A: Note that not all submissions are approved whether they meet the guidelines or not.
It’s not personal, posts get declined for a number of reasons. Admin/moderator decisions are final.
The key reasons for declining submissions are as follows.

1. Not crap - The photo was considered to be not crap enough by an admin

2. Subject is not a wild animal - Animals must be in the wild. Sometimes we make mistakes, and it’s not always obvious.

3. Subject is not alive - Deceased animals will be declined, except in predator/prey situations. Inanimate objects will be declined.

4. Non-original content - The photo is not taken by you, or someone you know.

5. Videos and text-only posts - These will always be declined.

6. No specified reason - Some submissions may be declined whether they meet the guidelines or not. We often receive a number of very similar submissions, of which we try to choose the most humorous or interesting.

A: Sometimes we need some time to catch up, this will generally happen on Sundays, but there may be other times when the group is closed for submissions.

# data[].attributes.body
Discussions about religion and politics may be removed without warning.
Modmins may post off-topic posts from time to time as they see fit.

# data[].attributes.body
If your image hasn't appeared on the site for a period of time, be patient - we receive many submissions every day and there may be a backlog.

# data[].attributes.body
Videos are not accepted. They take a long time to review, and we have enough submissions to go through as it is. Screencaps from videos are allowed.

# data[].attributes.body
If it's difficult to tell from your photo whether the subject is wild or not it may be declined. It's a good idea to state in the caption that the subject is wild, this will help avoid any confusion and greatly increase the chance of your post being approved if the subject is a wild animal that is often domesticated.
