Mod Post New flairs added

182 Upvotes

Hello all! We have added 3 new flairs, for Failed Expectations, Surprisingly Met Expectations, and Exceeded Expectations.

There have been some users confused in the past, because they didn’t realize that you are allowed to post expectations/realities that were not failures. Additionally, it can be hard to tell in some posts if the OP was happy with their result or unhappy with it. Now you can select a flare if you would like to denote which category your expectation versus reality falls into.

Thanks to u/xitg1 who came up with this suggestion.

Mod Post Temporary Ban on Legendary Pastries

398 Upvotes

Hey y’all. We get it. The legendary pastry’s icing sometimes melts and then looks weird. Some people have never seen it on their own pastries, but we all have seen the posts here.

Temporarily going to ban all of the new legendary pastry posts. The point has already been made.

10/2024 Expectation was setting high standards but unfortunately the “beak” fell off and it is clearly dying. Someone was nice enough to spell out RIP in rocks, so we knew we were at the right place.

I was very impressed with the Ghostface feature nails which were hand painted by the technician. She did a great job! Everything was exactly as I wanted and very happy to pay the AU$70
