Hi everyone!

Thank you for all your messages of support and being patient while we work through all your suggestions and requests! We have 2.6k subscribers! WOW!

r/abdiscussion was founded to be a discussion oriented subreddit for Asian Beauty products, beauty products, brands, trends, reviews, tools and application methods.

We have no intention of being anything other than this, or to remake any other subreddit. We like our founding goals, and we know that you do too, which is why you’re here!

As there is so much work ahead, we have decided that rather than try to have a complete set of rules in place, we will tackle the most pressing, and roll out more changes in batches. These are just the first, and many are temporary while we stabilise.

Posting Guidelines:

• r/abdiscussion is for open-ended discussion on Asian Beauty that add to our collective knowledge pool. Questions with definite answers, that can be answered with an internet search, do not encourage discussion or are thinly veiled personal posts are not appropriate and will be removed.

• When creating a discussion topic, any answers or examples should go in the comments as a reply to your own post. This is so your own experience does not automatically dominate the discussion.

• Daily/Weekly Help Threads are something we never had any intention to have. However, reading your comments we understand the value, and are currently looking into a way to format them in such a way where users problem solve together, not just asking to fix their problems with no context. No-one should feel obligated to help anyone else. We hope to have a format in place for next week.

• Reviews are temporarily suspended. Similar to the DHT/WHT, we can see their benefit, but we are still working on a format that encourages discussion. We hope to have a format in place for next week.

Other items:

• A Discord channel will be available, it is just currently lower down in our priority list.

• We are looking for new mods, but that announcement will be made later with specifications of what we are looking for, at the moment we know we will need a CSS mod, so if you’re great with CSS please be on the look out for that!

Next Steps:

We know there is a lot more we have yet to mention, but please know that we are very much on the case! Things like, blogger rules, flairs, big picture plans, what to go in the wiki are all things we are still actively discussing. We just felt like it would be best to clarify the general posting guidelines as soon as possible.

We are very excited to be working hard to create a Reddit community we can all be proud of. AB is an amazing community, and we know that with your help, this subreddit can be a place where we’re excited to check every day!
