RE: Introducing the "Grilling and Smoking" Community

You know what bothered me the most was probably the fact that I had been publishing there for a few years without any issues and suddenly I received a comment to read the rules and add selfies. I had no clue this was a new rule, because let's be honest, once you are familiar with a community, you won't read the rules every time before you hit publish.

The tone in the message was rude even though I said that's a shame because I can't do that I was met with more rudeness. I'm not your typical "f the rules" hive member who doesn't care if you made them. It's the fact I didn't know and a friendlier message was probably smarter to send people who are long time publishers in the community.

It's sad though because since then I didn't really feel that some content (food related) fit anywhere when hitting publish. I would love to see more sub communities like this. And of course when you allow it, you don't have the "prepping" pictures so I would set a minimum set of photos as a requirement or X words whatever.

You can create a good post without being the chef, I have written quite a few good foodies posts over the years..

Your community will definitely get some more visibility if you allow it, so please let me know when you do because I love eating BBQ :)
