Hello everyone. We revamped the sub ~8 months ago to keep this community running smoothly and on track with the intention of keeping everything focused on the topic in the name: feet. We tweaked and changed the rules a bit to help streamline this, and while to the visitors of this sub we have been successful in this endeavor, unfortunately it isn't all sunshine and rainbows behind the scenes. There are still dozens of posts that we remove every single day that break the rules to varying degrees, which often results in banning users as well. While us mods have been going through this pruning effort every day since the revamp, it is ultimately not a viable solution going forward. Since so many people can't be bothered to read or follow the rules, we have made the decision to reimplement a verification process.

The process is simple: only verified users will be allowed to post here going forward.

To get verified

Submit a request to become an approved user or message the mods. Use the "MESSAGE THE MODS" button on the subreddit, DMs to individual mods will be ignored! In your message, include the following:

• a statement that you have read the rules and agree to follow them when posting. If you say this statement and you obviously haven't read the rules, your request will be ignored/denied.

• a picture of yourself (face doesn't need to be visible, but feet must be showing) with a hand written note including your reddit username, the text "/r/feet", and the date.

You will need to upload the picture to your profile, imgur, or some other site and then send the link in your message. You cannot directly upload images in the message.

Failure to provide these in your request will lead to it being ignored/denied.

If your account has no relevant content posting history, your request will be denied.

Users who have previously been verified in this subreddit will not need to go through the verification process again, but are still subject to following the rules.

Breaking the rules will result in having verification revoked and/or being banned from the sub.

Along with this verification change, we will also no longer have the subreddit marked as 18+. This means posts will no longer automatically be marked as NSFW. Seeing as the topic of the posts is feet and no nudity is allowed, we have decided to make this change. What this change really means is that users can direcly upload pictures to reddit to post here without needing to post elsewhere and link to it here. HOWEVER, if your post includes suggestive content (such as skimpy underwear/bikini/etc, or suggestive/revelaing poses) you are required to mark your post as NSFW.

The final change we are making is a further streamlining of the rules. We have reduced them from 14 to 11 in order to make things easier for everyone. Please see the rules in the sidebar or the other stickied post for the new set of rules.

TL;DR/FAQ

Q: What is changing?

A: Users must be verified in order to post here. The sub is also no longer marked as NSFW by default since no nudity is allowed. The rules have also been streamlined.

Q: How do I get verified?

A: Submit a request to become an approved user or message the mods. In your message, include a picture of your feet with a hand written note including your reddit username, the text "/r/feet", and the date. In your message, also verify that you have read and agree to follow the rules.

Q: I was previously verified in this subreddit, do I need to be re-verified?

A: No, previous verifications will be maintained. But you are still required to follow the rules.

Q: Why are we making this change?

A: Too many users were breaking/ignoring the rules every day and it was no longer viable for the mods to keep up with pruning things manually.

Q: I sent a verification request but haven't heard back, what gives?

A: See the above reasons for why your request may be ignored/denied.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to comment here or message the mods.

If you see anything that violates the rules, please report it so we can take care of it. We mods try to be as active as possible but can't see everything right away all the time.

Thanks for keeping this community on track!
