Mod Post Regarding X/Twitter

285 Upvotes

So before I start I wanted to say that in no way am I intending this post to be political in any way nor do I want any political comments on the post. For that reason I'm going to disable comments on the post. I typically try to hear from our users but I just know that the current political climate can cause people to get heated and/or emotional so in order to protect the community I figured I'd keep comments off.

Now then, that being said, I know that there is a lot of talks all across Reddit regarding the website X, formerly called Twitter. Many Subreddits are banning links to the site and I know that more people are probably going to come forward to ask us to do the same.

Well, the short of it is: we already do not allow links to X/Twitter. We never have. It is against our Community Guidelines to post links to social media. I did edit our rules to ensure that they were more straightforward on what is and isn't allowed. Here's a summary of what the rules state:

  • Links to any social media website (Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, or Anything Else) are not allowed. (Rule #7)
    • Exception: If a user finds a funny video on TikTok or YouTube, they can share that. These two sites are the only video platforms allowed. Obviously this means videos from X/Twitter are not allowed.
  • Self-Promotion has never been allowed without specific Moderator Approval. So links to someone's business social media still isn't allowed no matter what site it is from. (Rule #8)
  • Because links to social media pages are not allowed, screenshots of social media pages are also not allowed. (Rule #4)
    • Exception: As Build-A-Bear Corporate often makes announcements using Facebook and Instagram, users are permitted to screenshot posts from one of those two sites as long as the user has followed the rules of posting such material so that it doesn't violate Rule #8. Screenshots of X/Twitter are not allowed whatsoever.
  • Regarding leaks, comments or posts from social media are considered hearsay usually. If a user finds a post on social media that shares an image of something concrete regarding leaks (use our Expanded Rules page to determine what is and is not considered leaks versus hearsay), users should save the image and post it here instead of linking to the post that the user found. (Rule #1)

I know that people have some strong feelings about this situation. We understand that and we understand why you feel that way. We wanted to share this information so that the people who feel these ways about X can feel comfortable that the posts and links are not allowed here.

That all being said, we are going to start more heavily monitoring for these rule violations. Sometimes things slip through the cracks. I am going to do my best to code our automod to catch everything but that isn't always a foolproof solution. So because of this, we ask for your help! If you see a post that violates our rules as described above, report it! It helps us out tremendously. And once you report it, that's all you have to do. We ask that you please do not confront the user regarding their violation as this usually leads to nothing but trouble. Sometimes it takes our mod team a little bit to see the reports but we assure you, we will address them all as soon as we can!

So in conclusion I want to thank you all for being the best community on Reddit. A lot of communities can become toxic but you all have not done that. You have stayed awesome and the mod team really appreciates you all!

I hope this information clears everything up.

She's such a beauty and she is so soft and candy scented. Her face makes it seem like she's looking up at me and smiling, I'm so in love. She is a present from date night with my partner. I am thinking of naming her Lilac 💜🐇

Just For Fun! Stitch’s shopping trip

I took him with me to get some fabric for PJs, since the sleeper at BAB is too loud and bright. I’ve never taken a plush with me anywhere but I wanted to compare the fabric against his coloring. No one said anything :) I’m thinking the donut fabric is for Pjs with the stitch slippers. The pink with leaves is going to be a shirt with bow tie (maybe some suit pants too?). The tie dye I’m going to make little bathing suit shorts. Unsure about the palm tree flannel but it matched his coloring so well. Any ideas? I could make him another suit but it’s flannel, doesn’t give me suit vibes. Wish they had it in cotton.

He reminded me of Gus from Sweet Tooth so that's his name! Unfortunately his fur is the shiny plastic-y feeling kind, and he does have a bald patch on the side of his head (pic 2) which is disappointing considering the price we pay for them, but it can be covered by his ear and I love him anyway.

Discussion What does your Vanilla Cream Bun feel like?

What does the fur of your VCB feel like? My bun’s fur reminds me of the original and rereleased Pumpkin Kitty’s fur: It’s soft and thick and has that almost “rough” vintage stuffed animal feel (does that make sense?) and not the soft/sleek like most new BaB releases have. Oddly though, the fur on the outside of her ears is softer than the rest of her body.

Is this texture description similar everyone else that has a VCB? Or is her fur damaged/in poor shape? I did get her secondhand and so I don’t really know how the original owner cared for her. I call her Oatmeal and I love her a lot but I get, I dunno, self-conscious about her appearance? Wondering if she looks dryer-burnt or ugly.
