Don't know if this breaks the rules but in the ots why were tramp stamps so popular? Meaning the were used to signify a woman who gets around? Were other tattoos like this in history? (lemmy.world)

But, as head mod, you should know if something is against the rules or not.

So your saying we don't make mistakes and deserve to be called on it? We are not gods or something or whatever power modding at this. Still trying to build engagement and get user I am not above making mistakes. But lets get back to the heart of the manner. Do you think it breaks the rules? Or not?

Firstly, I think any post that starts with, "I don't know if this breaks the rules", should be deleted and the poster should be given a warning for the first offense and banning for the second.

Secondly, you are the head mod for this sub, it is your responsibility as mod to know the rules, and adhere to them full stop.

Moderate much. Or you just looking for an online stupid as argument or 8 little words?
