All 8 rules of r/LongDistance
- No Self-Promotion (including crowdfunding, blogs, business/tv opportunities or advertisements)
Do not solicit or post links to crowdfunding sites, business/tv opportunities, social media (including YouTube), apps, commission work, or advertisements. We are all in the same boat. Crowdfunding links or advertisements (no matter how cleverly hidden you think your ad is) will result in a ban. When in doubt, modmail. If you are part of a study or research project interested in polling /r/LongDistance, please modmail. - No Harassing, Trolling, Flaming or Spamming
Personal attacks, bashing, harassing, trolling, flaming or spamming is not allowed. This will result in a removal and ban. If you disagree with a post or comment, make sure to explain why you disagree instead of just saying "You're wrong, this is stupid." - Age and genders must be in the TITLE of your post when asking for advice
When asking for advice or asking questions on your own relationship, you must include both ages and genders in the title of your post. (Ex: [22F/22M]). Posts breaking this rule will be removed. This is to help the rest of the sub give age-appropriate advice. Ages/genders are not required for other types of posts (venting, image posts, meeting, etc.) Please use the appropriate flair to clarify the purpose of your post and what kind of input you're looking for (if any). - No posts directly talking or contacting your SO
Do not use the subreddit to directly talk to or contact your SO. This includes "shoutouts" and trying to reach your SO post-breakup. See: https://redd.it/3jlmm8 - Caution regarding large age differences
If an age difference between a couple is far too large, and harm/abuse/grooming could be happening, please report the post immediately. - Do not solicit a long distance relationship
This is not the place to find or solicit a long distance relationship. Period. - No Photo/Signature/Soundbite Request Posts
Requesting photos, signatures, soundbites or other communication from members on this subreddit does not contribute in a positive way. Posts of this nature are grounds for an immediate and permanent ban. - No Misinformation
Spreading conspiracy or anti-science misinformation will result in an immediate ban. Spreading other serious misinformation may also result in a ban as determined by the moderation team.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
