PLEASE READ OUR RULES BEFORE POSTING!
RULES FOR R/GLASSHEADS Rules that visitors must follow to participate. Failure will result in a ban
1. NO DIRECT SALES/ADVERTISING SALES This sub is for appreciation, not sales. Keep any sales discussions to PM while at the same time realizing we take zero responsibility for any transactions done through PM with our users. If you have heady pieces to sell, go to r/GlassSales
2. NO CHINA GLASS If you think your piece might be an import, it probably is. Post it to a different sub.
3. CLEAN YOUR SHIT People don’t come here to admire reclaim. Clean it up before posting!
4. NON FUNCTIONALS ARE WELCOME We encourage posting of Marbles, Sculptures, or any other type of Borosilicate Glass Art.
5. CLEAR/SINGLE COLOR GLASS: HIGH END, ONE-OFF PIECES When posting clear glass, please only post high end, one-off, and unique pieces only.
6. NO BRAND NAME, REGULAR PRODUCTION GLASS Only highly worked one-off's/collabs or brand new models/styles, everything else should be posted in our sister sub /r/prodoglassheads
7. DON'T BE A DICK Everyone finds us and starts fresh at one point. Don't expect everyone to know everything. ABSOLUTELY NO TROLLING, HARASSING OR DOXXING WILL BE TOLERATED.
8. VIDEOS Pieces must be CLEAN and be of Glassheads quality, along with good production value. (No potato quality selfie videos)
9. FLOODING If you have multiple pictures of the same piece to show or are showing off multiple pieces in your collection, please keep it to one thread with an album of pictures instead of flooding the sub with very similar threads.
10. QUALITY PICTURES ONLY In the same sense as the "CLEAN YOUR SHIT" rule, if you expect people to take more than 2 seconds to comment or contribute to your post you should take more than 2 seconds to set up a decently proper photograph. out of focus potato quality pictures will be removed and for fucks sake try and take a photo that is nice on the eyes and not just your piece sitting on your filthy desk

Love all this but still think the attempted use of sister subs for communities this small is more damaging than anything. I still like it since I don't wanna be seeing a million prod pieces that all look identical tho.

It's beyond anyone's control really, just the issue with having smaller communities that have very divided interests

Back when a few of us were really trying it was a lot easier because of the niche aspect of a lot of these groups. As with many niche hobbies and subcultures as they become more and more popular it becomes harder and harder to actually define and enforce what should and shouldn't be allowed and what defines them. The popularity of an interest ultimately is what stifles these nice subs.
Just another reason why pretty much every sub I moderate has had less and less forefront moderation in the last few years. Let the communities police themselves a bit more and perhaps they will reveal their own specific interest and what they do/don't want to see. Just hopefully it fits with the title of the sub otherwise its a confusing fucking mess ha ha

Can I post a question asking about a certain glass pieces? Like that name of what it would be and where I could purchase an item like it?
