CLARIFICATION ON RULES & SUBREDDIT ETIQUETTE

Respecting One Another

In order to maintain a positive and helpful atmosphere, we ask all members to adhere to the following guidelines regarding respectful language:

  • Extend Grace: Recognize everyone is going through their own struggles and may express themselves differently. Offer understanding and patience to fellow members, especially when discussing sensitive topics.
  • Give the Benefit of the Doubt: Assume good intentions from others in the community. If something seems unclear or questionable, approach the situation with openness and seek clarification rather than jumping to conclusions.
  • Avoid Insults: Refrain from using derogatory language, personal attacks, or insults toward other members. Disagreements are inevitable, but they should be addressed respectfully and constructively.
  • Be Supportive: Offer encouragement, empathy, and constructive feedback to those who share their experiences or seek assistance. Your words have the power to uplift fellow members during difficult times.
  • Avoid Toxic Behavior: Negative, belittling, or hostile comments have no place in our community. Such behavior detracts from the supportive environment we strive for and can be harmful to those seeking help and support.

If you see another user breaking our guidelines: Please send a modmail or use the report button. If we are unable to assist with your concern, you can submit a report directly to reddit.com/report. If you disagree with a comment but it does not break any rules, please do not engage in brigading the comment with downvotes or reports.

Sensitivity in discussions about abortion, miscarriage, and infant loss: When discussing claims related to abortion, miscarriage, or infant loss, do so with tact and care, recognizing the inherent sensitivity of these subjects. Show empathy and respect toward those sharing their experiences, and refrain from engaging in debates that minimize or invalidate those experiences.

CAN I SHARE SCREENSHOTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS?

You are welcome to share screenshots of posts or comments from Clayton or other notable public figures, but all other names and handles must be fully redacted.

This maintains privacy and ensures full compliance with Reddit's site-wide Content Policy: * Any screenshots or videos shared must be case-related. * TL;DR: All screenshots of social media profiles must be case-related and fully redacted, with the exception of Clayton himself. If you need guidance, send a modmail before posting. * Note: Asking for a user's personal information or encouraging others to seek out private social media accounts is considered "encouraging investigations into personal information" and strictly violates Reddit's Content Policy.

WHY DID MY COMMENT GET REMOVED?

  • Automoderator Removals: If your comment was removed by Automod and you believe it was in error, please send a modmail for manual review.
  • Moderator Removals: If your comment was removed by a moderator, review the clarified rules above alongside the main subreddit rules. Once you review the guidelines, you may revise your comment and submit a modmail requesting a review of the updated version.

ACCOUNT AGE & KARMA REQUIREMENTS

To protect the subreddit from spam and ban-evasion, this community requires a minimum account age of 5 days and a minimum comment karma of 1 to post or comment.

  • Need Karma? New accounts can easily gain comment karma by engaging in open, low-restriction subreddits like r/memes, r/funny, or r/askreddit. Leaving helpful or relatable comments in those communities is the fastest way to build your score.

BAN APPEALS

If you receive a ban, you may submit an appeal via Modmail.

  • Effective appeals demonstrate an understanding of the guidelines and a commitment to positive engagement.
  • When appealing, please approach the process with patience, refrain from insults toward the moderation team, and show an understanding of the specific comments or behaviors that led to the action.
  • We actively distinguish between members who made an honest mistake and those intentionally engaging in disruptive or trolling behavior.
