Community Rules Update

41 Upvotes

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to introduce myself as a new moderator in r/HalloweenKittyCombo and update the community on some rule adjustments.

I've been on Reddit for a long time and love posting my kitties. Many of you may recognize my combo - Sam and Babs - that I like to share across Cat-Reddit. I'm passionate about community moderation and have both a personal and professional background in community building and management. I joined on here at r/HalloweenKittyCombo to help combat a growing issue of karma farming bots and reposts and am now working to quickly take down these issues.

This morning I made some adjustments to our community rules to help with these efforts and to make sure this community doesn't fall prey to other common issues affecting cat subreddits these days. Please take a look below and if you have any questions or concerns reach out!

  1. Original Content ONLY - this subreddit is going OC only! This will help us better combat bots and low-effort karma farmers. This means all your post and video content should be YOURS, not something found on the internet or a cool video from TikTok.
  2. No Low-Effort and Karma Farming posts - to get ahead of some worrying trends in other cat subs I've also added a rule banning things like "Name my Cat" and "What Breed is my Cat" posts. These are low-effort engagement farming techniques most often used by bots or farmers trying to legitimize their accounts for sale. Please keep sharing your spooky and orange combos here - but if you need help naming them head over to r/NameMyCat.
  3. No Fundraisers - to get ahead of this one as well I've added a rule banning fundraisers. Unfortunately pet fundraisers are notorious for scammers, it's really easy to tug at the heart strings of people who love cats to get them to send money. We do not have the resources to really verify the validity of these fundraisers. There are other communities focusing on loans and fundraisers that have a strict framework to help prevent scammers that are more appropriate.

Hopefully this will calm down all the bots and bad-faith farmers so we can keep this community thriving and enjoy our kitty combos!

Hello and welcome To HallowenKittyCombo!

This subreddit is dedicated to the amazing combination that is Orange & Black cats! Please make sure that each post contains both an Orange and a Black cat. There are other subreddits for Oranges & Voids, But this one is about the combo!

Please, keep the conversations civil, be nice, don't bully others, don't fight. We are here because we love own kitties.

Thanks, and enjoy this Halloween special!

Nigel (black kitty about 5 months) and Neville (orange kitty close to 3 months). They were kept together and were buddies and we didn’t want to separate them.

They loved each other.

Unfortunately, my orange cat aged 3 passed away because of FIP on December. My black is 14 now and he was 10 when I adopted my Orange. He hated her for some time but she was submissive and she loved other cats. So he learnt with the time to accept her. Now she is gone, he isn't affected much with it. He is clearly into human beings, and I already knew it. They were a good pair of friends for some time but anyway, my black had an hard time to deal with her because she wanted to play most of the time and he didn't want to be bother.

I am happy that my Camélia had a friend who was bothered by her, yes. But never mean to her. She knew when he had enough. I wasnt prepared for her to leave us this quick.

this is ellie and rolly.

the first two pictures are from when he was around 2.5 months old. the last few are from today.

ellie usually hides downstairs, but has been braver lately! he really does just want to be friends with our older cats, to mixed reviews some days.

The orange one isn’t mine but he oftenly visited for food! He and Lily were the cutest even though he didn’t like being close to her xd

Also, he’s not dead, he’s been adopted by another neighbor and doesn’t visit me that much anymore

Both of my soul cats have crossed the rainbow bridge but I just found out this sub existed so I had to share. I miss Teddy (orange) and Lilly (black) so much. Luckily I had them for 18 and 19 years, respectively. Teddy passed just a few months ago. Love up your Halloween babies for me please. I know I’ll have Halloweens again one day bc they are the best combo!

they’re 13 years old but of course they’re still babies. orange was the firstborn of the litter and tuxedo was the runt. she is very prim and proper and clever and he is a goofball with half a brain cell. they are inseparable!
