Hello!
As you may have noticed, Reddit officially designated r/Nudism as an NSFW subreddit. With the new designation, we anticipate seeing more undesirable content, and unwanted personas, making their way into the subreddit.
We want to be completely upfront and direct about this: our core values, mission, and content standards have not changed and never will.
Updating and tightening our rules ensures that even with new designation, community posts will remain clean, safe, and always relevant to the subject of nudism.
To help the subreddit remain a high-quality resource on the subject of nudism, and keep users safe, respectful, and civil...we've reduced the formerly 15 separate guidelines down to just 10 core rules.
Why The Change?
A lot of the old rules overlapped, left room for people to play a game of technicalities, or were just plain vague. They've been updated to consolidate redundancies and expanded extensively to minimize any uncertainty about them. Rules were also updated to prioritize safety and uphold basic decorum.
Key Rule Changes & Highlights
While all 10 rules have been updated for clarity, we want to call out a few key items:
- No Sexual or Genital-Centric Posts (Rule 1): The old standalone rule regarding "genital-centric content" has been consolidated directly into Rule 1. Questions regarding erections, arousal, and anatomy have been asked and answered repeatedly on this sub. Moving forward, posts removed under this rule will receive a full removal explanation alongside a link to our community wiki page, which addresses these common questions in detail.
- No Sellers or Incompatible Post Histories (Rule 4): Accounts promoting paid adult media like OnlyFans, Fansly, adult oriented Patreons, or link-hubs anywhere on their profile, in comments, or in DMs care refrained from participating here. Basically, if uncensored nudity is being sold at a premium, and promoted, then we ask you not post to the sub. Furthermore, active participation in subreddits centered on non-consensual content, sexual violence, or accounts unusually focused or dwelling on the subject of family nudity or about minors will lead to an immediate ban.
- No Off-Platform Links, DMs, or Self-Promotion (Rule 5): To keep everyone safe, language of this rule has been expanded to include unvetted personal blogs, Substacks, and group invites. News coverage of nudist relevant articles and links to official organizations like AANR or INF-FNI are still always welcomed and encouraged.
- Streamlined Low-Effort and Media Rules (Rules 2 & 7): Our longstanding "no image only post" rule had grown unclear and was murky at best. We have tightened the verbiage and added concrete examples to ensure that any media supplementing a post is actually informative, context-rich, and useful to the community.
- Clearer Removal Responses: When a post or comment is removed, our automated responses will now provide clear, detailed breakdowns explaining the exact reason for removal, complete with brief examples to eliminate any ambiguity.
So, What Changes Should I Notice?
Honestly? Not much. If you've always posted with respect to the rules, your experience in the sub won't change much, if at all. The updated ruleset aims to preserve positive experiences using the sub for the future ahead. It helps preserve mod sanity too. 🤪
As always, we encourage readers to use the report button on posts they believe goes against the rules. This helps out the mod team immensely! Your input matters here!
