How I feel while playing FIFA after smoking a huge bong of kief : trees

Right, no knocks against your post. I agree that is totally connected to trees. But then again, who is to say that everything we do isn't connected to trees.

For example, I posted a video, that i made while high, inspired by trees, and edited super high. I definitely think r/trees would have enjoyed it, but the mods disagreed. Within a minute it was removed because the mods thought it had nothing to do with r/trees.

I messaged the mods asking why other artwork (like the sharpie drawing of a circle and triangle with drippy colors coming down) are acceptable, and something similar like mine is not. They replied by saying "Thanks for the heads up", and they removed that post.

I feel bad for that artist now, cuz it wasn't my intention for the mods to delete it, it was an example of their bais, and I want all ent artwork to be shown here.

TL;DR: Who decides what artwork/images are related to trees or not? I think the community of r/trees should, not the mods.

So i posted this video i made, which was removed immediately. EDIT: Mods just 'reinstated' this post. So its now a day old, so.. yea i might just repost it.

I asked the mods why and they said it was irrelevant, so i sent another message showing that other artworks that are all just inspired/motivated by trees: http://www.reddit.com/r/trees/comments/x0ssy/i_like_to_draw_after_a_few_rips/ http://www.reddit.com/r/trees/comments/ws360/i_make_desktop_wallpapers_when_im_stoned_and/ http://www.reddit.com/r/trees/comments/wzdxd/not_prepared_for_many_upvotes_but_any_other_ents/ And said this:

What i'm getting at is how do you decide what has a reference to cannabis or not? Food has the same reference to cannabis as art: they're both enhanced by it. Of course everything is better high, but saying that art has no reference to cannabis, especially when the creator is saying it does, seems slightly unjustified. I would just like unbiased moderation - If you're gunna delete any content that has no reference to cannabis or the community, you might as well remove ALL content that is titled "i like to draw when i'm high". My video was created for a community like this to see, and just because [the mod who delete it] thinks its irrelevant, doesn't mean the community thinks its irrelevant. Consistency would be nice, but i guess you all have to come to an agreement. If it's to remove any art that [seems] irrelevant, you're doing it wrong. EDIT: I sincerely apologize to those artists that had their work(above) removed. I was hoping mods would have realized that deleting inspiring posts was unjustified, but I was wrong.

I agree with you 100% and I am very sorry to hear about your run in with the mods over your video that you had made.

I think mods have been overly judicious recently due to the flooding of the sub by vapid content. Obviously what you submitted was not vapid (No art is vapid!), and there is something seriously wrong with r/trees if user created art is being deleted.

As a matter of fact a fellow ent and I started up a subreddit for user created art specifically because we felt that such posts were being kept from the community, not by mods, but rather by vapid meme after vapid meme.

So when I hear that mods are removing user created art I start to get very nervous.

This is something I am very concerned about and I would like to help you stand your ground in defense of user created art being allowed on r/trees.

Now if you had come here defending memes as art we may have had a disagreement, but your video was not vapid or vacuous. What the fuck was that mod thinking?
