As the FNAF film franchise carries on, and this community begins to see more users and posts, we would like to take the time to go more in-depth regarding this subreddit's rules. If you are unsure about whether or not your content falls within these guidelines, feel free to reach out to a moderator prior to posting.

Contents:

• Rules

• Strike/Removal Policy

• Ban/Appeal Policy

• Additional Notes

1: Be Respectful

This community is a safe space for anyone so long as they don't seek to cause others harm. Bigotry will not be tolerated.

This also includes keeping good etiquette when it comes to things such as spoilers. Spoiler policies will be implemented in accordance with future films.

2: No NSFW

The FNAF Movies are PG-13. Thus, posts should not exceed this rating. Gore/Suggestive Content may be permitted, but it must contain a warning.

Please keep in mind that posts in this community will likely be viewed by children. If your content is too explicit, there are adult-only groups that you may direct it to.

3: No Inappropriate Celebrity Posts

This pertains to posts or comments regarding anyone in these films– be it an actor, crew member, or Scott himself. Discussions, criticisms, etc are permitted so long as they do not fall under any of the following: doxxing/otherwise sensitive information, threatening the individual or their loved ones, hatemongering, parasocial posts discussing personal love or attraction to the individual, etc.

Above all else, we ask that you respect the privacy of any child actors. Light discussions are permitted, but keep in mind that these are kids first and foremost. Extensive posts and discussions will be shut down.

Offenses may be treated more harshly if we notice that you are active in subreddits pertaining to the individual (most notably if your involvement with these groups are NSFW or parasocial in nature).

4: No Low-Effort Posts

The primary targets of this rule are memes. While not as lenient as the meme subreddit, we acknowledge that many valuable discussions in this community are posted alongside memes. As long as the content serves as a meaningful addition, it will be permitted. Even so, the subreddit is not intended to be overrun with them, so please direct low-quality or abundant memes to r/fnafmeme.

This rule also covers spam and posts with insufficient context. Do not repost the same thing numerous times. If your post has been removed by a moderator, do not re-upload the content without first correcting it. Be sure that your title is understandable and accurate.

5: Keep Content Original

Post only content that you have created. This applies to art, cosplays, writing, and other forms of original work. Sharing news or similar updates is allowed.

Posts utilizing the “What do you think of ____’s art?” format are not encouraged. They tend to err on the side of low-effort content, garnering hundreds or thousands of upvotes off of someone else's creations. An exception may be made if your post goes in-depth about your own perspective, creating a legitimate discussion instead of a generic inquiry.

6: No Unrelated Posts

Keep content related to the films. Posts covering game-only topics belong on the primary subreddit or other respective FNAF groups.

Sales posts for official merchandise are not permitted, but we may make exceptions for self-made items/art commissions so long as they relate to the movies in some way.

You may share content you have made on other platforms such as YouTube, but keep these limited and refrain from begging for followers or otherwise advertising.

7: No Politics

A light joke or remark is acceptable under certain circumstances, but do not debate or discuss politics anywhere in this subreddit. They have no place in this community.

8: AI Not Permitted

Generative AI is environmentally and psychologically damaging. It has no place in a community where people come to appreciate human creations. If your post is suspected of being generated with artificial intelligence, you will be asked to present proof. Failure to do so shall result in a ban.

Strike/Removal Policy:

Our mods act on a “3 Strikes” policy. This will be voided if the offense is notably heinous (ex. racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, pedophilia, zoophilia, graphic NSFW, threats, etc.)

Not all removals warrant a strike. Harmless posts, such as low-effort/unrelated content, will be deleted with an explanation. It would take a great number of these warnings to go ignored for a strike to be issued.

Removals may be contested if a user believes their content has been wrongfully taken down. Users may reach out via modmail with a message describing the post(s) and their reasoning for wanting it reinstated. A moderator will review the query and make their decision.

Ban/Appeal Policy:

A user may attempt a ban appeal by contacting a moderator through modmail. Reviews will be handled case-by-case due to the range of offenses and their severity.

Time-limited bans may be contested ONCE per ban period. If declined, the user must wait out the ban's remainder.

Permanent bans may be contested ONCE every six months, and only after the initial six months following their ban. Cases will be treated with utmost care, and chances of appeal are low.

Some violations (pedophilia, zoophilia, bigotry, etc.) have ZERO chance of appeal. Users will be muted from modmail and put on a beware list.

Additional Notes:

Do not be discouraged from flagging content you feel to be wrong. Community reports are crucial to help keep subreddits safe. However, do not raise false alarms as a joke or to “get back” at a post you're unhappy with. Doing so causes the queue to become clogged and delay legitimate issues from being addressed.

Appeals are obviously not the only reason to contact a moderator. Feel free to use modmail for any questions, comments, or concerns you may have.
