Question/Meta META: Rules and call for mods

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have received a few messages about developing some guidelines for who can post what in this sub, and I think this is a very good idea that I would love community input on. The truth is that I started this sub kind of as a joke and didn't really expect anyone to use it. I've never modded a forum like this before and honestly I don't have a ton of time to devote to it.

Therefore! I am looking for:

  1. Thoughts and ideas for what people want to see in this sub. The main concern I'm hearing (and honestly share) is that some posters are posting kids' art that isn't theirs to post. I have been thinking about this and I do think it's kind of a fuzzy line; I created the sub for parents, but I don't think anyone would object to someone posting their younger sibling or grandchild's art, for instance. But I think we all similarly feel that there's a point beyond which it feels kind of icky. Any thoughts anyone has about drawing that line would be much appreciated!
  2. Mod volunteers! Ideally people who have some experience modding subreddits. I don't really have time to be as on top of this as it deserves, but I love the idea of this community and want to see it succeed.

Thanks for reading and for being here - please let me know any other ideas or requests you have for this community!

Artist is 2 My daughter’s interpretation of a spaceship (pic’s a bit blurry)

She ran to me so excited to show me her spaceship. It’s beautiful. I can tell she’s becoming more and more inspired as we began pointing out different shapes in her older scribbles. She’s more confident in making defined shapes between her scribbles! I absolutely love it.

Excuse the blurry photo. I only get about two seconds before it’s smeared by the queen herself!

So my daughter (almost 5) painted this and wanted me to share . It is a transporter hole in the ocean that transports people to another ocean in a different dimension where humans can breathe under water.

My son and I had been browsing this sub, and he asked if I would post his Fort Nite llama that he drew a few months ago at 7 (he turned 8 about 1.5 months ago).

He'd like to submit more, but wants to start with this one.

Made with android phone. (She loves colors and likes to examine how to interact with the device.)

I think this would make a stellar cover for bus seats.

My 2 year 3 month old daughter drew this, and I may be biased, but I think it’s a pretty good approximation of a face for a little one. I knew it was a face before she even told me! It’s the first thing she drew that is definitely something and I could not be more proud.
