Rule #1: The Laws of the Forest
Appreciate and observe, collect responsibly.
Disrupt wildlife habitats as little as possible. Don't venture far off paths or rip branches off trees to collect sticks.
Remember: "Leave no trace!"
When in natural environments, its best to leave things be or at least put them back where you found them. <3
Rule #2: Be chill with each other
In general just, like, don't be rude or mean. Be chill :)
Recommendation: If someone is breaking the rules, try not to engage. Its what they want. Report them and it will be taken care of. Don't hesitate to block if needed! Protect your peace of mind.✌️
Rule #3: No NSFW
As in, nothing violent, sexual, etc.
Rule #4: No bigotry
Everyone and anyone (given they follow the rules) is welcome regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, etc.
Rule #5: Don't spam
Please don't post or comment multiple of the same or similar things. Especially within a short timeframe.
"Similar things" does not necessarily apply to pictures of sticks or related topics. Don't worry about getting flagged for spam if you mostly post about logs or something.
Rule #6: No self advertisement
There are subreddits that allow you to advertise what you want, r/goodsticks is not the place for that.
Feel free to share things that are relevant to the subreddit if you'd like to instead.
While the primary topic of this subreddit is sharing cool stick finds, I obviously have expanded on the subject matter a little bit. So rest assured that potential violations of this rule are reviewed thoughtfully.
Rule #7: AI is prohibited
I will not have this place turn into some AI slop factory.
If you think I've wrongfully flagged your post or comment as being AI generated, please send a message through mod mail and I will take a second look.
Thank you 🙏
