So, when this community was created, the original mod imposed the following rule

No Japanese schoolgirl/“sailor” uniforms.

Now, I notice @amber_seducious@lemmynsfw.com’s Post Here is actually breaking this rule… However, it has receive a considerable amount of positive engagement.

This aligns with my personal opinion that the “No serafuku” rule is needlessly restrictive.

So my question is, shall we remove this rule? Please discuss in the comments. if there is no decent argument against the rule change 72 hours from this post, I will action the change

Thanks!
Your friendly neighbourhood mod,
NotAtAllSafeForWork

    Take a deep breath there, mate.

    Seeing the engagement was only part of the decision. I didn’t quite agree with the rule when I first took ownership of this community but didn’t feel I should be making a change immediately after taking over. The engagement is not permission, but it is an indication of interest. If anything, getting permission to change the rule from the comms users is exactly what this post is about, the engagement of the post that I mentioned only prompted me to post this.

    When people read /c/SchoolgirlSkirts it signifies “this is where you post schoolgirl cosplay related content” but the rules allow for only a particular subset of this content. Another possibility would be to rename the comm to /c/WesternSchoolgirlSkirts but, I don’t really feel we need to stratify our comms that much.

    Open to any and all input, but you don’t gotta accuse people of child pornography at every turn :/

      Downvote me all you like. Indication of interest has no relationship to appropriateness. Again I have zero cards in the game. Never accused anyone of child porn. I believe you may be needing to take a deep breath in this case
