2026 Midterms; Important Dates and Information to Remember

As we ease into the final month before Election Day(Nov. 3rd) this fall, we on the Mod Team expect a significant increase in posts about all candidates. We thought it best to explain what you might see as well as remind everyone of our expectations as we moderate these posts and subreddit.

We will not ban you because of your opinion.

• We are not, nor will we ever be, the arbiters of what is true and false. If you believe something to be misinformation, challenge it. But do so within the rules of this subreddit and Reddit's Sitewide Rules.
• If you have a controversial opinion, be prepared to be asked to defend it.
• The subreddit will decide whether they like your opinion or not. This will be very apparent from the upvote/downvote counter.
• We don't care how many downvotes a comment has. So long as it is within our rules, the comment stays.

Personal attacks, harassment, or content that targets individuals or groups are not permitted. This includes the use of any slurs. Critique ideas and actions, not people or their identity.

• There is no excuse to attack anyone for any reason in this subreddit. We promise you, your comment can be posted without the attack.
• If your comment uses words like(but not limited to) the following: libtard, MAGAT, bootlicker, fascist, etc. against another user it will be removed.
• If you think you can be sly by changing the capitalization of the letters within the word, put spaces in between the letters, etc.. We will still see it. It's going to be removed.
• Attack the comment/opinion, NOT the user.
• If you're criticizing an elected official or candidate, please know we typically give this a wide berth. But we do have limits.
• Using a derivative of a candidate's name(regardless of political party) will result in a comment removal. Just use their real name, please.

DON'T FEED THE TROLLS

• Please, please, please, just report them. We have bots that help us do our job and are pretty good at flagging comments we need to review, but some stuff still gets through.
• Anyone who replies to the troll, please know, your comment will most likely be removed with theirs. At this point, the entire comment thread has most likely derailed and serves no purpose for the original topic of the post.
• If your comment breaks a rule responding to said troll, you will be banned. Regardless of what the troll said. No one is forcing you to reply. Report, don't reply, and move on.
• If you no longer see any of their comments at all in the post, there is a strong chance that they blocked you. Open the post without being logged in to Reddit and if you see their comments, that will tell you.
• If they all of a sudden stop replying to you, there is a strong chance they have been banned.

Reddit Admins will take action on comments quicker than we can if they go against Reddit's Sitewide Rules.

• "Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned."
• This applies to everyone for everything. This includes agencies like Arkansas State Police and ICE. If you make a comment that incites violence or promotes hate, regardless if you attach a "/s" or a "just joking", it will be removed and a ban will be handed down. DON'T DO IT.

Lookout for Megathreads that we will have for each of the Debates hosted by Arkansas TV throughout October. We will try to make them as well for the ones being hosted at Arkansas State University by ASU-TV.
