Excessive Trends/Over Saturation of a Certain Topic

Hi everyone.

As you may have noticed there are a lot of posts currently about guessing someone’s birth year based off of the items they grew up with. This trend is fun so we understand why a lot of people want to participate, but we also need to maintain some kind of balance.

This has happened in the past with other trends and even happens sometimes with certain topics. We are creating a new post removal reason called excessive similarity so we can try to make sure there is a good variety of topics at any given time.

If you get a post removed for excessive similarity please do not take it personally. It doesn’t mean that anything is wrong with your post and you’re not in any sort of trouble. It just means that too many people already posted about that topic on that day. You are welcome to retry your post on a different day when less people are talking about that topic or trend.

It’s always a good habit to quickly skim current posts before posting something new, but not everyone does that so we need a way to maintain balance when it comes to subject matter.

Thank you so much.
