I'll be honest. It was a 90% likelihood that this post was going to announce the end of seller posts on AGW. But with everyone's lives upturned in recent weeks, I put it off. Selling has gotten out of hand on AGW, but I did ask for solutions and many were offered by both sellers and others. So lets give them a try for a month or so and see if it makes any substantial difference. If we can find a way for everyone to still post without overwhelming the subreddit, we should try it. I hope all sellers feel the same way and do your best to follow the rules and the spirit behind them.As always, absolutely no mentions of selling/money/gifts, and/or personal subreddits/websites/social media on AGW. This will be strictly enforced.Sellers are to keep to 1 post a day and not flood the subreddit. If you have a few similar pics you'd like to post, post them as an album or spread it out over a few days. A good rule of thumb is if your last post says "1 day ago", you are good to post again. We expect sellers to honor this and will remove posts of sellers who flood the sub over a short period of time with a warning and possible banning. This rule is now moderated by a bot, and you will only be able to post 24 hours after your last post. Please adjust accordingly.No seller posting on weekends, Friday 11:59PM EST through Sunday 11:59PM EST (New York City time). Everyone can have fun on Friday, but Saturday and Sunday will be reserved for non-sellers to encourage new posters and non-sellers to get more recognition and a foothold.In an effort to encourage original content and discourage spamming, no pictures/content that has been posted to multiple other subs or selling subs. Just so there is no confusion, we are going to go with 5 posts as the limit that an image/video can be posted to other subs.Watermarks are allowed to protect your content from being used elsewhere, but it must be the same as your username. No social media or website names unless the same as your posting name. Only u/ prefix, not r/ or @.No selling/soliciting usernames. For example, buymestuff, lookingforasugardaddy, or usernamepanties.No indirect selling. For example, "check my profile" or "PM me for more."No covered up/censored posts offering more if contacted. We do allow some mild posts because people like them and like to see their favorite poster in a different context, or because someone is new and building up the courage to post, but posting censored content with the intention to sell the uncensored content later will not be allowed.No posting, deleting, and reposting the same image over and over.Use of voting bots/voting services are prohibited. If there is evidence of upvote manipulation like this, your account may be suspended or banned.No posts by sellers with managers/promoters or are part of a studio or organized seller groups. Sellers must be independent amateurs. No posting on behalf of posters by managers/promoters/photographers.Message for buyers. Selling is not allowed on AGW. If you make arrangements with a seller outside of AGW, we will not referee any disputes. Be cautious of who you spend money on and do your due diligence. Buyer beware. Report people who are misrepresenting who they are and we will request verification.Edited 04/04/20 to clarify a couple of rules.Edited 05/28/20 to add info about 1 post/24 hours bot
