FAQ from new members:

• "Why was my post removed?" - 99% of the time, it broke a rule. Make sure you're reading those first thing before making any requests.

• "Why is my request not gaining any traction?" - It probably looks identical to every other request for the recent major collabs. Your goal is to be as creative as possible to help your request stand out. Add some pet pictures, videos, memes, etc etc. it'll get people talking and eventually a gifter will find their way to you if they do choose.

• "Why was I banned but I was nothing but positive?" - This one actually isn't within our control. Sure, we have the occasional creep or person with a history in buying/selling Fortnite accounts that get the axe, but recently we've had an issue with users getting falsely banned simply for boosting. To combat this, make sure your comments vary from post to post when boosting, or that you're using different boost images on different posts to avoid Reddit as a whole banning you for suspected spam.

• "Should I delete my post if ______?" - No. under no circumstances should a user delete a request themselves, both past or present. For archival purposes we ask that if you feel it's an absolute necessity to remove your post to send a modmail with your reasoning and a member of the team will reach out to confirm and remove said post. If you remove the post and try to request again it'll be removed by the bot for spam, this isn't the case if a mod removes the post for you.

• "Why can't I click anything in the hub?" - the front hub page is a visual guide on what's available with a drop down menu that allows you to visit each helpful section. Within each section is a group of posts that allow members to understand everything that goes on within the community, as well as our discord link. The drop down menu is usually located within the top bar of the hub.

• "can I post more than 1 request a day?" - No.

• "can I enter AI art in talents for gifts?" - Absolutely not. Permaban.

• "What is a cooldown?" - When a user receives a gift we place them on what's called a "cooldown" timer which prevents them from making another request until the timer is up. This allows a wider range of gifts to be given to more members without it seeming like the same people are gifted over and over.

• "Why do some members have longer cooldowns than others?" - That all comes down to the gift received. Anything 1,400 Vbucks and below is a 7 day cooldown. Anything 1,500 Vbucks and above, up to 2,500 max*, is a 14 day cooldown. Things gifted with real currency, such as FN Crew or the Bunny Mummy bundle, then the member will receive a 30 day cooldown since it's much more involved process to be gifted these items.

*(This threshold for gifts does not apply to Wed/Thurs Talents for gifts.)

Please, if you have any more questions feel free to ask and I will address them here. We want to make sure everyone understands how to make posts in the community.

Best of luck on all your requests🍀🔮

Something that needs to be addressed.

After some recent events and much deliberation, it's with heavy hearts that we, both as a mod team and a community, part ways with one of our team members; Turtle.

Turtle has recently displayed certain actions that do not represent what we're looking for in a moderator or as a member of our community.

While this is surely a sudden change, know that the team is doing its best to remain a strong unit and that we are united in our decisions; nothing happens without multiple channels of discussion.

We harbor no ill will and genuinely wish him the absolute best on his endeavors as we keep our heads up and move forward. We ask that our members respect his privacy and to not reach out with anymore sub related matters, we have modmail for that.

Thanks to everyone for your support and for being a part of FNGifting.
