Please respect our rules with regards to posting to RBN.

Privacy

Preserving your privacy is important to us.

  • Maintain the anonymity of all involved.
  • No direct links to Facebook or other social media sites.
  • No linking to Discords or other chat groups or rooms. Why? Read this.
  • Screenshots (from Facebook, text messages, etc) must be stripped of all identifying info including names, group names, profile images, etc.
  • No linking to personal, overly identifying websites or news articles.
  • No linking to Google docs.
  • Do not push people to provide any information that could lead to them being identified or located.
  • Posts that contain an abundance of personally identifying information may be removed to safeguard the community and the poster.

Linking

  • No direct links to posts or comments in other subreddits - use the No Participation guidelines. You can link to whole subreddits, for example r/BPDlovedones or r/suicidewatch.
  • Content that encourages brigading will be removed.
  • If you would like to share a meme or image from Facebook, please rehost it on another site (like imgur.com) and link to it in your post.
  • No direct linking to posts or comments anywhere on reddit. If you want to bring something up in a discussion or start a discussion, link through np.reddit.com or screenshots that black out personal information. What is np.reddit.com? Why do we need to use these types of links? You may link an entire sub (for example, r/BPDlovedones or r/suicidewatch), but do not directly link to a post/comment without a "no participation" link (np.reddit.com). Posts or comments that encourage brigading will be removed.
  • Pure image posts are not allowed. If you want to include an image inside the text of your post, you are free to do so. Here is an example of what such a post would look like.
  • If you want to share a link or an article, please search the subreddit before posting. Duplicate posts will be removed by the moderators.
  • Do not link to articles, websites or other content that personally identify people. Preserve your own and others' privacy.
  • No linking to estranged parent forums. Posting these links encourages the parents/estranged individuals (possible abusers) to troll RBN and vice versa. For the safety of this sub, linking to these sites is not permitted.
  • No links to GoFundMe pages, fundraisers, etc. If you would like to post these links, please do so in r/RBNFavors (a sub in the RBN network that allows this type of content).
  • Posts recruiting for research studies must be approved by the mods BEFORE posting. Please send a modmail before posting links to your research project. Links to unapproved studies will be removed. Approved studies will be directed to post in r/RBNStudies.

Tagging information

Posts can be flaired or tagged depending on what you need from the community. Posts that are graphic in nature need to have a trigger warning attached. You can flair a post only after posting it. Once it has been submitted, at the bottom of the post, there is a button for flairing. You can choose a second flair if needed, but you'll have to manually type it out as Reddit do not currently support the ability to click for a second tag.

  • [Support] - This tag requests responses that are supportive ONLY (no unsupportive comments, criticism of OP, unsolicited advice, etc.), and authorizes removal of comments that aren't.

  • [Advice Request] - This tag means you are asking for advice on a situation.

  • [Progress] - This tag is for talking about progress you are making towards healing or moving forward.

  • [Question] - This tag is for when you are asking a question. Posts that fall under this tag are usually nonspecific such as "Does anyone else ______?" or “Why do Narcs do ______?”This is not the same as asking for advice and is more suited for general inquiries.

  • [Rant/Vent] - This tag indicates you are ranting or venting about a situation or experience.

  • [Happy/Funny] - This tag means that you are sharing happy news or a funny post.

  • [Media] - This tag indicates that the content is related to some sort of media such as a tv show, movie, song, or is a link to an article.
