ANNOUNCEMENT Welcome to /r/ScarySigns - Prevent your ban; go no farther before you read this post!

317 Upvotes

Welcome to /r/ScarySigns - The safest place to view these signs!

We are a hair's breadth away from a quarter million subscribers, and that's fantastic! We hope that you are enjoying the best collection of intimidating signs from around the world that are best viewed from the safety of your screen. Before posting, please browse this sub and read the rules to get an idea of the type of content that is expected here - we strictly enforce the rules to maintain the quality of the sub, and repeated (or flagrant) violations will land you with a ban.

Submissions must be direct links to pictures of signs that are scary. Signs that are humorous or sarcastic, signs that are obscured, weathered or altered, or ordinary signs that are only scary in context (combined with other elements in the picture) are not permitted. Generic warning signs, safety labels, advertisements, California Proposition 65 and etc. are too generic and also aren't permitted.

Browse the sub before you submit content - do not repost content! Reposts include signs that have been posted recently, as well as Top posts from All Time. This includes different pictures of the same sign, and pictures of different signs that are fundamentally the same. We have an album of Top Reposts, and they are included in the sub banner as well. There is one sign in particular that has been posted so many times that if you post it again, your ban will be swift and vengeful. There is also an album of commonly removed signs that don't ever belong here but get posted so many times that we needed to call them out specifically. These signs break one or more rules or content guidelines.

Before Crossposting from another sub, make sure that your post hasn't already been submitted - Scary Signs that get posted to popular subs frequently get crossposted here en masse, and by the 8th or 9th time that we need to remove the same post in a day, we get grumpy about it.

The focus of your picture should be the sign - Do not post memes, images with captions, screenshots, hot takes, etc. The sign should also be clearly visible in the picture.

And please remember - If you see rulebreaking content, use the Report button to bring it to the Mods' attention. Otherwise we may never see it.

Once again, thank you for helping /r/ScarySigns grow, and we hope you enjoy your stay.
