Reminder: this is thalassophobia, not sharkweekly or the dailywhale! - 2nd Community post


Hello everyone!We have recently seen a lot of submission which weren't related to the purpose of this subreddit: to trigger/admire thalassophobia. This is the fear of the deep dark ocean for those who might not know it. The fear of a huge creature swimming below you counts as well, but a simple picture of a deep sea creature or a shark is not going to cut it.That is why we will be removing every submission which is not thalassophobia related. This counts as well for irrelevant/unnecessary titles/comments, memes/jokes, unnecessary text posts and reposts. Don't feel watched like you are on Russia's news team: please keep enjoying the subreddit.Yes, whether a submission is relevant or not to the subreddit can be questionable, but it will be up to us to decide this.We will decide it based on reports and our own opinion, since we are the creators and have been here since the beginning.If you, the subscribers, do not agree with this, then please let us know and we will try to find another solution.What can you do to help us, you ask?Report the submission if you think it doesn't follow the rules. Please do fill in the report box saying why you reported it (either "repost" or "irrelevant"). DO NOT, leave nasty comments, please. This counts especially for reposts: not everyone is here all the time or since the beginning, and it is difficult to search for a relevant title.Also, only complaining about how many reposts/irrelevant images there are isn't going to help anyone. Report them and we will deal with the rest.TL;DR: we will be removing anything irrelevant based on subscriber's reposts and our own opinions.We hope that you can understand, and as always: keep enjoying the subreddit!PS: we are working on the colors of the subreddit, so please wait patiently for it to finish!
