Thanks everyone for the comments, feedback, and voting in the polls we setup to get a snapshot of how the community feels on some of the rules.

Here are the results of the 4 polls below:

1. Youtube 9:1 Rule Poll (subset of rule 2) Results

2. Animals/Humans in the Shot Poll (subset of rule 5) Results

3. Presence of watermarks/stamps on posts Poll (subset of rule 2) Results

4. Rule 8 Artwork Poll (rule 8) Results

We did get some takeaways from this, and we are internally discussing discord and some discretionary removal options to open up some approvals on watermarks/animals/humans in the shot depending on moderator load.

Starting next week, we will be beginning the 4th Annual Aquarium Madness march madness bracket! The comments section will be open for nominations. Please comment with your nomination as a contender for this years winner! If you see a duplicate nomination, please create a duplicate comment (upvote/downvote is too easily abused).

How it works: The bracket will be split into 4 regions of 16 (similar to the real March Madness). Each region will be an aquarium "category" to try to keep it fair across some of the over-represented/under-represented categories.

What counts: Any aquatic life is technically permitted. Semi-aquatic life will be judged on submission to its relevance to the aquarium hobby.

Each category will have:

12 fish from the previous year, seeded by their results last year, automatically getting a slot.
4 fish that will be chosen by the nomination in this comment section. Those top 4 of that category will be instantly in as a contender in that brackets region.

Voting this year will still be by polltab and will have abuse protection enabled.

Happy nominating!
