how can we be better

kpn Bracelet King	9 months ago by kpn So I was thinking that we common users probably do stuff that's annoying or frustrating to the mods, is there anything we can do better for y'all, or start doing?
-jericho Bracelet King	9 months ago by -jericho Maybe I'm biased as someone who generally has an upbeat attitude on braceletbook, but I think that as a community we have GOT to stop the drama in the comments of bracelets. If some bracelet is offensive to you, just report it and move on. I've seen too many arguments in the comments of certain bracelets.

KrazyKnotz Super Moderator	9 months ago by KrazyKnotz One thing that would really help us mods is just users reading and following the site's Review Guidelines. That would really help us out a lot! 😊 Review guidelines https://www.braceletbook.com/review-guidelines/
Tikilishi Moderator	9 months ago by Tikilishi This is such a thoughtful forum topic @kpn! I really think that this is such a nice topic for discussion! 😄 If you don't mind me chiming in, I'll say that the best way to be good users is; 1) 𝘽𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙚, especially when your content gets declined. Most of you are very nice, but every so often, we get users with a bit of an attitude, or we're yelled at and cursed at by unhappy users. Most times we have the stomach for it, but other times we don't, so being polite is best! And remember that declining content isn't personal, we try to follow the site rules as best as possible! 2) 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 as well as the FAQ, especially if you're a new user. It can help you to avoid getting discouraged if you made something without realizing it wouldn't be accepted. 3) 𝘽𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙛𝙪𝙡 that we're just trying our best to do what's right for the site. I guess this is almost the same as the first one, lol. 4) 𝘿𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙨 and make them think that they're going to get banned. (You'd be surprised how often this happens!) We really try not to ban people often, and we usually give clear and abundant warnings first before doing anything. Likewise, nobody on here can "make you get banned." Users can report things and provide screenshots of things that happen, but it's not possible to "get" someone banned. 5) 𝘽𝙚 𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙚 in the forum and comments, especially under sensitive patterns. You can freely say your opinion, but just remember to keep the feelings of your fellow humans in mind! 6) 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙧 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨, 𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙠𝙚𝙮𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙡𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙨 are three of the most common reasons things get declined, so being especially mindful of those can really help make the review process faster! Using the review notes is also very helpful for us when you communicate with us. 7) 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙡𝙤𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙫𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 are some of the more time consuming things to review, because we compare each and every existing variation with the new colors picked. I encourage making variations of patterns that don't have a lot, because it gives those patterns a boost, and as a bonus for us, it's also a lot faster to go through less than 50 variations as opposed to 250, lol. New users commonly make variations of some of the top most popular patterns on the site, when there are other patterns that could benefit more from your chosen colors! Plus, we're a bit more strict with patterns that already have many variations already. We don't want to discourage people from making variations, though! So we consider every variation to every pattern, always! Just being a bit mindful of this process is just a nice way to be! 8) 𝙎𝒄𝙧𝒆𝙚𝒏𝙨𝒉𝙤𝒕𝙨 𝙖𝒓𝙚 𝙝𝒆𝙡𝒑𝙛𝒖𝙡 when you report incidents that happen in private messages. We almost never ban people without some sort of proof, so being prepared to let us see screenshots in some way is super helpful for us to keep the site safe! (Even if you don't have screenshots though, it's good to report anyway!) Most of you are super nice and already do all of these things regularly, which is really, really, great! We're super thankful that we have such awesome people that come together and make BraceletBook a fun place to be 😊
ningc98 Bracelet King	9 months ago by ningc98 like @Tikilishi and @KrazyKnotz said, read the faqs and guidelines and review notes. if ppl would do that then the reviewing wouldn’t take as much time, and no one will be complaining that it’s taking too long or the decline is unfair. win win for everyone
AlmaLlama Bracelet King	9 months ago by AlmaLlama Thank you so much for explaining so in detail @Tikilishi! 😊 This is so helpful even for more "long-time" users on here! 😄 You mods make such a good job on BraceletBook and I hope we, users, can make your work easier in the near future! ❤️ (even if just a little bit 😜) (And sorry for using such an excessive amount of emojis 🙈)
Tikilishi Moderator	9 months ago by Tikilishi I'm glad you found it to be a useful and interesting read @AlmaLlama! Thank you for your kind words! It's so appreciated! 🥰
