Nothing considered not-safe-for-work/life is allowed on this subreddit. - No reposts
Please check that what you're posting hasn't already been posted. Post from the last year or from the top of all time will be removed. - Don't post too much
To avoid new submissions getting lost under a large amount of new posts, we ask that you don't post too much content at once. If you have a lot of content to share, you're better off curating the best of it, then spreading out your posts over time. - No leaks/spoilers
We do not allow posting of allegedly “leaked” information. Either it is false and spreading misinformation, or it is true and extremely disrespectful towards the crew. Posts that contain spoilers must have the spoiler tag and not have any spoilers in the title. Comments that contain spoilers must have a spoiler tag. - No ship-bashing
As a general rule, we do not allow any "ship-bashing" on this subreddit. You are welcome to enjoy whatever ship you like, but you may not attack other ships or the people who prefer them. Comments that discourage users liking certain ships are not necessary. This also includes shipping tier lists which only serve to indirectly attack ships you don't like. For ships that are inherently problematic (incest, pedophilia, erasure, etc.) please simply Report them and leave it alone. - No witch-hunting
Any posts or comments which single out or target specific individuals or accounts for abuse or harassment will not be tolerated. It is against Reddit's rules on harassment. - Banned topics
List of banned topics: None atm - If hiring, provide adequate evidence of your capabilities.
Want to hire an animator? Voice actor? Storyboard artist? Writer? Whatever it is, you must first provide proof of your capabilities. Claim you can animate but need a voice actor? Give an example of your animation skills. Want to have a story you wrote animated, acted, etc.? Provide some writing excerpts or detailed concepts. You can't make a show without doing at least part of the work, and providing examples of the work being done allows people to gage whether or not the pay is enough for them.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
