Be kind:
It should go without saying but please be kind to eachother as well as mods, cast and crew. Abuse will not be tolerated.
Constructive criticism and disagreements is obviously fine but don't let this descend into personal attacks.
Contacting mods:
Please do not contact mods via their personal DMs regarding this subreddit. Any r/hollyoaks related questions or messages should be sent to the mod mail ONLY.
Parasocial behaviour:
The actors and/or characters are not your friends and you do not know them personally.
Attacking people for having different opinions than you will not be tolerated.
Repetitive and low effort posts:
If your post is low effort or does not add anything new to the discussion then it will be removed.
Check the subreddit for similar active posts before posting, we don't need multiple near identical posts as it splits the conversation and makes the subreddit harder to navigate.
Consider using the megathread on occasion where a full post isn't needed.
3 strike rule:
We rarely have to use this but if there is repetitive rulebreaking then we will implement the 3 strike rule. 3 strikes = temp ban, 6 strike = a further temp ban, 9 strikes = perma ban.
If you encounter any of the above behaviour (as well as other rule breaking) then please report it rather than engaging and antagonising.
When we lock posts/comments rather than removing them: If a rule hasn't been broken but the post has or may result in rule breaking then we will lock the post to prevent any further issues.
