Mod Message

Hi! I haven't been on the mod team of this sub for long (Ok, about 6 months, that's gone fast...) after offering to help remove spam and non-geeky related posts which seemed to getting out of hand.

I wanted to make this post to clear a few things up, especially after events of the past week:

• We don't have any defined rules (yet) but I'd like to think from the sub name and description that it's clear this is a place for crochet projects (or questions/discussions) that are in some way related to geek culture.
• We didn't take part in the blackout whilst other crochet subs did. This has resulted in a lot of posts that would ordinarily be posted to r/crochet posted on here instead, despite not being 'geeky'. I've removed these as they don't fit the sub and I don't feel it's right for them to be here just because other subs are temporarily offline. r/crochet has a discord server linked in their sidebar, so I'd suggest using that until it comes back online for non-geeky crochet posts.
• I've gone back and removed any spam and off-topic posts from the past month. There was a lot and it's that which inspired me to make this post.
  • If you see anything I've missed (regardless of how old the post is), or any new posts that you feel don't belong here, please use the report function on the post. It really helps me out and will mean those posts get removed quicker.
  • I don't possess a Geek Dictionary, so I may accidentally remove something that I didn't realise was geeky when in fact it is. If that happens then let us know and we can approve the post.

I did have some discussions with another moderator when I first joined with regards to creating rules and other ideas for the sub but nothing was finalised. I'll speak to them again soon to try get that sorted and hopefully grow the sub.
