The ”No Captions” rule:  This message is NOT a change or update but JUST a reiteration.

Please read this carefully, I nor the MOD's have the time to coddle anyone any further in this regard.

After the resent contest concluded post submissions in the “Epithalamic” genre (a genre originally championed by MasterFrank / Frank2woos) to go live on the feed have been getting further and further from acceptable.
Let this message serve as a notice that all posts currently on the feed (that have missed the mark) may remain BUT… BUT… going forward content missing the mark will be removed under the “No Captions rule”!  ****PLEASE NOTE: if he posts that are allowed to stay get toomany user reports or complaints… same as always… will be removed ☹***

Either level up your skills or up level up your effort to “Not be a Caption” post (as detailed in the original contest post).

This is the original post detailing the contest rules & (the announcement that the MODs will be enforcing the original spirit of our long standing:  No Captions rule.

Somewhere this LONG post were the HALMARKS you would need to incorporate into your content to be acceptable.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

I will quickly skim over some of the issues with some of the resent submissions that made them Captions and not acceptable as Hypno/ hypno like/ or conditioning.
 
The content frames should change with the beat / rhythm/ tempo  of the music ect. (such an elementary mistake).

The text on the screen should be one & very rarely two words on the screen that WOULDN’T draw your attention away from the content.
The words should also only BLIP on the screen with the rhythm (on & off) not lingering or distracting the user.

The actual content must be germane to the sub-reddit.

Music shouldn't be too distracting (not suitable choice for the genre)

The voice (narrating or not narrating) the text must be audible levels of sound.
NOTE: Regardless of voice narration or not the requirement for music or rhythmic sound still exists.

Too many ciswomen or male POVs? (I CAN’T think a very valid reason a creator would use a male POV in sissy content… LOL

The messages trying to be conveyed in the content was thrown together, random, and didn’t actually want to help a user be furtively convinced to see or think in way the creator would want them to see it. Start out with the message or what you would like to convince the user to understand/ the seed you would like to plant.

 We’ve even seen some that offended the sub-reddits rules… really?

Ect ect ect

After our monthly MOD/ ADMIN meeting for our sub-reddit and sister sub-reddits it was apparent that the MODs here on the SissyHypno Sub got a little loosie goosey when approving low effort content (in regards to this genre as far as captions).

You are (or aspiring to be) a content creator not someone to slop regular content to build a library.
The original thought behind the contests this sub-reddit was hosting was to inspire creators to hone their skills and get others to dip their toe in the water.
“SOME” creators in our genres (and adjacent genres) just pump out content that has no heart. It is just flashing scenes with music. Anyone can do that.

You all know that there is a “Creator” User Flair but do you know that our subreddit has a “Esteemed Artist” User Flair?
Currently, it’s only been awarded 9 times. (Mostly because many of our genres artists didn’t even use Reddit. If they did, it would have been awarded like 1,000,000 time … LOL… J/k). Creators that regularly go beyond just editing some content to get it online. They got in our heads, crawled around tickling our cortex… they… weren’t really creators… they were artists.

Sorry for the rabbit trail there… back to business.

If the content you post is removed for no captions the MOD’s can no longer spend hours sending messages back and forth with you while you build your skills about why your content didn’t make the grade. (There a consultants for that lingering around here).

Between this post and the “OLD Contest” (NO LONGER LIVE contest)  link  provided above you should be able to work it out.

Once this Announcement has had a chance to get out to everyone and things start “Getting Right” this post will be replaced with our Sub-Reddits NEW CONTEST!!!

Sorry, for being so blunt but the MOD’s here like to come and enjoy themselves too. When they come to the sub they’re over run with so much MOD work that it isn’t fun anymore. Check in , work leave… It’s not fair to them either.

"IF" (only if) you have several posts removed and it is apparent you aren't reading this message that will also be sent to you (if you regularly have posts removed) OR not read the rules.... a short ban (likely removable when appealed) may be necessary to catch your attention. That ISN'T a threat! Seriously, some people post & post & post and never read messages or why past posts are removed... that's all.

If you're are indeed giving a best effort it will be apparent to us and a removable ban WON'T be necessary.

Chat With Your Fellow Sweethearts & Sluts

THIS is the place to have discussions that typically aren't permitted in a feed post.

Comments should pertain to Sissy-Hypno or a closely related topic.

BE WARNED:

Although in this chat post the Sub Rules are relaxed quite a bit, there still are the rules!

A rule that will be strictly enforced is: (NO AD's & No Soliciting Contact).

ANY comment that can even slightly be interpreted as soliciting contact or an AD (at the MOD’s descension) will be removed & the user will face an appropriate ban (likely to be permanent)… It’s that simple… don’t eat the fruit of that tree!
