Mod Post New Cake Flair

307 Upvotes

Due to the number of cake posts in this sub, and requests to allow filtering of them, we are adding a new flair: “cake-spectation”

For cake posts, please use this flair - and we as mods can change the flair if reported as “incorrect flair” as well. This should make it easier for those who don’t want to see cake posts to filter them out.

--

Also - u/two-ls made the subreddit r/expecaketionvsreality specifically for cake expectations!

Mod Post Nail Posts Megathread — Share Your Nails Here 💅

122 Upvotes

This thread is for all nail-related Expectation vs. Reality posts. Please share all successful, exceeded, or failed nail posts here rather than creating separate posts. Individual nail posts outside this thread may be removed and redirected here.

This change is intended to keep nail content available for those who enjoy it while allowing users who prefer not to see nail posts to easily skip this thread.

Mod Post New flairs added

228 Upvotes

Hello all! We have added 3 new flairs, for Failed Expectations, Surprisingly Met Expectations, and Exceeded Expectations.

There have been some users confused in the past, because they didn’t realize that you are allowed to post expectations/realities that were not failures. Additionally, it can be hard to tell in some posts if the OP was happy with their result or unhappy with it. Now you can select a flare if you would like to denote which category your expectation versus reality falls into.

Thanks to u/xitg1 who came up with this suggestion.

Mod Post Reminder to use the AI Expectation Flair!

138 Upvotes

We have added a 6th rule to this subreddit - "Use the correct flair". This is especially important for the AI Expectation flair, as some users do not enjoy seeing the AI expectations, and this allows the posts to remain up without being reported.

Mod Post Temporary Ban on Legendary Pastries

508 Upvotes

Hey y’all. We get it. The legendary pastry’s icing sometimes melts and then looks weird. Some people have never seen it on their own pastries, but we all have seen the posts here.

Temporarily going to ban all of the new legendary pastry posts. The point has already been made.
