This move has been a long time coming. And believe me, I didn't want to do this.

Y'all don't see me very often. I'm very much a behind-the-scenes moderator. I don't comment much at all, and I almost never post. But I'm here every day trying to handle the issues. Been doing it for over 13 years now.

u/Gargamella created the sub over 13 years ago, and brought me on as a moderator because I was posting content to the sub. And since that's how I became a moderator, I have been very resistant to the notion of essentially shutting down non-OC content posted in good faith by the average joe.

But honestly, the sub has been flooded with bots and spammers and scammers for a good long time. And there are a lot more of them than there are of me. So despite my misgivings, it's time to pull the trigger and restrict the sub so that only verified approved accounts can post.

I've done this before in other subs, and it will definitely reduce the quantity of content posted here. But it will improve the quality. There will be less posts, because most of the posts are garbage and reposts, and this move will get rid of most of that.

IF YOU HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL POSTING HISTORY IN THIS SUB, send me a modmail. If I recognize your username and if I see that you have a lengthy post history here without too many warnings or post removals, I will approve you and you can skip the verification process.

We have a few karmafarmers I recognize and allow, because they generate fresh content instead of just reposting stale content. If you're one of those posters, shoot me a modmail and I'll take a look. If all you do is repost content you've found elsewhere, you won't be approved, so don't bother with the modmail.

OTHERWISE, you will need to follow the verification instructions at the link below.

The sub will transition to approved-only posting within the next few days.

Starting to see an uptick on clickbait thread titles. I find clickbait thread titles obnoxious, and they are not allowed in the sub.

"What is considered clickbait?" you ask.

It's a judgement call. But here are some guidelines.

• Anything that sounds like you want to have sex with me, the guy reading the thread title.
• Anything like "could you last longer?" or similar phrases.
• Any mention of "stepbrother" or "brother" or "stepdad" or other family members. "Daddy" will be (grudgingly) allowed as long as it's clear that it's an affectionate nickname for your romantic partner and not, like, an attempt to claim you're really having sex with your dad.
• Anything like "for the five guys reading this" or "I hope I made you stop scrolling" or "I just want to make one dick hard today".
• Anything that sounds like it was constructed with an eye towards maximizing engagement with your user page. This includes those novel-length thread titles all the "how to market your OF page on reddit" strategy guides tell you to use.

These are, as I say, guidelines. They are not (and cannot be) an exhaustive list. The mods have the final say on whether or not a thread title is considered clickbait.

The best thread titles for this sub will be short, sweet, and descriptive of the submission's contents. If you want to make sure, you can always send us a modmail first, asking if your desired thread title is acceptable.
