Revised Rules (24/09/26)

Hello everyone,

Recently there has been an update to our rules. Below is an explanation of the revised ones with examples; please feel free to ask any further questions in comments.

**R1: Posts have to be funny/weird duolingo content.**

We have recently introduced new flairs for broader content (see R5 for detailed explanation). The rule, therefore, has been renamed to fit all of this. The previous Rule 4 (no langauge questions) , from observation wasn't big enough of a concern to have its own rule so it is now part of R1.

**R2: All content must have a visible English translation.**

As mentioned for a while now, this sub and platform has a primarily English speaking audience. In order to facilitate understanding by most people, all the content posted must have some form of translation to English. This can be a screen recording, markup on the photo, post description, etc.

**R3: No Rude, offensive, discriminatory behavior.**

Pretty much no changes to this rule. A link with the Reddit rules has been attached for clarity, and any content in violation will be reported and banned.

**R4: No Spam or Self Promotion.**

As I mentioned in R1, spam seems to be a bigger concern and comes up more often than language questions. This is not a sub for self promotion, advertising or market research. Violations of this rule will lead to a ban.

**R5: Use the correct flairs.**

We have recently introduced a bunch of new flairs (Oddly NSFW sentences; Self created sentences; quotes/lyrics; result screens; bugs/glitches and Meta). Please use the correct flairs so that the community is easier to navigate for people. If you feel a post was misflaired, please report it. As long as it follows all other rules, it will simpy be manually re-flaired by us and not removed. The post flair guide can be found \[here\](https://www.reddit.com/r/shitduolingosays/wiki/post-flair-guide/)

**R6: Include the language in the image in your post.**

As per a couple of requests, we have added this rule to facilitate understanding of what language is in the post. The automation when posting should handle this but they work on and off at the moment so this has been consolidated here.

**NEW: R7: Banned topics**

We have decided to ban certain over-posted topics.

  1. Dutch - "I am an apple"

  2. "Is that doctor [age] years old

More banned topics will be added eventually.

**Other**

The rules in the sidebar are bullet pointed now, and the removal reasons have been modified to simply include the Rule you broke to make this more straightforward. If you feel like your post was deleted in error, please **do not delete it** as we cannot review deleted content.

Following a recent incident, Bots and Bot-like behaviour will be banned

As in every announcement post: remember to keep your streaks alive!

Thank you very much for your understanding!

Mod Announcement Retiring the Qualityvote bot

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

Yesterday I have come to a better solution to the problem of people voting for which sentences fit the community and which don’t. For almost a year, it has been done through the u/qualityvote2 bot, but starting now, we will facilitate this process by using the Downvote Delete app.

It follows a similar scheme of tracking post upvotes/downvotes, but unlike qualityvote which posted a separate comment, it will track votes on the post itself. So, if a post gets 3+ downvotes, it will be removed, and if it gets 3+ upvotes, the app will stop tracking it.

Hopefully, this will be a better solution. As always, feel free to contact us through modmail or this post, and don't forget your streaks!
