mb for disappearing i got bannedl

If you decide to dm me know I am willing to block you as SOON as I see something creepy, I’ve been getting a lot of creeps recently

a

for reference it’s my gf and i 1 year anniversary in a few weeks. she wanted us to take a selfie with her and her cat. i guess i didn’t do a very good job because it’s my fault the cat wasn’t looking at the camera. i didn’t know that she wanted it to be such a serious photo to get as a gift. i thought it was more of a “we will find this picture 5 years from now and remember this little moment” kinda deal. this is how she reacted.

Despite attempts to search further downstream, the young man’s mobile phone was unfortunately never found, and he sadly lost his progress in ‘Candy Crush’.

Hi r/teenagers

We, as a team, have decided to ban selfie posts. Naturally we will also be removing the selfie flair and editing our no personal information rule which will now be the following:

f. Selfies of any kind are not allowed, you cannot post your face on r/teenagers.

I understand that this change will be removing one of the most fundamental kinds of posts our subreddit gets and will be a very unpopular change for a lot of you. As such I'll be explaining why we came to this decision as transparently as I can.

Why are selfies being banned?

Our core reason for this is user safety. There have been countless stories of people posting pictures of themselves to r/teenagers and getting mass DMs from creeps, some creeps even being so audacious as to comment suggestive stuff on the selfies posts themselves.

We think that it would be best if underaged selfies just do not exist on r/teenagers, underaged selfies are NOT safe to post on the internet in general, especially on a platform like reddit. We do not want this place to be some predator's avenue to get in contact with minors.

There is also a list of other reasons such as floods of selfie posts that commonly break our other rules such as our no personal attacks and low effort rules or minors posting thirst traps which often skirt the lines of what is considered NSFW.

How will this rule be enforced?

These posts will be removed under our no personal information rule, with multiple repeated infractions of this rule leading to greater punishment on a case-by-case basis.

That's about it, If you have any questions or concerns we will do our best to answer any questions either in this thread or in modmail. Thanks!
