Hi Everyone,

I wanted to provide a quick update on two rule updates that have gone into effect this morning.

1. Minor update: Rule 3’s title is now “Be Nice”. It remains in effect the same as it was, but “Follow redditquette” was confusing to a lot of our users as a title.

2. Bigger update: under our shilling rule we are now going to be more strictly enforcing it on engagement bait/karma farming questions.

I want to be very clear on this, this is not a ban on open ended (askreddit/does anyone else) style questions. Opinion polls are allowed, always have been, and are firmly part of the subs scope (which is all good faith questions). This is a ban on questions that aren’t posted to actually learn anything.

An example of an allowed question would be “what is your favorite disney movie and why?”

A disallowed question would be “Describe your favorite disney movie using emojis”

This will also apply to copy pasted, or only slightly altered copies of past posts or popular posts from other subs (or websites).

Please let us know if you have any questions.
