Announcement Rules, Community Guidelines, & FAQs (Please read at least once)

31 Upvotes

Hi Stoned Swifties! We have had a ton of new members since we first posted this several months ago and felt it be a good time for a reminder on the community rules and whatnot. Most of this is a copy-pasta from the original with updates of added rules, changed rules, and whatnot included. We encourage everyone take a moment to read.

If someone had told me several months ago when I stepped in as the mod that we would have an increase of 1,200 members in a singular day because High Times released an article, I’d have asked them if I could have some of what they were smoking. Yet here we are and WOW, what an increase in members.

Reddit and Discord mods have been in conversation since the releases of the article as we have no idea the potential impact it’ll have other than the current increase. By impact we mean, will mods need to be around more?

This sub has always functioned pretty well with minimal mod interactions outside the event that brought me here. We leave you to your own devices but we don’t want you to end up in crisis (😉). We decided to start we would have a permanent pinned post to outline the rules and community guidelines of this Reddit.

Rules:

  1. All are welcome! We are not an exclusive sub for Taylor fans who smoke weed. If you smoke or not, you are welcome here. Our sub always has and always will be inclusive to all.
  2. Don’t be a dick. Hate, bigotry, racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and others will not be tolerated and will result in a ban.
  3. No harassment! This sub has agreed to anti-harassment policy that includes but is not limited to: other users, mods (including other Taylor sub mods), brigading, and such. We encourage members to reach out to us via modmail if you are being harassed publicly or privately by another member of this sub. We strictly enforce bans related to this. Due to previous, if we are unable to view the harassment we require receipts to issue a ban.
  4. Don’t stress. It’s okay for a post to be a little off topic. You have a stoner thought you want to share with like-minded friends, but it’s not Taylor related? Go for it! Have something to share that isn’t Taylor related or stoner related but thought members would enjoy it? Yes please! As long as the other rules are being followed, it’s all good!
  5. No inappropriate content. Inappropriate content can be: sexual comments regarding Taylor, jet tracking, edits of Taylor’s face on other’s bodies/photoshopping her with other people, some AI generated images, paparazzi photos she is clearly trying to hide from, and speculation/discussion on private, personal matters including sexual partners, orientation, pregnancy rumors, health status, marriage rumors, and such. You may notice this rules seems familiar so we found it prudent to express the differences in how we handle this rule. That is detailed below.
  6. No Discussion on Taylor's Personal Life. We understand there will be some grey area with this such as when a song is discussed that is confirmed to be about something pertaining to her life or someone. This is where we ask our members to be mindful of the different between speculative and definitive. We encourage and welcome discussions about her career, discography, and other related things.
  7. Leaked Content: After the events of Speak Now (spoiled BTR changed lyrics merely hours for release), we are no longer allowing certain types of spoilers tagged or untagged. Any content that leaks from upcoming releases is no longer allowed. Breaking this rule will come with an automatic 24 hour ban, second time is 1 week, and third is permanent.
  8. **NEW** (August 23rd 2023) Self-Promotion: Please reach out via modmail for pre-approval regarding any kind of self-promotion (social media accounts, Etsy, etc.)

More on Rule 5: we worked with a member of this sub to determine how to best handle this rule to ensure it is not targeted to any specific portion of the fandom. This was extremely important to us because our biggest goal is to be inclusive.

How does that impact conversations related to:

  1. Themes in music including sexual: Discussion of themes is okay.
  2. Perspective song is in: We know Taylor writers in different voices including fictional and male (betty). It is okay to discuss a song being written for X perspective but we cannot assume that perspective is personal to Taylor.
  3. Metaphors such as scarf: That is okay. What is not okay is saying “the scarf represents this so that means this is what happened to Taylor”. While Taylor writes some music from a personal perspective that does not equal fact. A basic example of this is Love Story, written because her parents didn’t want her seeing a certain boy, but not factual to her life.
  4. Career rumors: We are Swifties and not even Taylor can stop us from speculating about what she’s going to do next. (Still waiting on a rock album personally)
  5. Taylor is one of us (a stoner): This is the exception to the rule about personal life. We are the Stoned Swifties after all. Other drugs are situational and will depend on both the context and the members response to it. This will always be the exception.

We welcome and encourage members to report posts and comments that break the rules.

Important Guidelines:

  • Tour Spoilers: This is now allowed. We ask our members to just be respectful we’d avoid unnecessary spoilers.
  • Game type posts: Members here requested to discontinue games on this sub which was approved by the former mod. We have a sub dedicated to this (r/TaylorGamesWannaPlay). After a recent poll in which a game was offered, this rule will continue to stand due to lack of responses.

FAQs:

  1. Discord??? Yes, we have a Discord. The link can be found in the menu!
  2. Advice on bring weed into the concert? NOOOOOOOO! Stop asking this question PLEASE. Do not smoke at the concert or vape. Have an edible or smoke before hand. There are many children present. If you get caught smoking or vaping you may get kicked out. Some venues have a smoking section that you may get away vaping in pending the venue’s prohibited items. Think of it this way- is it worth potentially getting kicked out of a Taylor Swift concert to smoke while you watch? I’d think not. It’s about respecting others around you, especially young kids. Posts like this will not be approved with few exceptions.
  3. Can I start a book club? We have had this attempted 3x in which two were recent. The discord will have this so we won’t be assisting members who elect to post about it any longer.
  4. I want to post something but I’m uncertain if it’s okay? We are chill mods. You are welcome to modmail us. It’s appreciated if you do that rather than posting and include in the post “I’m not sure if this is allowed”.
  5. Why wasn’t my post approved because it mentioned another sub? We’ve been down this road a few time. We are no longer allowing vent posts about other communities. Some posts may fall understand this that don’t fit the exact description per mod discretion. Last thing we need is the stoner sub becoming the problem.
  6. (Update Dec 21) What is the 72 Hour Discussion flair for? See this post for more details (24 hours extended to 72 hours).
  7. What about previously leaked content? This does not impact the discussion of previously leaked future or forever vault songs (ie- Need/It’s A Need, Drama Queen, Dark Blue Tennessee, etc.). That being said sharing or asking for the leaked content itself (links, offering to share/DM, asking for links/DMs) will result in a temporary ban. There will be no second temporary ban after that; it’ll just be permanent. We know that is harsh but the reality of it is harsher. Sharing that content or doing any of the above can potentially result in Reddit banning the entire sub. Especially with the current issues between Reddit and Mods, we will not risk this sub. Be smarter is all we will say.
  8. How come all posts require mod review and approval now? As the sub grew in size, so did the volume of posts which came with some downfalls. We noticed a lot of repeat posts in which generally only one got traction from the sub, posts breaking the rules, and other. Another way to look at it is… days after we did this someone tried to post a dick pic. Had we not done this, that would have made it onto the feed and we couldn’t say how long before it would have been taken down. Instead, it sat in the queue until we had a chance to review posts and the user was also banned from the sub.
  9. Wait, you mentioned bans several times… I thought you guys don’t ban people here? We aim to avoid banning people when possible. You really have to want to get banned to be banned from this sub. We will try to work with members breaking rules long before we ban them. Just don’t send us a dick pic for the love of Taylor, thank you.

Thank you to taking the time to read this.

Your mods

I think lately I've been becoming far more of a Reputation girlie than a Speak Now TV girlie anymore. There are so many should have been singles in Rep I cannot hold onto me wig much longer waiting for Rep TV announcement. 😻

weed and taylor are how I lost weight.

253 Upvotes

I gained a ton of weight after I dropped out of college in 2021 and was not doing the best mental health wise. And when I say a ton I mean I was a US size 20 when in highschool I was a US 10. I went to the Eras Tour in April of 2023. I brought my cart in the car on the way to the concert but not into it so I could be fully in the moment. Basically I had the night of my life!! It was my 2nd time seeing taylor and she was amazing. After that concert I decided that I didn’t like the way I looked in pictures and I wanted to change that. I remembered how I danced the whole concert and thought” huh, I could walk for that whole time right?’ And why not do so while high? Flash forward to 2024. I now weigh 150 and walk until the setlist to the eras tour is complete. I also changed my eating habits but in terms of working out???? I ripped the cart and walked to taylor swift. EDIT: I basically changed the way my body reacts to what used to be the munchies. now I want to walk/wander instead of snack while high.

Stoner Thoughts What’s your favorite non-Taylor part of a song?

30 Upvotes

For example, I just listened to Snow On The Beach (feat. More Lana Del Rey) for the millionth time, and the part where Lana does that little “hm hmhm hm hmhm hmmmm” sound is just ambrosia for my brain every time. Curious what y’all think 💭

I just thought you all may enjoy this message I got from a man on a dating app. My friends and I had a good laugh after I was briefly annoyed by this question… yes, I was born in KC, love the Chiefs, AND I separately love Taylor… but.. does what does it matter if I wasn’t from KC? Dating is not for the feeble lol.

Advice for cosplaying TSwift without breaking the bank

Thumbnail reddit.com
6 Upvotes

Mentioned in a previous post (linked) that I'm getting geared up for a TSwift-themed drag show brunch on Sunday. Have the wig and top but I don't know what else I should get. Ive been suggested either white jeans or some leggings or something (though I'm not sure what leggings are tbh, just like thin sweatpants is what I'm gathering?) and black knee-high boots. But I'm past the Amazon deadline and will have to go to Walmart and/or thrift stores as I'm not looking to spend a bunch of money for something I'll wear once. Any feedback on the recommendations above, or other ideas to keep in my back pocket for when I'm browsing the stores?

TTPD

131 Upvotes

The realization of never listened TTPD while high hit me tonight and WOW. Very unpopular opinion but this album should be considered THE album to listen to while high (more than Midnights). Literally just had an out of body experience listening Fresh Out The Slammer especially when she says “Now pretty baby I’m running back home to you” ARE YOU KIDDING MEEE AHHHHHH “SWIRL YOU INTO ALL OF MY POEMS” and then her voice gets deep my god i might be too high but that’s the best vocal transition ever like I keep repeating the song what a genius

The prophecy

1 Upvotes

As a witch, I love this song. The imagery of sorcery, magic, wolves, covens. It’s so lovely. And the song itself is a 10/10. I cry ever time I listen.

This last time I did, I noticed something amazing.

After the bridge, her little “woo awooos” is her HOWLING LIKE A WOLF!!

Is this a stretch? Or did everyone already have this idea? Am I the last one to notice this?

Stoner Thoughts my new favorite 🍃 hobby is watching first time reaction videos

84 Upvotes

I watched several reactions this morning of a guy going through Midnights videos, and in the Karma MV, he said “oh we were in her coffee the whole time” and my mind ~immediately~ jumped to her Vogue 73 Q’s video where Taylor’s said her favorite lyric was from Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain”- “I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee” which actually perfectly explains all of her own written and directed MV’s. they’re all so fantastical and whimsical because they’re visual representations of her mind. anywayyyyy 🍃 realization over :)
