Announcement Rule change?! You may just like it!
Hi everyone,
A long time ago we had some trouble with creeps who would post pictures of a person in a location and ask where they were to stalk or follow them. After that, we instated a rule that disallowed any person in the picture to make it as clear as possible that would not be allowed on this subreddit.
However, now that the sub is more established and you all are looking out for each other, we want to relax this rule a little bit. So as of now, any picture that includes a crowd with people, or people far away that aren’t recognizable, is allowed. That means:
- No close-up people, no selfies
- No people that are recognizable (no, still no blacking them out)
- Yes crowds (think: cities, beaches)
- Yes they can just happen to be in the background
- Yes people if they’re far away
We will have edge cases that we will evaluate on a case-to-case basis. It would be great if you all can use the report button if there are alarm bells ringing about specific posts, so that we can evaluate them more quickly. Please let us know what you think!
Much love,
Your mod team
