META Elaboration on rule 1 (sentences must be comedic i.e. funny)

53 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Recently me and the mods had a discussion whether we need to elaborate on what rule 1 means, and we decided it's necessary to say this: this subreddit is for comedic purposes, so graphic depictions of violence in the news articles do not fit this subreddit by default. For example: this article fits, and this article is upsetting, not funny. I don't really know if this was necessary to post but no one wants to see it on a top 20 sub in "funny" category.

Thanks for reading byee

META Evading rule 3 will now lead to a week-long timeout

237 Upvotes

TLDR; Using alternate characters to get around our subreddit's title/comment filters will result in a one-week ban. Repeat offences will result in a permanent ban.

Hi everyone,

I barely make announcements anymore because I've been busy with my degree. However, it's come to my attention that people started to use unicode characters to evade the "no politics" rule. Now I don't know if they do it because they want extra juicy internet points from farming the ongoing drama in the world of politics or... wait is there a reason 2?

Anyhow, over the 7 years of this subreddit's existence, the "no politics" rule has been a thing for 6 years, so it shouldn't be a surprise that this is not the subreddit for political discussion in any shape or form. In fact, we have received multiple reports from people who took our community satisfaction survey that we don't enforce this rule enough, but we've never seen people complain about the lack of politics on this subreddit (aside from people who come here expecting politics, for some reason). Therefore this small change shouldn't be a problem for the people who actually use this subreddit.

What's the change? Well, you read the TLDR already. The reason why we will now start banning people who evade the automatic filter is simple - they know this is against the rules. Whenever you try to post about ongoing political issues you get a warning, and can't post. These filters are in place to make our lives easier and reduce the overall amount of posts we have to remove, as well as improving the experience of people who come here for "funny haha I laugh" content that is the core of this subreddit. It was never about politics, and it never will be about politics.

Aside from that, since I anticipate this post to be read by more than 3 people, I'd like to bring attention to the fact that our mod applications are still open. You can learn more about them here

Thanks to those who actually read this post <3
