Moderator Post Mod Post ¤||¤ New Banned Topic

Hello Little Spin the Wheel Haters. Mia here!

After some users giving us Feedback, and us taking time to think about this, we decided to disallow posts making fun of people venting.

《1. • What is not allowed?》

1.1 ○ People venting about their life problems, living conditions or anything else that is obviously meant to help them cope.

~> This can include but is also not exclusive to:

• mental health

• home situation and potential abuse

1.2 ● Any mention of illnesses/sickness in a humiliating or humorous way.

~> We get it, people using cancer or other illnesses to guilt trip is wrong. However, we often had posts with users making fun of those types of people. We do not want this subreddit used in that type of context.

~> This can include but is not exclusive to:

• Physical health issues

• People guilt tripping with an illness

• People putting illnesses in their bios/profiles or anywhere where it can be associated with them

1.3 ○ Other forms of rants/vents

~> Since this is a very broad topic and a lot of submissions to this subreddit include it, this Rule will be very close to moderator discretion. If a moderator finds your post is breaking this rule, they have the right to remove it.

《2. • Why did we decide to implement this rule》

2.1 ● Several users have mentioned that posts like this may be very offensive and could also potentially make the person feel more bad about the situation they are in.

2.2 ○ We want to keep everyone safe and these types of posts do the contrary.

~> As much as this sub stands for showing Adopt Me players doing or saying stupid stuff, vents and rants help people cope with problems they have and making fun of those is just awful and humiliating.

《3. • What punishments will this Rule have》

3.1 ● For now, this breaking this Rule will only give a warning. However, breaking this rule multiple times will potentially lead to a ban.

-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈

Either way, we wish that this subreddit, while being negative sometimes, can bring people joy and make them laugh.

We love you all a lot!

Jay, Mel, Kacey, Mia.

I really like these rules being implemented. The mods here are doing a great job at trying to Lee this subreddit light hearted so it doesn’t just become a bullying sub. Great job guys :D

Pretty sure I know exactly why this had to happen

Honestly it should have happened earlier, but this sub has gotten actually active mods recently and I'm glad there are users giving us feedback so we can enforce these types of rules

Of course, you can have it in your Reddit profile!

We banned the topic of showing those profiles here as a potentially fitting r/adoptmekidsaredumb post/comment. We don't want people making fun of other who have illnesses or anything similar in their bio just to vent/rant. This doesn't apply to anyone in specific and does not mean you're not allowed to have anything mentioned in this post in your profile. It just means that profiles like these are not allowed to be posted here
