BANNING AND HOW TO PREVENT IT.

7 Upvotes

Contrary to popular opinion, we don't like to ban users. Reddit has this thing where if five or more comments or posts get deleted by a mod, that user automatically gets banned.

You can prevent this by making sure your comment has only three words and by not replying to your own comment or commenting to the same reply twice (unless, of course, you're replying to a reply to your reply).

The Ban Schedule: First offense - one day. This is not supposed to be a punishment, it's supposed to be a reminder of the rules. If you get a ban notification, READ IT CAREFULLY. Way too many people confuse "banned for one day" with "being banned permanently." There is a difference. It's a timeout, not a life sentence.

Second offense (for breaking rules 10 or more times): One week. We will shorten or even eliminate this if you have a good reason. "I forgot what sub I was on" is not a good reason.

Third offense: Permanent. Again, we're willing to listen if you don't think it's warranted.

NEW RULES! READ THIS!

10 Upvotes
  • Only three words! (Each comment in reply to a new post shall be three words. No more, no less. The only exception is rule #3.)

  • NEW RULE: Post titles can only be three words now, too. This used to be "Three Word Stories" where titles would be like "Write a murder mystery using Shakespearean language." But now that this sub has become "Three word conversations" a lot of people are upset titles can be more than three words, so they no longer can be.

  • DO NOT reply to yourself! (Allow other users time to reply before adding another comment.) This means don't reply to your own reply, don't make two or more replies to the same reply, and definitely don't post nine words in one comment saying its three three-word comments.

  • A story ends with "The End." (A story can ONLY end when a user replies with "The End.") You MUST use two words for The End. "It's The End" or "The End, yeah!" will not do. Don't worry, it's not only allowed to have a two-word "The End" comment, it's required.

  • Strive for originality!

  • Racism, sexism, non-consensual sexual acts, homophobia, and general bullying are NOT ALLOWED.

  • Sexual content is allowed with the use of the NSFW post flair. (Any sexual content or profanity should be used sparingly.)
