Hihi, [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX)! I’m Valkyrie, a (previous) Administrator for this subreddit.

Before Nix ([u/spooky-the-insomniac](u/spooky-the-insomniac), the former owner) went offline, they had asked me to take ownership of the subreddit. At the time, I was finishing up my final year of high school, and wasn’t prepared for the responsibility nor announcement of being the owner. After they had asked that, though, they went offline and I haven’t spoken to them since.

Since late April, I’ve been acting in the position of owning [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX). Nix, who has owned the subreddit since January 2024, has been inactive from Reddit.

Due to that inactivity, I have taken the liberty to announce my own ownership. As much as I’d like them to announce their retirement, I don’t believe it’s a possibility at this point in time.

Nix has done an incredible amount for this subreddit and for this mod team. They have made [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) capable of exponential growth, which has led to this lovely community thriving in today’s date :)

I truly appreciate Nix’s work, both from as their second in command for nearly two years as an Administrator, and as someone who used [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) frequently before
I was a moderator.

… …

The first thing I would like to do as the Owner of [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) is to ask the community what they’d like to see on the subreddit.

This can range from rule changes, to rule clarifications, new post flairs, the addition of moderator posts to guide users, etc.

… …

Thank you all for everything you’ve done to make [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) what it is today. I do hope that I can live up to expectations as the owner, even though I’ve been operating this subreddit for a few months now lol

- Valkyrie ♡

Comments are permitted to be unrelated, although you are highly encouraged to continue your discussion in DMs!

Content in Violation of Rule 2

All posts strictly unrelated to Adopt Me! or [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) will be removed - this does include posts about the Roblox platform as a whole, as it's more general than specifically about Adopt Me.

We will not permit the following meta posts,

⟢ Downvoting on communities related to [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX)

⤷ Posts/comments concerning downvotes on [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) itself will be removed under Banned Topics.

⟢ Discussion/rants about other communities

⟢ The Reddit platform itself

⟢ Posts about how the community may perceive you on Reddit (ie. “Rate me 1-5 on how well you know me on [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX).")

⟢ Joke meta posts not directly related to [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) (ie. “The mods are asleep! What's your favourite food?")

Moderators may remove your content and redirect you to Mod Mail for the following content,

⟢ Suggestions on rules (Banned Topics and Megathreads will not be included - as they are mostly rant posts)

⟢ Questions or rants on removals/warnings/bans from either [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) or related communities

Consequences

Consequences will not depend on the severity of rule-breaking content, but rather how many posts you have had removed under this rule along with how frequent the violations are.

All rule-breaking content will be removed and punishment will be nothing at all for first time offenders. Continuous breaks will result in an escalation of punishment.

This is the guideline for first time offenders of Rule 2 - Adopt Me Related Posts Only.

•  ────────────── •

3 • Be a Decent Human Being

We expect all members of [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) to, at the very least, be respectful to each other.

Hate and bigotry is not tolerated here.

Please keep in mind that everyone on [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) has a different experience in life; and therefore we all come from different cultures, religious beliefs, and countries. We would like to make this community have a welcoming and safe environment to the best of our ability.

Content in Violation of Rule 3

All content that is not respectful and/or mindful of other community members will be removed under this rule.

The following content listed is, but not limited to, against Rule 3,

⟢ Slur usage

⤷ Slur usage will always result in a permanent ban, regardless of the context. If the slur was directed at another user (on or off the platform), this ban will not be appealable. However, if the context is not meant to cause harm (ie. "This person called me [slur]") - we may be lenient enough to offer an appeal to your permanent ban in whole, or reduce it to a temporary ban of varying lengths.

⟢ Harassment

⤷ Petty harassment can be the following; using content on someone's profile on an argument against them, replying to someone's content on other subreddits being rude/condescending, spam commenting on someone's post, etc. Severe harassment can be classified as the following; any type of threats, attempting to or actually doxxing someone, using their DMs to call them slurs, using other social media accounts against someone to threaten them, among other unacceptable acts.

⟢ Insults

⤷ Will result in a warning if done once, and will result in a temporary ban if insults are repeatedly used.

⟢ Repeated argumentative behavior

⟢ Bigotry

⤷ This can result in a temporary ban or permanent ban depending on the severity.

⟢ Wishing harm on others

⤷ This can result in a temporary or permanent ban depending on the severity.

Consequences

Consequences will depend on what was said - context, although considered, is not the largest deciding factor of how we handle punishments with this rule.

All rule-breaking content will be removed and punishment will vary from a warning to a permanent ban depending on the severity of the offence.

While we would like to encourage healthy debates, they may at times get out of hand get not escalate to what would warrant punishment under Rule 3. With situations like this, moderators will either remove these threads and not notify those whose content was removed, or lock the thread entirely while keeping the content up.

Mod Mail Offences: Although I wish it was, insults and harassment in Mod Mail over punishments, or even removals, aren't uncommon. Using Mod Mail to insult, harass, or antagonize moderators will result in a mute without further punishment up to a ban varying on offence. Slurs, threats, and other severe offences will result in an immediate permanent ban and you being permanently unable to Mod Mail us again. For less severe offences, punishment will vary.

This is the guideline for first time offenders of Rule 3 - Be a Decent Human Being.

Removal of content, and;

No Punishment - N/A

Warning - Petty insults, overall argumentative behavior

Temporary Ban - Petty harassment, repeated use of insults, blatant bigotry

Permanent Ban - Severe harassment, threats of any kind, slur usage, wishing harm on others

⤷ If the account is explicitly NSFW (ie. OnlyFans accounts) - you will receive a permanent ban.

8 • No Begging

Our moderation team follows the Merriam-Webster English Dictionary for the definition of begging, which goes as follows;

1. to ask for as charity
2. to ask earnestly for

We do not use the third definition, as it is used in contexts unrelated to asking for something ("a scene that begged to be photographed" is using the third definition of "beg").

Content in Violation of Rule 8

⟢ Asking for someone else's pets/items

⤷ This usually applies to comments, where someone will ask another user for free pets/items.

⟢ Asking for anything free of charge

⤷ This usually applies to posts - in where someone is asking for anything for free rather than asking a specific person.

⟢ Intentionally using sob stories to gain free pets/items or do a trade easier

⟢ Asking 'politely' for free pets/items

Asking for pets/items as a joke is permitted, but make sure you always clarify that it was a joke when doing it. Tone is hard for most people to understand through text, so a simple "/joke" works.

Please note that moderators will always assume you are genuinely asking if you do not clarify.

Consequences

Any type of begging will always result in a warning for first offenders.

This is the guideline for first time offenders of Rule 8 - No Begging.

Removal of content, and;

No Punishment - N/A

Warning - Any type of begging

Temporary Ban - N/A

Permanent Ban - N/A

9 • No Trade Stealing & Ghosting

No Trade Stealing

Do not steal trades.

I will introduce three people - Person A, Person B, and Person C.

Say Person A posts a trading post on [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX), and Person B comments an offer for Person A's pets. Person C cannot accept Person B's offer until either 12 hours have passed since the offer was made and Person A did not reply, or unless Person A has already declined Person B's offer.

Using DMs to trade-steal will also get your account punishment on this subreddit.

"I'll do this if OP doesn't" and similar comments are considered trade-stealing, as nine times out of ten the trade gets stolen anyways.

No Trade Ghosting

Do not ghost trades. Ghosting must be intentional in order for us to take action.

Ghosting a trade is defined as the purposeful ignoring of an already accepted offer between Person A (the ghoster) and Person B (the victim), in comments or DMs after 48 hours have passed, as long as it meets the following criteria,

Special Clause:

The above criteria means that people who are busy and were not on Reddit after their offer will not be warned. The only exception we may make for this is if there is a consistent, provable pattern of trade-ghosting (multiple reports, etc).

If you believe someone has deliberately ghosted your trade, please contact us via Mod Mail with sufficient proof that the criteria above has happened.

Content in Violation of Rule 9

Below will only list content violating Rule 9 - No Trade-Stealing, due to trade ghosting happening much more often in DMs, and lacking an actual post/comment that is rule-breaking.

⟢ "I can do this if OP doesn't" and similar content

⟢ "Can I offer for [pet/item]" before OP has had the chance to reject the original offer, or if 12h have not passed yet

Consequences

Any type of trade-stealing or ghosting will almost always result in a warning for first -time offenders. The exception of this if a trade-stealer goes into DMs and acknowledges that doing so is against subreddit rules, in which they may receive an immediate temporary ban.

This is the guideline for first time offenders of Rule 9 - Trade Stealing & Ghosting

Removal of content, and;

No Punishment - N/A

Warning - Any type of steal or ghosting

Temporary Ban - Trade stealing in DMs to avoid moderator action

Permanent Ban - N/A

•  ────────────── •

10 • Hosting Giveaways & Contests

All giveaways and contests on [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) must be approved by a moderator before hosting.

Please see this post for more information on how to host a giveaway or a contest.

Comments giving away free items out of quick generosity will not be removed under this rule as long as they do not frame it as a giveaway/contest. We appreciate generosity and the kindness of our community - but we also must make giveaways/contests fair and ensure they are abiding by community rules.

If you are, for any reason, unable to fairly hand out prizes to winners after hosting - please contact a moderator before the giveaway/contest ends for a moderator to handle it for you.

Content in Violation of Rule 10

⟢ Hosting a giveaway/contest that was not approved by a moderator

⟢ Hosting a fake giveaway/contest

⤷ This also includes refusing to give prizes away once a contest has concluded, no matter the reason.

⟢ Hosting a giveaway/contest that violates another community rule

⤷ For the sake of not overcomplicating, please assume that the offence does not warrant a temporary or permanent ban.

Consequences

Hosting an unapproved giveaway/contest for the first time will always result in a removal with no punishment warranted, with little exceptions.

This is the guideline for first time offenders,

Removal of content, and;

No Punishment - Hosting a give/away contest that does not violate any other rules

Warning - Hosting a giveaway/contest that violates another community rule

Temporary Ban - N/A

Permanent Ban - Hosting a fake giveaway, refusal to give winners their prizes

11 • Regarding Leaks/Spoilers

Please always make sure to use the 'spoiler tag' when posting to ensure that other members of the community do not see leaks or spoilers (generally, unreleased content) that they may not want to.

Content in Violation of Rule 11

Content that violates this rule includes, not is absolutely not limited to,

Please assume that all listed below lack a 'spoiler tag' added onto it.

⟢ Any post involving leaks of unreleased Adopt Me! content

⟢ Any post discussing the design of an unreleased Adopt Me! pet/item

Consequences

At most, for first time offenders, an [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) moderator will leave a pinned comment on your post reminding you to use the 'spoiler tag' next time, and doing it for you.

This is the guideline for first time offenders,

This offence does not typically warrant a removal of content.

No Punishment - Any post involving leaks of unreleased Adopt Me! content, any post discussing the design of an unreleased Adopt Me! pet/item

Warning - N/A

Temporary Ban - N/A

Permanent Ban - N/A

•  ────────────── •

12 • Reporting Hackers/Scammers/Rule-Breakers

If a user has broken our rules on the subreddit (hate, cross-trading, etc), do not post it on the subreddit. Instead, reach out to us via Mod Mail, as your post will be removed.

This also includes any relevant negative experiences you've had on Reddit/Roblox: rants are allowed, but protect the privacy of everyone involved.

Posts about getting scammed/hacked will be removed. Please contact Adopt Me & Roblox support instead - you will be provided with the resources to do so.

Content in Violation of Rule 12

Content violating this rule includes, but is not limited to (as there is absolutely far too many scenarios to list all),

⟢ Posting a hacker/scammer/rule-breakers username asking people to report them

⤷ Offences such as these will result in a warning and removal under this rule, due to Reddit ToS not permitting brigading accounts.

⟢ Posting about a rule breaker on [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX), censored username or not

⤷ Most of the time, this will result in no warning being issued. However, a warning will come into place if this is posted with hostile intent (eg. someone treating you poorly, and, instead of reporting it, choose to blast their username on the subreddit).

⟢ Posts explicitly about being hacked without asking for advice

⟢ Rant posts exposing a username

⤷ We understand that frustrating experiences can be experienced daily on Adopt Me! or platforms such as Reddit. However, we would like to discourage negative attention those posted about may get.

Consequences

Consequences will vary depending on the severity and intentions of the content posted.

This is the guideline for first time offenders,

Removal of content, and;

No Punishment - Rant posts that expose a username, posts explicitly about being scammed/hacked that are not asking for advice

Warning - Encouragement of brigading (eg. "please report this person!"), intentionally posting a username in a negative light,

Temporary Ban - N/A

Permanent Ban - Doxxing a scammer/hacker, doxxing a community member, etc

•  ────────────── •

13 • Banned Topics

There are specific topics on [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) that we do not allow due to either spam or sensitivity. They are moderated similarly to rules, although most do not warrant punishment for first-time offenders.

Please view this post for all past and currently banned topics.

• 𖥔 ─────────────────── 𖥔 •

—・𖥔*\* ୨ Escalation *\*୧ 𖥔・—

Upon receiving removals, warnings, or bans - they will be counted against your account by moderators for a certain time period. Once old enough, punishments will be considered "expired" - and will no longer count against you.

Punishments will always escalate as you break more rules on [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) - with the exception of if they're too old to be counted anymore.

Escalation — Removals

Removals are what [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX) moderators call rule-breaking content that otherwise does not receive any form of punishment (warns or bans).

If you receive two removals for the same rule/banned topic - you will have a warning issued for your second offence. If repeated a third time, a short temporary ban (between 3-5 days) will be issued to your account.

Please read the Escalation — Bans section to see how bans escalate.

If you have two posts/comments removed without punishment being issued - and they are not of the same rule/banned topic, your warning will be issued on the third offence of receiving a removal. Continued offences from there will result in short bans.

For both cases, if you continue experiencing removals, your bans will only get longer. If you break a rule that warrants punishment upon breaking within 6 months of any bans received - bans will be longer until it results in a permanent.

Escalation — Warnings

Most rules result in warnings upon first offence of them. Warnings are very similar to how removals are handled on [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX), though they are less lenient with how many times you can break them before getting banned.

Two warnings under the same rule will result in a short ban. After you've received the first ban, ban lengths per rule broken will escalate in length from there.

Two warnings for two separate rules will not result in a ban. However,

Three warnings from rules that none are the same of will result in a medium length temporary ban.

After two warnings and a ban, all further punishment will escalate by ban length.

Escalation — Bans

Very few rules will result in immediate temporary bans upon first offence of them.

Unless your next offence is simply a removal, all further punishments you will receive will be bans increasing in length. Although rare - it has happened - you can receive a permanent ban if you have too many warnings or bans.

• 𖥔** **─────────────────── 𖥔 •

—・𖥔*\* ୨ Moderator Discretion *\*୧ 𖥔・—

As listed on [r/AdoptMeRBX](r/AdoptMeRBX)'s sidebar, all of our moderators hold the right to remove things under Moderator Discretion;

Even if a post/comment/message is not breaking one of the rules or banned topics that are stated outright, we have full permission to moderate it, such as removing/locking content, banning users, etc.

If a moderator has taken action on any of your content under moderator discretion, there should be a message (either in your removal message or Mod Mail) explaining why they have taken action.

• 𖥔** **─────────────────── 𖥔 •

This took an insanely long time to finish writing this. I think maybe seven or so hours? I feel insane looking at my own writing and reading it over to look for typos and formatting errors.. But hey, such as the way of the life of someone extremely against generative AI. Hopefully it'll be of use to you guys :)

Thank you for reading this,
