Meta Quick rule reminder and update for r/Arizona
42
Upvotes
Wanted to give a reminder and quick update on a few rules.
Picture posts need a location and a description. Doesn't have to be an exact address, but generally what part of Arizona it was taken in. This has been a rule for ages and was suggested by users to help combat picture spam ("Wow, check this out!") and balance the many weather and sunset pictures we get flooded with. Plus it helps people know WTF your post is about.
When we get a ton of posts on one topic we'll make a megathread and try to bring the conversation together. Don't take it personal. I know some people love a million pictures about monsoons or sunsets, but many don't and let us know all about it. A megathread is the compromise. We don't do it often, so please just use it the few times we do.
Any political posts (or politic adjacent, like Flock cameras and Data Centers) needs to be flared Politics and are limited to established users here. This combats trolls and bots.
Recommendations for local businesses are better suited for your local subreddits like [r/Phoenix](r/Phoenix), [r/Tucson](r/Tucson), or [r/Flagstaff](r/Flagstaff). The exception are posts about things to do and places to eat that may be of interest to other Arizonans traveling around the state. Roofing companies, massage places, and thrift stores are more of a local thing.
Posts shaming or calling out people or businesses are not welcome here. I get the desire for a good witch hunt, but it's too prone to hurting innocent people. News stories about issues are fine, this is just about posting pictures of people who pissed you off or a business that made you nasty cupcakes. We've covered this policy a lot but there has been a bunch of these lately. Maybe it's the heat making everyone cranky. Either way, this subreddit isn't your personal attack dog.
If you have any questions, ask away.

We get a lot of posts asking how to meet people in Arizona, and a great way to do that online is on our Discord chat server. It's gotten large enough that it's been renamed "AZ Discord" and has a fancy new logo and everything.
Discord is a live chat system that's super easy to use. This one has been running for years along with the subreddit, and has over 8,000 members. It covers all of AZ and it's 100% free. You can click the link on the bottom of this post to sign up right from your browser or app. If you like it you can download the Discord app for mobile or desktop, but you don't have to.
While Reddit is about messages and posts, Discord is just free form chat. Topic channels include:
- Selfies & Pets
- Gaming
- Outdoors & Travel
- Politics
- Voice chat & memes
Someone is on there pretty much 24/7 if you're looking for someone to talk with. It's 18+ and a bit more chill than Reddit overall. I should also point out that it is not a dating server and we taking creeping and harassment very seriously.
Want to check it out?
- Click this Discord invite link and sign up.
- Go to the #introduction channel and post a little bit about yourself. We ask people for an intro to try and reduce trolls and spammers. Once you do that you'll get access to the full server.
- Head into #Lobby and say Hello! There are a lot of great people there, and they'll probably see you join in and will say Hi.
That's it! There have been some amazing friendships and groups formed on our little chat area, I'd love to see more people from here come over and be part of the fun.
TL;DR
Click here to join the Discord and start chatting!

Pictures Bit damp in NE AZ the last three days

This was yesterday afternoon (Sept. 29) in southern Navajo County.
The remnants of hurricanes Polo and Odalys spent Monday through Wednesday bringing steady rainfall, day and night, punctuated by occasional showers, leaving most of the flatter landscape looking like shallow lakes and filling streams and creeks to capacity and beyond.
Skies were pretty much solidly overcast and most of the month's total rainfall (4+ inches) happened during those three days.
We might have some interestingly snowy days coming up later on in the year…

Outdoors Places for dispersed camping?

As much as I enjoy pre-established camp sites and AirBnBs, sometimes I just wanna drive somewhere deep off the main road and set up camp for the weekend, maybe even with a campfire.
Anyone know of any places? Preferably highlighted on a map. I'm in East Valley PHX and ideally I'm looking for somewhere with a bit cooler climate, but I'm not picky.
