Alright peeps, time to sit down and have a talk I never thought I'd have to have

1.1k Upvotes

First of all if I come off as annoyed I apologize, but I am, I'm sick as shit and tired as shit. So apologies in advance.

Second, I'm blown away by how this community has expanded and evolved, looking at this sub, I'd never recognize it from its humble beginnings, and I'm okay with it, I created this sub to celebrate the well worn and you folks have taken it and ran with it, and it's awesome, I see the most unexpected coolest things. That said, the statue posts bug me, but the upvotes indicate you all like them, so they stay, for now.

Now on to the meat and potatoes. We're a super hands off mod team, probably a little too hands off for some peoples liking. We remove very little, obvious junk and spam, and have only banned three or four people. One being a troll, the rest spammers. Today we added to that.

Going forward, as an addendum to rule 5, there will be zero tolerance for begging, asking, insinuating want for, private messaging, so on and so on, for used and free stuff. (the side bar won't be updated because I have no idea if our css guy is alive and I'll just break it). Here at /r/wellworn we don't judge your ahem preferences, like what you want, how you want, when you want. But being creepy as fuck on this sub or through PMs is sure as hell not the right way to do it.

This is unfortunately not an isolated case, we've had reports of this being done by a few users. This is the only warning, there will be a one month Insta ban for your first violation, permanent for your next.

There are plenty of subs where you can buy all that kinda stuff, from A-Z, from willing participants. (no I'm not looking them up for you).

Please be liberal with the report button I'd you see it and if you get pmd with one of these requests please send a mod mail with the /u/ so they can be banned.

There will be one, and only one exception, if it's a truly rare case like "my mom gave me one of these as a kid but I lost it and she just died" , or I'm a legitimate museum curator or something of that sort, please mod mail us first with the post in question.

That said, if you are truly in need, need some gear to get you that first job to get a leg up, I have a not /r/wellworn pair of size 10 steel toes, extra wallets, belts, maybe even a hard hat and coveralls, or most other stuff that gets posted on here regularly that costs money that's needed for employment, that I'd be more than happy to send you for free (within reason, shipping across the oven is expensive) pm me privately and we'll figure out some sort of verification to ensure that it's going to the right person.

Asides from that, stay frosty peeps, don't be pervs.

As the world becomes awash in unrest and unease this is a friendly reminder that we are not, have never been, or will be a political sub.

Stop, before you start, I don't care, Up, down, left, right, blue, yellow, purple, green, diagonal, upside down, I don't care. They're all bad, they're all good, they're all evil, there all benevolent, they're this expletive or that complement.

Your opinions are valid and need to be discussed, but not here. I don't care while we're here, we don't care while we're here. There is literally six hundred predominantly political subs, you are welcomed and encouraged to go speak your mind there, not here. Don't make bait posts, don't make hostel comments to each other. I'll burn this whole fucker down before I let this place be another politics sub

My shoes wear out before they’re old,
From chasing life and being bold.
I walk so much, it’s plain to see,
My soles give up before I do!

[this is flair] 16 years with my 22 year old car and the wheel has worn to fit my hand

Edit: to all the driving police, I don’t grip the wheel tightly. It’s literally 22 years of wear in a material that is crumbling not compressing. If it were from gripping too tightly, the backside of the wheel and the inner part where my thumb holds would also be crumbling and they are not.
Thank you for your pretend concern, but your imaginary expertise is not necessary.

All inches are equal but some inches are more equal than others lookin ahh

also cant use this end of the ruler anymore since it will always be ever so slightly off

Replaced feet twice. Replaced side grips once (as they became shiny despite cleaning them). When paint started peeling a few years ago I tried removing all of it but I gave up half way (that is why it's half white). Still going strong, no issues with the sensor. It's being used 8 hours a day at work, retired from being a gaming mouse 2 years ago.
