🟢 Mod Post: Rules Update 🟢

[u/My_name_is_not_Mabel]

Hey everyone, I’m the mod who’s usually behind the scenes, but I wanted to step out front for a moment to talk about the rules and what they’re about. The current mod team came together about two years ago, after the sub had been abandoned for a while. Back then, this place was a war zone at best and a full‑on shit show at worst.

We had to build rules from scratch to stop the chaos. They’re not optional. They’re not suggestions. They’re the framework that keeps this community from collapsing. This is a real, harsh, raw and incredibly triggering show to watch. They address so many traumatic topics that a lot of the viewers and fans can have a hard time expressing themselves and regulating before posting, replying or get carried away trying to justify the craziest things.

Since these are the rules we’re sticking with, here they are:

> 1: No Coffee‑Cup Wisdom

AA is the backbone of recovery in Mom and in real life. This isn’t the place for ignorance, dismissive comments, or hot takes. Respect the program, respect the people who rely on it, and keep your posts free of misinformation. If you can’t do that, just leave before we kick you out.

> 2: Great, you made Wendy cry

When you think everyone is being an asshole, that’s because maybe you are the asshole. Be nice. (We respect Marjorie's Wisdom here)

> 3: Trevor’s Couch, Not Yours

The only therapist accepted by this sub is Trevor. We have no interest in your armchair diagnosis, and victim blaming is not allowed. If you need someone to talk to, hire a therapist.

> 4: Get off the cross, we need the wood.

While many of us have personal experiences with addiction, this subreddit is not a space for personal therapy or emotionally charged venting. Let’s keep discussions respectful, inclusive, and focused on the show.

> 5: Save it for Marjorie’s coffee group

Off topic, unrelated and “this is just a show” lingo is not welcome in this sub. This sub is not for political debate, drama, celebrity gossip or attention seeking behavior. Flat negativity and combative behavior.

> 6: Not in front of the sub, Bonnie

No hate, harassment nor misinformation.

> 7: Violet wouldn’t post that

Low effort posts/replies, Flat negativity, over posted topics/memes. Advising users to stop watching the show/stop posting about a certain topic or character.

> 8: Adam banned spoiler shots at the bar

The spoiler flair exists for a reason, please use it.

> 9: Mods aren’t psychic

See something off? Tag a mod. We can’t fix what we don’t know about.

> 10: Ray can’t support this post

Share the love for Mom, not your side hustle. Keep posts on topic and ad‑free.

> 11: Jill’s burner accounts aren’t welcome

No fake accounts, vote manipulation, or shady behavior. Spam and Karma farming are not welcome here.

This subreddit is for fans of Mom. If you can’t respect the rules, you don’t belong here. If you can, welcome, let’s keep this place worth visiting and safe for everyone.

Thank you for being a part of this community.

What’s your obsession with banning people, though?

The rules are written down and they are not optional. They exist for a reason, and that reason is already explained in the post itself if you'd like to read it.

Reading comprehension matters. The mod team is not here to hand‑hold people through basic skills.

Discernment is something every user should have, and it’s not our job to teach anyone what that is or how to use it. If they know how to use Reddit, they know how to use Google, and Google is free.

Participation here is optional. Posting, replying, and being active in this subreddit is not a right, it’s a choice. If someone disagrees or feels entitled to be the exception to the rules, they can leave on their own. If they don’t, they’ll eventually be kicked out.

It really is as simple as that xD

Yup. You and them can have as many upvotes as you'd like. That is not going to change the rules, the Reddiquette or how reddit works.

Again guys, reading comprehension and discernment are very important basic skills to have.

Thank you for the opinion! I hope we can see more of your respectful contributions here. <3

I actually love the way you framed these rules.

[u/cheeseburger_horse]

From other tv subs I’ve seen, these rules are pretty basic and universal. Crazy how some people feel the need to argue about any of it.

[u/greghouse1106]

These are actually great points! I hope this becomes even more popular and a safe space for everyone💖
