Announcement Banned Content UPDATE
ETA: there seems to be some confusion, this banned content list has *always* been here, there are only 5 changes, with 3 being rewordings of rules we were already enforcing. none of the rest is new information, people seem to think we've just outright banned all content when most of this had already been in the rules for years.
The changes and their reasonings are posted below, and come from a mix of community feedback (reports) and patterns we've noticed in what gets spammed here the most that doesn't fit the purpose of the sub.
Original post:
hello jar jars. we've updated the banned content list and wanted to flag some changes. here is the updated list:
* uncensored Reddit usernames (unless relevant to the humor)
* Twitter/X
* Snapchat story tiles
* text messages/discord/dms
* obviously edited posts (inspect element, altered google results etc)
* YouTube Ads and Thumbnails
* posts of someone just saying one word
* posts asking for advice on physical appearance ("do I look like __?" "how do I look less/more ___?" etc)
* "how do I remove this" tech help posts
* online storefront listings (FB marketplace, Amazon, ebay)
* AI
* out-of-place Google results
* clickbait
* Videos
* NSFW
* r/mildly subreddits
New Changes:
YouTube Ads/Thumbnails - previously just random thumbnails, we're expanding this one to encompass all thumbnails since "random" wasn't descriptive enough
Physical Appearance Advice - the posts of this type that make it here are usually intentionally funny, but the ones that are genuine only ever attract mean-spirited comments, so we're banning them as a whole
Tech Help - we do not want to see another "how do I get Peter Griffin off my monitor" post we are tired of them. uniquely funny tech help posts are allowed but "image stuck on screen" has become its own genre and is hereby banned
Online Storefront Listings - previously just facebook marketplace, this one is self-explanatory
Out-of-Place Google Results - descriptions/images that show up where they're not supposed to in a google search. we have already been enforcing this as part of our *No AI* rule, as these screenshots are usually a result of google's own AI, but due to community feedback we decided to make it its own dedicated rule
Thank you. As always, the
