All 7 rules of r/bicycling
- Remember the human.
When you communicate here, all you see is a computer screen. When talking to someone you might want to ask yourself "Would I say it to the person's face?" or "Would I get jumped if I said this to a buddy?" Racism, sexism, bigotry, hate-speech, or anything similar won't be tolerated. - Please participate without spamming
You can see the rules in the reddiquitte, it's okay to have a website and post occasionally post articles, but it's not okay to *be* a website that uses reddit to reach people. - Be Nice Or Leave
In /r/bicycling, we have a very strict be-nice-or-leave policy. For some reason, being rude has become acceptable on the internet. That's not how we want this subreddit to be, so we will ban you without warning. If you want to appeal this ban, you will need to show that your behavior on this subreddit, and on other subreddits, is almost always positive contributions to make these forums a better place. Please take this rule very seriously. - We are Anti-Racist
Any posts that has to do with the race or related protests will be moderated using a similar criteria to the Bad Faith Participation rule that [r/BlackPeopleTwitter](https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/) uses: [https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/wiki/bfp](https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/wiki/bfp) and you will not get a warning before being banned. Those posts are also not the place for your jokes. We will still be banning for racism in any comment/post. - Focus on the Bike's Physical Appearance, not the Rider's Physical Appearance.
In /r/bicycling, we focus on the bike. While unsolicited compliments of someone's physical appearance may seem harmless, it dramatically distracts the point of the sub. This is a sub about bikes, not about beautiful people. While beautiful people often ride bikes, we want the focus to be about the bikes. Please keep it on topic, please *only* give compliments about the physical appearances of bikes, not people. - Please Note
Moderators can remove posts/threads as they see fit outside of the above rules. - No Surveys
Absolutely no surveys
