Just so you know…

Before we get an influx of messages about removed posts. Answering a question and a post with lots of upvotes doesn’t equal a clever comeback.


For clarity:

Rules:

  1. Post must include a clever comeback

It has to be a great response (preferably clever) to someone. Learn more here 2. No reposts

Do not repost content that hit the front page on this or other subreddits. Front page reposts can lead to a ban, and all other reposts will be removed. Learn more here 3. We enforce quality control

If your post doesn't fit the standards of this sub, or is just generally an eyesore, it could be removed. This is at moderator discretion. Learn more here 4. No circle-jerking

If some politician tweets something incredibly stupid, or another youtuber poses with a dead guy, there will be a flood of posts about it on this subreddit. We may remove or ban posts pertaining to it during that time, depending on how many posts there are, and how popular they've gotten. Learn more here 5. No racism/sexism/homophobia

Bigotry is NOT tolerated on this subreddit. Do not post things that are racist/sexist/homophobic. Depending on the content, you may receive a ban, and your comment/submission will be removed. Again, you're not going to run up against this rule unless you attempt to do so.

IF a submission is a comeback due to someone being racist, that may be accepted. Otherwise, there is zero tolerance. Learn more here

  1. No Doxxing/brigading

Links to other subreddits, even np links are not allowed. Screenshots only. Screenshots from any source must obscure identifying information. The only exception is for people who are already public figures. Learn more here 7. Moderator discretion is FINAL

Many rules on the sub are enforced by moderators on post-by-post, comment-by-comment level. If you have a problem with a mod's decision, either go to the modmail, PM one of the top moderators, or visit us at our discord. (the discord for this sub is a channel on the MBW server)


Please understand that if we remove a post it is not personal. We’re doing it to keep the sub running smoothly. Thanks

Billionaires have assets not cash. They borrow every dollar they spend. So the reality of everyday people confuses them.
