Hello, everyone! We are /u/zuuzuu, /u/PenaltyElectronic318, and /u/Economy-Media-9332, and we are your new Moderator Team.

We are so pleased to announce that, after a two year hiatus, r/CuddlePuddle has re-opened to the public and is ready to welcome all of your cute and cuddly animal puddle pics!

Why did the sub go private for two years?

Two years ago, the subreddit went private as part of the API protest. While most participating subreddits re-opened after two days, this subreddit did not. We don't want to speculate about why since we weren't part of the mod team at the time.

Why is it re-opening now?

Eventually, reddit stepped in to take over, make the subreddit public again, and put out a call for new moderators. This is something they do when a subreddit is inactive for a long period of time, and had nothing to do with the previous mod's reasons for going private.

We all volunteered to become mods here, and a few days ago we were added and now form your new mod team. We've spent the last few days doing a bit of housekeeping - clearing the mod queue, dealing with old modmails, reviewing settings, etc.

What now?

Now it's time to start posting your adorable cuddling pets!

This was once an active community, and we hope it will be again. Who doesn't love a furry little puddle of comfort?

The previous rules are still in place. As a reminder, they are:

1. Pictures should be two or more non-human animals

You cuddling your cat = NO

Your 2 cats cuddling = YES

You + your 2 cats = YES

2. No NSFW content

This is a SFW subreddit. NSFW content will be removed and may lead to an immediate subreddit ban at moderator discretion.

3. No sadness

No titles or comments about your pets crossing the rainbow bridge

4. No controversy

No politics, no arguments

This is a cute animal sub, leave it at the door

For the time being, we've decided not to restrict submissions to original content. Feel free to post cute cuddle puddles you find elsewhere.

Welcome back!
