Hey guys, not sure what or if we’ll get anything from D23 but here’s a space for us to chat about it anyway. MTFBWY 🙏

#Rule 2

> Please do not engage in arguments regarding how people choose to use their planners (i.e. functional, messy, decorative, etc...). Please remember that people are essentially posting pictures of their diaries and thoughts that can be personal to them. We all will have differing opinions of life, politics, religion, etc… Please keep this in mind before you post or respond to a post.

#Rule 6:

>Keep it fun!

I’m not interested in being the positivity or comment police, just want everyone to please keep this in mind and also be patient with the reveals since we are only 1/3 of the way through. There’s 12 days left!

Sorry if my modding was lacking/on the slow side yesterday, I was traveling on Monday and still readjusting, wasn’t paying as much attention here as usual. Please keep using and trusting the report feature.

#A FEW SPECIAL RULES FOR RELEASE MONTH

• Please use the SPOILERS post tag for any leaked announcements prior to the official announcment.

• Every posted wishlist throughout August should also include a Techo Kaigi (which briefly gives the purpose or plan for each techo) either in the post or the comments! This is to help promote discussion. It’s ok if your notes for some of your wishlist techos are “I like this and am trying to figure out how to use it” lol. We have all been there!

• On release day (Sept 1/Aug 31) and throughout the month of September we do not allow separate posts about initial purchases. We will have megathreads where people can discuss their purchases and ask questions. This is just because screenshots of shopping carts don’t inspire much discussion, and people can help each other with purchase issues more easily in a dedicated megathread. Simple rule: post your haul when you get it, not your cart when you order it!

• The Hobonichi subreddit has a tradition of letting the box color be a surprise for every member of the subreddit for the first couple of weeks of September. As a courtesy use the SPOILERS tag for your haul post if it includes the box. Please also don’t include the box in the first image even if you use the spoiler tag, in case the tag doesn’t work (this is just a request, we won’t those remove posts as long as they are spoiler tagged). We will make another announcement about this closer to September so we can all be on the same page. Our community has grown and not everybody knows about the stuff we did when we were smaller. I’m hoping we can continue this tradition.

• This is not a rule specific to release months but a reminder: our subreddit is not a hobonichi retailer. Please contact your retailer if there is an issue with your order! If you post about an issue but it’s clear you have not reached out to the retailer before posting, your post will be removed. However, if you have a negative experience with a retailer that does NOT get resolved despite attempts to do so, that’s the kind of info our community welcomes. We are not affiliated with any retailers or Hobonichi Official, this rule has been in place for a long time and is about maintaining civility and preventing any unjustified internet bandwagonning.
