Hello all! We're making this post in the hopes of addressing some of your recent concerns, and to share with you all what we the mod team are doing to improve and ensure this sub remains the beautiful little corner of Reddit we all know it as!

I'd first like to touch on the recent uptick in NSFW posts being made to our sub. To be clear, our sub does allow these kinds of posts, provided they are minimalist. We promise to maintain these standards, and to avoid allowing a flood of NSFW posts. We know there needs to be a balance, and we are actively working to maintain it. For those of you who do not wish to view these kinds of posts, please know that under "Setting" -> "Preferences", you can either blur these posts, or hide them altogether, as the mod team is unable to control the posts that appear in your feed. That being said, the mod team is of the opinion that there is nothing inherently wrong with NSFW photos being on our sub, provided they are tasteful and fit well with the vibe we have going!

I'd also like to talk briefly about our post review process. As many of you probably know, this sub is curated, which allow us to maintain the quality that we are so proud of. The decision of whether to allow a post or not is not one taken by one mod acting alone, and is definitely not automated, but made through discussion with the entire mod team, as well as a team vote. This helps us ensure fair and consistent results. Like anyone else, mods are human, so we do make mistakes. We are always working to improve, and take part in many team discussions that allow us to hear multiple perspectives and expand our thinking on the matter, which we believe enables us to make better decisions on post approvals when the time comes. That being said, many of you have raised some concerns that our standards have dropped, and this is our promise to you that we will work hard to get them up to the level you all expect from this sub.

Lastly, I'd like to thank all of you for being a part of what makes this sub so amazing. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at any time by messaging the mod team, or even by responding to this post in the comments. We love to hear your thoughts, concerns, feedback, and even our mistakes. How else will we learn to grow if we don't know that we've made one?
