## Get it right If you have not formatted your post properly and tried to post again but got the "You can only post once every 7 days" message, this bit is for you. The bot used to check this doesn't work as effectively as we hope, for that reason, I am building a replacement, but I haven't got a ton of time so will take a while. But, on the flip side of the coin, the rules are clear, stickied at the top and on the sidebar, to go with that the expectations of the community will always be a higher priority than the convenience of people who didn't pay attention. I will be working to fix this, but as a shorthand (and therefore now in 3 places): - put a # before your location e.g. #South - no really, PUT A HASH (#) BEFORE YOUR LOCATION - this is what my bot looks for - Do not put your location as; outside London, just London, UK, or online ## People not in London Whilst talking to some community members, of which many are great folks, I have asked what some of the pain points are. Turns out there are a lot of people in this sub from outside London. The scenario is that in replying to a London-based post (you know the reason we are here), OP is asked "Can you travel to XXXXX". Some places that have been reported are: - Slough - Buckinghamshire - Chelmsford - Fucking LEEDS! If you are found to be not asking for meets within the M25 then it is an instant, permanent ban, and I will be looking for you. For everyone posting, if you are propositioned by someone outside of London who is not looking to meet within the M25, please screenshot it and send it to Modmail so I can ban them. ## OnlyFans There have been a few posts that are along the lines of "looking to start an OnlyFans", not sure how to approach this one. So, it could be seen as "Inappropriate exchange", but on the other hand, the act is consensual with or without financial gain. I dunno, let me know what you think. ## Success Well, March has seen a few success posts, and I'm leaving them up as I think it's good for the community to see that it's not just throwing posts/replies into the ether. But this is the direction we all want to be heading in! Aside from the public stories of success I also get to hear a lot more in ModMail and chat. If we work together to fulfil our shared purpose, meet the expectations of the community, and show respect, we will have success stories to share in the end.
