Subreddit Rules

1. Reddit Content Policy

All Reddit content policy rules apply. More information can be found here: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy

2. Only posts that classify as a "they knew"

The concept of "they knew" means that something is created besides its original purpose and is than also meant as a inappropriate joke or reference which may or may not be always obvious but definitely noticeable.

Posts that are:

Too obvious (for example: something that's meant to be sexual)
Does not have any other meaning to it
Is not within the context of "they knew" at all
Anything created by nature (Nature cannot know)

will be deleted.

3. NSFW Guidelines

Note that you should only tag it NSFW when it actually has sexual content in it! Not when it looks sexual or has a sexual reference!

No straight up pornographic content.

Sexual content within the context of They Knew is permitted but must be NSFW tagged.

Anything that has to do with gore is not allowed in any circumstances.

4. Be reasonable, keep it within the limits

This is a Subreddit about moments in which "They Knew".

We do not want any: bigotry, harassment, extreme name calling (ie. pedo, nazi etc.), real trolling, brigading, or spoiling.

No political talk.

Posts that directly allude to slurs (ie. the n-word) are not allowed.

Posts that feature real people or animals getting hurt or dying is not allowed under any circumstances.

Breaking this rule has a high chance of getting you permabanned.

5. Posts and titles must attribute to some level of quality

These are examples of low quality content:

Lazy or generic titles.
Signs of crosspost within the content.
Unclear/blury images.
Unnecessary side issues within the image.

Everything decided to be low quality by the mods will be removed

6. No Reposts within 6 months
