No Politics

No mention of political events, politicians or general political discussion regardless of context or intent in this subreddit; "but it was a joke!" is not an excuse. We encourage you to take this content to a more suitable subreddit. You will be banned for breaking this rule.

Don't be Aggressive | Pointlessly Argumentative | Being a creepy weirdo

We're here for people to have fun in. If you're just here to start a stupid reddit slap fight, or post unwelcome comments, you're in the wrong place. We have a zero tolerance rule in place for racism or hate speech. This includes derogatory slurs.

We also have a zero tolerance rule against creepy comments made towards other people.

If you are deemed to be acting in bad faith you will be excluded.

Not UK Content

We're a UK focused subreddit and we are looking exclusively for content relating to the UK.

Stop Moaning | Ranting

Come on now, there's so many other places for you to be a moany-pants. So what if your train is delayed and you forgot about your cup of tea and it went cold. If you're frothing at the mouth about something it's probably not appropriate for here.

Survey | AMA | Charity | Beg Threads | PSA | Ads | Referral links

If you have a survey, AMA or donation drive you want to share these will need pre-approval from the mod team. More often than not, PSA threads are common sense. If you have one you feel is genuinely important to announce, please seek mod approval prior to posting.

Referral links are considered spam.

Self promotion and advertising is not permitted on this subreddit. Reddit has strict rules on advertising content, if you wish to advertise content please look into Reddit for Business.

Themed Posts

You know the kind. I see your funny street sign and raise you my funny street sign. Put it in the original thread as a comment. Copycat posts inspire more copycat posts and we don't like to run the same theme over and over.

Low Effort

We tend to avoid severely overdone topics such as tea posts, pictures of fry ups, debates on crisps and biscuits, yellow label hauls, pictures of sausage rolls. This also covers memes, AI content, variations of"haha only in xPlace" content, starterpacks, "you can't park there mate", pictures of a pile of washing up, your mug or shops having X item available months in advance of Christmas / Easter etc.

We really want fun, interesting, new, engaging content that sparks discussion.

Screenshot of an article / Clickbait Titles

Please post the full article so that others can read it. Screenshots of articles will be removed. Please don't post things like 'you'll never believe this!' or 'lol only in Liverpool' as a title when posting an article - this is the definition of clickbait and we frown on that.

Social Media Screenshot

We reserve the right to remove any that we deem as low-effort, unoriginal, a bit over-done or just not particularly interesting. You can post these but there is a chance we might point you to this rule as to why we have actively curated. We'd like only the best that open valuable (or ridiculous) discussions. This includes marketplace screenshots, WhatsApp prints and meta pics of reddit.

If you are posting, please edit out confidential personal information such as names, emails and numbers.

Doom-posting

Please don't comment about foreign wars, disease outbreaks, or other similar crises that aren't strictly covered by 'No Politics' or 'not UK focused'. There are many other places to discuss these events.

Repetitive Content

We often trim content that we've seen a lot of recently to keep things fresh. Sunrise pictures, pictures of a trolley poking out of some skanky river, funny license plate or shop name, toilet graffiti, British sections in foreign supermarkets, bad parking jobs, the Bude Tunnel. You know. The regular sort of stuff.

If you've seen one in the last couple of days, good chance we'll remove it so it doesn't become a theme.

No ducks

Don't you dare.
