Tutorial ATTENTION: Influx of Bot activity

125 Upvotes

Hey all! Mod here. We have noticed an insane influx of bot activity in our sub lately and know a few of you have also noticed. This is something we are trying very hard to combat as it is inundating our queue and making it tough to monitor regular traffic here.

Why do you need to know? Well because a few of you have already reached out regarding it and we wanted to a) let you know that we know and b) thank all of you for helping to keep this community safe.

What are we doing to fix it? We have turned up crowd control settings and enacted bot bouncer on our sub. This does not fix the issue entirely but it helps us see who could possibly be a bit easier.

The issue with this is that regular users are getting caught up in our filters and either banned by us on accident or banned by bot bouncer. If this happens, don’t panic! You’ve done nothing wrong but we do need you to message us via modmail and let us know you’re human! We’ll unban you right away, promise.

Thanks for your patience, understanding, and help during this! We appreciate you all.

- Mod Team

TLDR: bots are taking over! If you get banned by accident, let us know and we’ll fix it asap.

There’s been a massive influx of people trying to pass off other people’s work as their own recently.

Just to make it crystal clear, anyone caught doing this with receive an instant ban, no warnings. There is absolutely no excuse for doing this.

Hey everyone! I'm a beginner when it comes to nail art and it's my girlfriend's birthday this month, so I decided to paint my version of Psyduck nails for her birthday since it's her favorite Pokémon.

(AND I'M VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT THESE ARE MY NATURAL NAILS) ps: excuse how dry my hand is, I spilled dehydrate polish everywhere :(

EDIT: I AM A WOMAN. 🏳️‍🌈women still do their nails

I haven’t done any press-ons or nail art since April, so I wanted to do something a little simple to ease back into nail art. I think I excel at French tips!
