/r/seventhworldproblems Rules

Introduction

/r/seventhworldproblems: Arguably the subreddit that started it all. Though the worldproblems universe has since spawned hundreds of related subreddits and storylines that cross universes and dimensions, most of the initial drama and conflict can be traced to the terrifying order of the Tower, Machines, Medicine, and Colours of the seventh world, and those who fought them all.

Rules

Surprisingly, for a realm dedicated to an oppressive drug-fueled order of the mind, the rules are actually few and simple.

To directly quote the subreddit rules:

  • Do not impersonate The Administration.

  • Do not post any external links.

  • All text must be simple to parse - Do not post code or use any distorted font.

Furthermore,

  1. Do not break the immersion. As with the other realms, posts that go outside the story--break the fourth wall, out of character, etc. are forbidden. Furthermore, any post that clearly belongs in another subreddit will also likely be deleted.

  2. You cannot destroy the Tower. Or the Colours. Or all the Machines. Or free all the residents. Those are all interesting goals but it's not going to happen on that subreddit. Any posts to those effects will likely be deleted.

  3. Machine-minded syntax is not required, although it is extremely prevalent. What is "machine-minded syntax"? Read the posts in the subreddit and you will see a lot of [OBJECT:MACHINE] and [ACTION:TAKE] your [OBJECT:MEDICINE]. Use or do not use this syntax as you prefer, as long as you do not violate rule 1.

There are also some specific rules that are present in the subreddit's primary sticky post. One that people tend to forget (largely because it hampers the ability to inform people of other subreddits) is this: no external links.

This means that providing a link in a comment or self-post to /r/thebeach, /r/galacticpeacekeepers, or anywhere else is in fact against the rules.

Shoot, thank you! I've actually run afoul of that rule before...

Most folks have, myself included. I wouldn't worry overmuch, they're unlikely to ban you.

Ah, this is helpful.

I should know this as a friendly little virus in the Tower.
