What its rules say about promotion
Start the discussion with a comment
The sub is not just a gallery of flag images. You must add at least one comment with context or an explanation about your submission. You may instead submit a post with optional body text or a caption on the image itself. Posts that do not do one of those things will be removed. /r/vexillology is a discussion-based sub, and so providing context helps promote and seed discussion about your post. Report this mod comment after discussion has been added and we will remove this and restore your post.
All 13 rules of r/vexillology
- Discussion should be related to the study of flags
This is a place for the study of flags, including current, historical, fictional or self-made flags, and flag news. Do not post photos or articles which are only indirectly related to flags (e.g. coats of arms and logos). Avoid getting derailed into discussions that are significantly off-topic. - Keep it civil
People are interested in flags for all kinds of different political, historical, aesthetic or personal reasons; vexillology attracts people from all walks of life. You may see flags and opinions that you strongly disagree with, and others may strongly disagree with you. Remember that we are here first and foremost to learn and discuss about flags, not to tear each other apart. Keep it civil and respect one another. Hate on the basis of identity or vulnerability can never be civil and is banned. - Avoid low-effort commenting
Including memes, karma trains, and other fluff content. - Don't crosspost to political, meta, or drama subs
Posting /r/vexillology threads on meta, drama and/or politically oriented subs attracts unwanted attention to our community and exacerbates existing drama. - Choose a concise, descriptive title
Your post title should be brief and describe exactly what it is. You are welcome to share your opinions on the flag in the comments! Posts with titles that are editorialized, vague, politicized, or excessively wordy, will be removed. You can be as verbose as you want in the comments! - Start the discussion with a comment
The sub is not just a gallery of flag images. You must add at least one comment with context or an explanation about your submission. You may instead submit a post with optional body text or a caption on the image itself. Posts that do not do one of those things will be removed. /r/vexillology is a discussion-based sub, and so providing context helps promote and seed discussion about your post. Report this mod comment after discussion has been added and we will remove this and restore your post. - Mashup Mondays
Mashup flags — often with titles such as "X in the style of Y" or "X but Y"— may only be posted on Mondays [UTC](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc), and will be removed if posted on other days. - No fluff
To help foster vibrant discussion, sufficiently low-effort posts may be removed. Examples of things that might be removed for this reason include: * Memes * Fluff submissions * Intentionally terrible flags * Inappropriate content to the subreddit You might check out /r/vexillologycirclejerk as an alternative, which is more open to many of these! If you put in effort but are just starting out as a flag designer then unpolished posts are okay as long as you’ve tried! - Avoid recent reposts
Posts that have been recently submitted to /r/vexillology should be avoided and may be removed. You may [search the post history](https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/search) before posting, we generally define recent as within the last 6 months. - Assign appropriate link flair
Remember to add suitable flair to your posts. This makes it easier for people that might be interested in your flag to find it, and to know what kind of flag it is. - Mark potentially controversial submissions as "Spoiler"
Some countries restrict or ban the use of certain symbols for political or historical reasons. Please respect this by marking submissions containing these symbols with the “Spoiler” tag. These symbols include but are not limited to: swastikas, hammers and sickles, the Rising Sun Flag, Apartheid South Africa flag, and the Confederate States of America battle flag. - Identify posts must be sincere
/r/vexillology is a place to learn about flags and flag design, and all sincere questions wanting to learn more about flags are welcome. If, in the discretion of the mod team, a post with Identify link flair is not created with sincere intent to learn, then it may be removed. - Attribute content others have made
Public domain content is always welcome. If you are submitting content that another creator has made, be sure to attribute it to the creator *in the comments*. Posts with content that isn’t attributed will be removed.
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.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
