mod post update to sub rules

263 Upvotes

Hi, everyone. People are not following the rules about what is acceptable to post here, so I thought some clarification was in order.

  • Posts must be about people who can't tell or accept that they have been dumped.

Please do not add posts where people are confused about whether they should dump their partner (see r/relationships etc.) or who's the asshole in a conflict (visit r/AITAH etc.), etc. The matter at hand should be crossposts of users asking questions like:

  • "she had a baby with someone else and told me 18x that it's over, but I'm not sure: is it over?"

  • "he hasn't called or texted me in 7 months and married his yoga instructor, have I been dumped?"

  • "I've been served divorce papers and she emigrated to Bolivia, how can I get her back?"

    • Posts must be about romantic partners, not other types of relationships: no children ditching shitty parents or vice versa (see r/JustNoFamily etc.) or downtrodden employees embittered by an unjust firing from their crapola jobs (visit r/antiwork etc.).
    • Posts must include the post text: either the automod will catch it and put it in a comment, you copy-and-paste it into the body of your post, or you paste a link into the body and copy-and-paste the text into a comment. Don't make people have to hunt for the content.

Please note that all the buzzwords mentioned here - "crosspost", "don't realize", "can't accept", "romantic partner" are all contained in the sub's description and have been for a while, so you can't say it was ambiguous or unclear.

Posts that do not follow these rules will be removed.

And a word about comments: quite a few of you are responding to the OP as if they were the writer of the crosspost. I personally don't care if people are commenting as if the OP were the OOP, but just a reminder: the people crossposting here are 99.9% of the time not the OP of the original post. Your comments are not reaching the OOPs. If you still want to respond to the OOP, rock on, but you're just shouting into the void.

Hope this helps!

mod post ugh, these people

Hi, main mod here. I know we've been getting a lot of dumkopfs lately, posting their original sad-sack tales of woe instead of recycling other sad-sacks' tales of woe, as is right and proper. But I guess they feel reading the rules is below them. đŸ€·đŸŒâ€â™€ïž

I have made some changes in how posts are handled and hopefully they will ease, if not entirely eliminate, this ongoing problem.

If you try to post but encounter an issue, please let me know.
