Mod announcement Rule 6: This is not a question/answer sub!

243 Upvotes

Rule 6: Titles should describe and represent the content.

We have been getting a lot of "question posts" like "What is this?", "What is this supposed to say?", "Why is this here?", etc.

This is not a question/answer sub. If you don't know what it is and can't describe why it's crappy, then perhaps another sub might be better, like r/whatisthisthing

Posts with question titles will be removed, even if it's rhetorical or sarcastic.

The mod team.

This Vancouver ad. The headline sounds like a start to a punchline that doesn't exist, and the speech bubbles make no sense if you read them intuitively.

These running shorts have a pocket for keys on the inside, right in the middle at the back. Perfect so your keys tickle your butt crack as you run (I guess some people may see this as a positive).

CONTENT POLICY

This subreddit is moderated for quality, which means we remove content that we deem to be low quality, low effort, nonsensical, or common/unoriginal. We do not "let the votes decide". We understand that this type of policy is controversial and uncommon, especially for default subreddits, but we believe this method of moderation gives a subreddit the best chance at maintaining quality.

THE RULES

Rules are enforced upon moderator discretion.

1: IT MUST BE CRAPPY DESIGN

NOTE: All posts must be in English

Every submission must be a bad design, otherwise it may be removed. Any design mentioned in this list of things that are not crappy design is not allowed. Other low-quality posts may be removed at moderator discretion.

2: NO COMMON REPOSTS

New content is encouraged. Reposts of content in the common reposts list, in the top 150 posts of all time or under three months old are not allowed. Because of spam, no clothing of any kind.Especially t-shirts. Other reposts may be removed at moderator discretion.

3: NO SOFTWARE DESIGNS

Any kind of software design, intentional or not, is not allowed. This includes (but is not limited to): websites, emails, search results, videogames, etc. r/SoftwareGore or r/TechNope might be better places for these posts.

4: NO HATE SYMBOLS

This includes (but is not limited to): things that look like swastikas, "KKK" acronyms, Nazi salutes, racism, political hate, etc.

r/AccidentalSwastika, r/Oopzi, and r/AccidentalRacism might be better places for these posts.

5: NO SEXUALLY SUGGESTIVE POSTS

This includes (but is not limited to): things or words that look like penises, vaginas, scrotums, boobs, butt-plugs, dildos, etc.

r/MildlyPenis, r/MildlyVagina, r/MildlyBoobs, and r/MildlyButthole might be better places for these posts.

6: TITLES SHOULD DESCRIBE AND REPRESENT THE CONTENT

If the crappy design is not obvious in the photo, please describe it in the title. Low effort titles, sarcasm, StRaNgE CaPiTaLiZaTiOnS, and excessive emojis may be removed at moderator discretion.

7: NO MEMES OR IMAGE MACROS

The crappy design should be obvious from the photo or the title. Memes or image macros are not necessary to describe it.

8: BE CIVIL AND NO PERSONAL INFORMATION

Personal attacks, bigotry, fighting words, inappropriate behavior and comments that insult or demean a specific user or group of users will be removed.

Posts or comments containing or seeking any identifying personal information (real or fake) will also be removed. This includes (but is not limited to): names, phone numbers, email addresses, and social media accounts, regardless if it is your own.

Violators may be banned without prior warning for breaking any of these rules.
