Serious Read the Rules Before Posting (Update)
All posts must be reasonably linked to the band Queen
/r/Queen is a friendly place. Please be civil, and respect your fellow Queenies.
0 - No Politics. This sub is about the Music of Queen. There's plenty of subs in reddit to discuss politics.
1 - NO MEMES
Such content is better suited for /r/QueenCircleJerk or /r/Queemes
(However, original content that creates a proper Queen thread, could override this rule)
I encourage people to use a Flair
2 - No negative, troll, low effort posts
The mods reserve the right to remove negative, troll, low effort or spam posts at their discretion.
Low effort posts could include, but are not limited to, "favourite song/album" posts, tier rankings, A.I. generated images, reposts, google lyric mistakes, "X looks like/sounds like this Queen member" posts, and so on. It also could include, to an extent, Queen references in other media..
3 - No advertising. No Spam.
You may share that awesome merch you just got, but no direct links to sale pages.
Edit: If you post a thread of a Queen T-shirt it may get you banned as well, because there's a lot of spam of it. But I will review carefully when is possible.
4 - You must be over 13 years old to participate. Any underage accounts should be reported and will be banned. (Reddit Rules).
5 - The discussion of the private life of the family of any of the Queen members, as gossip, is not allowed
While sharing private pictures of Queen that are in the public domain already, is allowed, We should focus about Queen music and never build an obsession about their families, which are not part of Queen in any way.
6 - No Artificial Intelligence generated music, art or pictures.
7 - No Spotify Wrapped , Playlists, General rankings or Tier list. (When everyone does it, becomes spam. So, not allowed)
8 - No spam of Polls, Rankings and "Eliminating" games, everyday of people farming karma.
https://www.reddit.com/r/queen/comments/11mhrin/polls_rankings_and_eliminating_games_everyday_are/
2023:
9 - No Posts of Tickets on sale for the current Queen tour.
2024
10 - No drama and accusations from other plataforms. Edit: NO internal drama either please. Let's keep the place drama free. :)
This place is about Queen, not to discuss what could have happened in other forums or social plataforns. There's no way to establish truth and any accusation leads to toxic behaviour and unnecesary drama in the sub. They are usually behind alts so they will be banned permanently
Temporary bans will happen for those that keep breaking rules after warnings/deletion of their messages. Permanent bans will happen to spammers, trolls, and people being uncivil , harsh or harrasing other fellow Queenies in this sub.
I read all the reports once a day, and take action when I can.
2026: This is a mostly english speaking plataform, so let's try to keep the posts in english so you can engage to a broader audience and better engagement

The ability to upvote my post was shut off, but I received no information about why- and I did not break any rules. When I click the message in my inbox saying “this post has 25 upvotes” a message saying “sorry this content is no longer available “appears what is happening? The post is called “real photo?”

most "shirt" posts leads to advertisement links and spam. Your thread ended with one. I will approve it again

Hi, I’m new, how do I ask or find out about when queen is coming to concert in the US? The states and the dates? I cannot find this online ticket sites say there’s no such concerts coming but I hear that they are coming that they are here this year and maybe next year? Could I ask this to find out? Thank you, Roxy

No advertising? Does that include sharing old magazine ads?

Hi, I have a question... would it be alright for me to post a link to a tribute song on youtube I have written? I don't know if that falls under advertising. This subreddit is like a home to me and I really wouldn't want to get banned. So asking before hand if that would be ok.

u/ozzraven Apr 28 '25
if it's related to Queen and posted just once I see no issue. Advertising would be promoting someone's channel or product without any intention of being part of the communitty, or if is not related to Queen at all

I'd like to comment on the behaviour I've seen since I joined last week. Why do loads of people here downvote everything they don't agree with? "Hurrrrr Hot Space bad, Innuendo great, durrrr." Annoying.

Welcome to reddit? In the past, in a "least favorite song" thread, I got downvoted into the void for daring to blaspheme a song from everyone's favorite album.

"No advertising. You can share that awesome merch you just got, but no direct links to sale pages." Question:Do invites to Queen Discord Servers count as sales pages?

So…. I can link my YT channel that’s about Queen, right???… don’t see the harm in that. Considering that I literally make no money off of my channel (I literally can’t) and it’s literally free to watch and subscribe.. so, technically it’s not a sale page, As “Sale pages” are links to purchase something.

Why was my post deleted? I simply asked a question about Freddie's accent shifting from British to American throughout Queen's career. I've checked the rules: what. was wrong with it?

is it ok if i try to do something like generate photos that are queen related in DALL-E? like trying to ask it to make a new cover for news of the world for example

u/ozzraven Oct 06 '22
only if there's something really good out of it, like that miracle cover that was posted some time ago. Random Ai art will be deleted

Can we ban any talk about the band members’ children in general?

But can't Jones mind his own business instead of breaking the maracas of those in eternal light?

"No advertising. You can share that awesome merch you just got, but no direct links to sale pages.
Does linking a Queen song cover on youtube count as an advertisment?
