Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

There's no evidence. If they wanted to censor "fuck spez" they would have done it from the beginning. They were censoring nipples and piss - why did they leave those? There were tons of them all over the canvas, with a big one by various communities towards the end. Plus, it's a known fact that admins remove all color but white towards the end - that's why this was planned when people knew r/place was ending.
I also don't see anyone mentioning reddit going down anywhere. You're the first one to mention it that I've seen. You have links that reddit went down? Legit Q because not even the discords I'm in mention anything about that.
Yeah, everyone was talking about it earlier today. Look at the down reports from earlier today: https://downdetector.com/status/reddit/
Ah. Interesting. Thanks for the link.
I think the admins deliberately chose not to censor "fuck spez" because it makes people think they are a free platform
I 104% expect them to use Spez as a scapegoat at this point. Even if that wasn't their original intent, I fully expect that now they're letting the hate focus on him, then they'll fire him (don't worry, he'll still get a hefty severance package) in hopes that it will satisfy people. They want the anger many people have towards Reddit to get transferred to Spez.
After all, this is exactly how Spez ended up CEO. They pulled this with Ellen Pao.
They don't care. They only care about engagement and they got excellent numbers this month, I wager.
Could be, tbh. Or they thought it'd just alienate users more and add more controversy.
They did censor the spez guillotine though.
Yeah. But that's expected (it's like encouraging violence on a real person). And it's only 1 artwork among a sea of "fuck spez" lol. The snoo hung upside-down (Mussolini -style) wasn't.
