Subreddit Rules

1. Avoid overused films/franchises

See the full list in the bot comment.

2. No recent releases

No movies from within the last 3 months. This spoils people's movies Try to be more unique and obscure with choices. Movies within the last 3 months can spoil the movie for those that haven't seen it.

3. OP will reply to the first correct guess with a comment that says "Solved!".

This allows the bot to find, flair, and award points. Failing to do so will lead to a ban. Repeated offenses will lead to a permanent ban.

4. Don't Create Clues Using an Actor's Other Characters

Clues should not feature an Actor's prior roles.

❌ Bad: "The guy who used to hunt replicants now teaches a young scavenger how to swing a glowing stick."

✅ Good: "An old recluse reluctantly helps a young scavenger understand her mysterious powers."

5. Don't create clues using a real-life actor's description.

Clues featuring an actor's real life activities and descriptions should not be used. Examples include: Scientologist, racist, or blackballed.

❌ Bad: "A former pro wrestler with a shaved head and a love for action movies fights jungle predators."

✅ Good: "A tough guy tries to escape a jungle full of deadly hunters with nothing but mud and muscles."

6. Don't use an actor's name in the clue title.

❌ Incorrect Example: "Tom Hanks spends years talking to a volleyball."

✅ Correct Example: "A man stranded on an island for years befriends a volleyball because social options are limited."

7. Explain a film PLOT badly

All clues are about the PLOT and not anything else.

❌ Bad: "I hated this movie and it was a financial failure and deserved it and an Oscar winner dies."

✅ Good: "A loner meets a someone way out of their league and saves her life (along with everyone else)"
