Hey Creators,

In one week, r/bigtiddygothgf is moving to a verified creators only community. Here's what that means and why we're doing it.

This community was built around a specific culture, not just an aesthetic, although that's a big part of it. Goth has roots, history, music, and a whole world behind it, and this sub exists to celebrate people who actually live in that world in some way. Lately we've seen an influx of posts that treat "goth" as a costume rather than something genuine, and it's slowly shifting the feel of the community away from what makes it worth being part of.

To address this and get in front of it, we as a mod team, have decided requiring verification is a cleaner way to make sure the people who are posting here, are doing so for the right reasons. Will it be perfect, no, but it's the goal.

We know that verification can feel like a pain. But we think that people who really want to be here for the right reasons, and are also hoping the culture becomes more obvious, won't have any issues going through the process.

It's pretty simple. The creator wanting to verify will follow the verification instructions (shown below). Once the mod team receives the verification we will send a response with a short questionnaire. This will give us a chance to get to know you a little before you start posting. We're looking for people who can speak to the culture authentically.

We highly encourage everyone to start sending in their verifications before the deadline. But after April 1st, all non-verified creators will not be able to post.

Verification information will NOT be shared publicly. Any information sent is purely used for the purpose of verifying the creator. Buying verification will not be entertained. And EVERYONE will be required to verify. No exceptions.

The verification process:

Take a set of photos or short GIF of yourself holding a piece of paper using different angles.

On the paper, clearly write your Reddit username, r/bigtiddygothgf, and the current date. The paper should be crumpled.

You will need to upload it to an image hosting site like redgifs and then send that link to Modmail. DO NOT CONTACT MOD USERS DIRECTLY.

Deadline: April 1st, 2026

Questions or issues with the process? Mod mail us.
