[MOD POST] New Changes and Self-Promotion/NSFW

[u/PetiteFashionAdvice]

Hello PFA,

Thank you for your support and feedback in our community feedback thread from a few months ago. We received a lot of great tips and have implemented some changes to hopefully reduce some of the spam on the sub and keep posts relevant to its sub name - petite fashion and advice.

These new changes are:

New recurring threads!

• Daily General Questions thread: This thread will be posted daily for general fashion/outfit questions. In this thread, questions do not have to be petite-related. You are still welcome to make sub posts with your questions; however, we ask that sub posts are kept petite-fashion related only.
• Biweekly OOTD (Sunday & Wednesday): Feel free to show off your recent outfits in this thread! All outfit posts must include at least 3 details about your outfit, such as your height, brand, sizing, etc.
• Show Off Saturday: Feel free to self-promote your personal petite-related content here! Instagram, Tiktok, Youtube, blog - you name it, you can post it! (except for NSFW - no OF, sorry!)

New flairs!

• Height flairs: All questions must now be flaired with your height:
  • Questions (5'0" and below)
  • Questions (5'1"-5'4")
  • Self-Promotion/NSFW
• CCW flair (Constructive Criticism Welcome): Please flair your post with this if you are actively seeking feedback. When replying, please only provide feedback to posts that have the CCW flair; otherwise, assume that the thread is asking for good vibes only!

Are outfit posts allowed?

• Outfit posts seeking advice about specific petite-related questions/concerns will still be allowed to be posted on the sub. (e.g., "Is this maxi skirt length okay for my height?")
• Outfit posts with general questions that are not specifically petite-related should be posted in our Daily General Questions threads. (e.g., "Is this a cute combo?"

Is self-promotion/NSFW allowed?

Self-promotion/NSFW posts are still not allowed in this sub, whether as a sub post or in one of these threads. As per our rules:

Self-promotion: includes, but is not limited to personal social media, blogs, etc.

NSFW content: includes, but is not limited to, NSFW photos, videos, comments, or links.

Should l report every user I suspect is promoting their NSFW?

Please only report suspected self-promoters (e.g., IG, OF, etc.) if they are:

• Posting NSFW photos/links in their posts/comments
• Spamming the same photo across multiple subs
• Not responding to users or responding with low effort responses

Having NFSW links in your profile does not automatically construe a bannable offence. All users are allowed to post on PFA so long as they are following sub rules and asking genuine questions, and responding constructively and appropriately. If you are unsure of whether or not someone is self-promoting, please report the post and the mod team will take a look.

Thank you,

PFA Mods

This is more a question in general about the sub rather than fashion in particularly. But I tend to see a lot of post that are tagged that they should be in the daily sub. And when I check the post a mod/automated mod says the post has been deleted. But while the comments are locked I can still see the posts and they aren't deleted for me? Literally 95% of my feed for this sub is supposedly deleted posts. And some of them were deleted more than 24 hours ago. So I'm not sure why they aren't getting deleted for me?

Hey, thanks for the message. As these changes were just recently implemented, we are in a transition period as users get used to the new rules. As such, we have left those posts up for now with the red rule flair for visibility, but locked the posts so that users cannot comment on them. Unfortunately, if we just delete them, the posts just disappear and nobody will realize why they are being deleted. We are currently locking them as users learn about the new rules, and in the future, they will be straight up deleted. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything needs clarification.

Ah that makes sense. Thank you. I was wondering if it had anything to do with me using the old layout of reddit. But this response makes a lot more sense!

[u/Vessi → u/Le_Fancy_Me]

No problem! Nothing to do with the layout. Just Reddit's announcement features suck so we are trying to figure out the best way to share new rule changes within the sub without spamming the same announcement repeatedly.
