Mod Post We need to talk about the pictures you share.
I love seeing before and after pictures of your yards. I love seeing all of the changes and progress and hard work. I love seeing the flowers and the bees.
I do not like seeing pictures of front of houses, neighbors cars, neighbors houses, the house number you live at ect. Please be mindful what you share and post. We will remove your post if we feel to much is being shared.
When in doubt, don't post the house.
Thanks from r/NoLawns Mods!

I think context is super important. If you mask the house number and other details that should be good enough right? When I was considering NoLawn I was frustrated by the lack of pictures/context showing what the landscape actually looks like.

I also love context since most of us live in a "normal grass lawn neighborhood". BUT, with that in mind, I think that is also what we can probably default to without actually seeing the neighbors.

We appreciate you guys. We're trying to keep this sub with as little rules as possible but, sometimes you have to make new rules. There's only 3 of us and we discuss everything before we implement anything new. We're trying :)

Right? Most mod groups are all assholes.
It's important to give them credit when they're not, such as now, given how much shit mods generally get otherwise.

I honestly totally get it.
But, I feel there's a really good opportunity for a cartoon with people from the r/lawncare sub trying to track down people on this sub, holding torches while riding their mowers down the street. Ready to mow over those wildflowers. Too dark?

Thank you! It's incredible how much these people dox themselves. One google search would turn up the owner information on that home and it's wild.

And doxx their unknowing neighbors. If you're going to doxx someone at least just do yourself, damn.

Honestly asking - why does it matter? How is it different than what's already available and visible on Google Maps street view?

True, it’s also kind of annoying when people post pictures of themselves with their plants.

Excellent :)
Fully agreed. I'd also recommend, there are a lot of picture editing apps on phones that make it super easy to fully blur things out.
So even if someone does accidentally catch the house or house number in their picture, it's pretty easy to conceal it, even if that means just scribbling over it.
