Selling Advice" questions should just be banned, but I can live with a filter for it. Most of the time, these questions have already been answered and could easily be found by searching the sub. A lot of them are also Etsy-specific, and should be posted in an Etsy Sellers forum or subreddit.

I think there is always room for discussion, maybe a one thread sticky post? That way people who want to participate can go right there and others can keep scrolling

I think political stuff should be limited to projects that would be donated to a cause. I.e. Ukraine or a natural disaster or a woman’s rights organization if that makes sense.

I believe we deserve safe spaces away from politics/conflicts. Not everyone on this subreddit is from the same location. See the weekly "hobby lobby is bad" gets annoying (i dont agree with their practices, but it doesn't need to be screamed weekly). In the absence of an outrught prohibition on politics keeping things to a single thread is a decent compromise. Don't let the vocal minority rule the sub.

I don't know if anything could be done with this, but I keep seeing posts asking "what is this stitch/how do I make this" about the same things. Granny squares and stitches, holey/distressed look, etc. I always sort by "new" and there will be posts about the same thing not even a page apart. Is there a way to encourage people to search the sub or do some of their own legwork before posting?

I haven't had any issues with the sub and I'm on here daily. I don't think any of the politics are egregious and it's not overwhelming the sub. I'm not a fan of destash posts, but I don't care if they are there. I just skip them usually. But there is an entire sub, r/yarnswap, specifically for that. I don't mind pets and kids ever. Cuteness is good. I made an entirely new account so I could just look at crochet and yarn subs only, and this one is my fave.

I understand that political debates can seem inappropriate on a sub about yarn and crafting. However, I worry that a restriction on "politics" could be weaponized because everyone has a different opinion on what is political. Posts like the "don't shop at hobby lobby" post are fairly blatantly political. A post that is of a FO that has a political phrase on it is blatantly political. But someone recently posted a stash post that was of yarn colored like the lesbian flag, and in the comments we ended up having a very illuminating and educating discussion about LGBT+ identities. Some might consider that political, even though queer identities are just that -- identities, not politics. If we put a ban on politics, that could be weaponized against marginalized communities because our very existence is considered political. Being visibly queer is considered political. It is considered political to be proud of being a person of color. I might post a FO that is just a pride flag and suddenly I'm breaking the rules about political posts. Furthermore, the paradox of tolerance could apply here. If you open to having a designated place for political posts, someone could post something racist or x-phobic post and say "What? I'm posting it under the politics flair aren't I?" I don't think I have a solution for you. Just please take these concerns into account when you are writing the rules about what is considered "political". Are you prepared to delete racist and x-phobic posts even if they are in the designated political flair? Are you prepared to defend minorities just being themselves? What will you/won't you tolerate, and what might be the consequences?

Yes, but repeat posts of the same topic should be redirected to one thread if made in a short period of time (48hrs or less). Posts of FOs or WIPs that are political do not need restriction, imo.
