/r/GrassDoggos
The sub for ALL our precious grass doggos!
This sub was originally created with cows in mind but the decision was made to use this space for all of our grass doggos, having a place to post cute videos, gifs, pictures of any of them.
Other Recommended Subs:
r/Aww for all sorts of cute pictures, mostly of animals
r/Ethology (study of animal behavior)
Ownership: Do not claim ownership if it's not true. Be careful to change the title if you're crossposting.
Cruelty: No posting or discussion of cruelty is allowed. No jokes about food.
Spamming is not acceptable.
Don't ask for upvotes, it can be considered vote manipulation and Reddit admins don't like that.
Civility: Be civil when posting or commenting. It can be difficult when "debating" those with viewpoints other than yours, but if they are a problem try to use the report tool.
Bot Activity: This is a case-by-case basis. Some bots seem to be useful. Report as needed.
Not a grass doggo. Grass doggos are at least mostly herbivorous and should reside on the grass for long periods.
Discussion about "food," outside of jokes may be allowed but are subject to removal based on the moderators' judgement. Questions do come up on this. Do not attack others.
Please note that while there is no set rule on vulgarity, we do have automoderator set to remove any posts or comments with swear words. It is automatic and does not count as a "strike" on a person, they are free to resubmit without the vulgarity.
FREE-POST WEEKEND Every weekend you are allowed to post most animals as part of FREE-POST FRIDAY. Generally all animals posted on Free-Post Weekend should be pictured on or around grass.
/r/GrassDoggos
Every weekend you may post any animals on r/GrassDoggos, including "pet animals." The animals still must be pictured on grass.
Please post as a separate post. Flair your posts that fit with Free-Post Weekend with the designated "FREE-POST WEEKEND" flair.
This ends when the weekend is over.
Have fun!
Apparently we have declined, and while I'm not active in posting I'm always around. We have had a steady reduction in posts.
So while we try to not push veganism or going plant-based on others, we also have allowed posts of animals who are unfortunately used for the meat & dairy industry. We did have a rule where those posts would be removed if they received reports but otherwise we let them stay. Partly because they often show happiness, what appears to be loving owners (which is probably true for the most part aside from the fact they still end those animals' lives way too young, even if they are "treated well").
I'm not sure where we went wrong, I feel like this sub is wonderful and has so much potential. Here's some of my possible changes, I appreciate feedback on them:
Due to the fact that so many governments require tags, we will not remove posts for having ear tags or other identification as it's not definitive for cruelty
If unknown regarding the meat & dairy industry we won't automatically remove posts, but we will try to be vigilant in removing confirmed content, and continue to abide by reports
We won't jump to conclusions if an animal seems happy
I'd like to see this sub grow again, I feel like it has its place here on Reddit. I hope to gain back many of the posters that seemed to abandon us at some point, probably due to the industry posts?
