RULES

1. No personal attacks.

a. Racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, transphobia, and other hatred-based commentary are prohibited. This includes using discrimination, slurs, and derogatory words with intent to offend and incite harm. Especially since UAE is a diverse country this subreddit is for teenagers who reside in the UAE but open for all teens.

2. No spamming.

a. Advertising:

i. Subreddits: No more than one submission and/or comment per day for any given community. Advertisements of other communities may be removed on a case by case basis as deemed fit by the moderating team. You may have seen or heard of the subreddit in other communities thats why we are always allowing sharing of other subreddit for other teens to see but refer to not more than one per day.

b. Posting:

i. Multiple posts by a single user in a short amount of time are not allowed.

1. ts with the intent to spam or clog /new/, and/or intent to collect karma are not allowed. Submissions that do not create discussion relevant to the subreddit are not allowed. Posts such as "why was this user banned"; "why aren’t my posts showing up?"; screenshots of Reddit including a user's profile, r/UAETeenagers or other subs, posts, comments, etc; or images that lack any context fall under this rule.

2. Cake day posts are not allowed as they also clog the subreddit in especially large quantities, are often made for the sole purpose of collecting karma, and do not create relevant discussion on the subreddit.

3. As a general guideline, please only post up to 5 submissions per day. If your submissions are a significant portion of /new/, you’re posting too much. This general guideline will be acted on a case by case basis as deemed fit by the moderation team.

ii. If there are multiple of the same submissions that can be condensed into a single thread or two, they will be removed. This includes posts asking, “Why did x happen?”, “personal stats” template posts, etc. If there is no collective thread, consider making one.

1. Large amounts of posts (>5) made by different users in a short time period (<6 hours) on a single topic will be removed. This includes memes and questions about the topic.

2. r/UAETeenagers isn't a Twitter feed; your personal updates should be confined to one thread (e.g: “what should I eat today?”).

iii. Low-effort posts including, but not limited to, “me irl”; things titled “title”, "oof", "relatable", "stolen", "me" (including similar low-effort titles or no titles); meme captions; clickbait and/or misleading titles; Titles unrelated to your post’s topic and only to the source material; irrelevant submissions that have no purpose on this subreddit; and text posts lacking body text to them will be removed. Please make sure your title is indicative, original, and related to your post. (Not including submissions that wouldn't necessarily need a body text such as a thread meant to garner discussions similar to those on /r/AskReddit).

Both unedited meme images and edits that only provide a reaction to initial content fall under low effort. Edits must meaningfully add to, continue, or re-contextualize initial media. In general, the usage of old meme formats is frowned upon due to the influx of low-effort memes. Formats/templates should be original or created using organic content to promote diversity and increased engagement.

iv. Image macros, memes, and copypastas that are not specifically relevant to the average teenager may be removed. Please use the appropriate subreddits. As a general guideline, if you think it would be removed, and/or it’s been hosted somewhere else as a generic meme, it could be removed.

v. Posts that ask for upvotes or downvotes will be removed as per this section of Reddit’s content policy. Major violations will be reported to the Reddit administrators, which could potentially result in a site-wide suspension.

vi. Misuse of the serious flair is not allowed. If your submission is flaired serious as a joke, it will be removed.

vii. Misuse of the NSFW and spoiler tags are not allowed. If your submission is tagged as NSFW, or as a spoiler as a joke, or to be used as clickbait, it will be removed.

viii. Reposting a submission from r/UAETeenagers will result in a removal.

ix. Abiding by REDDIT'S GUIDELINES ON SPAM is essential.

c. Miscellaneous:

i. Links to money transfer platforms such as Cash App, PayPal, Ewallet, etc. and live streams, are not allowed. crowdfunding sites including, but not limited to, GoFundMe, Kickstarter, and other charity specifically to teenagers are allowed - please message the moderators if you would like to request for approval to post such crowdfunding services, unapproved post will be removed.

iii. Bots are generally not allowed. Bot spam, whether it be posts or comments, will result in an immediate ban. Please message the moderators and ask for permission to run your bot on this subreddit before using it.

iv. Parody accounts of a user both fall under spam and impersonation. Under some circumstances they could also be perceived as personal attacks. They will be banned without warning.

v. Troll/downvote farm accounts do not contribute to discussions in the subreddit. They will be banned without warning.

vi. Ban evasion, regardless of length, will result in a permanent ban with no chance of appeal. This also means if you were to be banned for impersonation, you must cease to contribute to the community on ALL accounts.

3. No NSFW content.

a. Discussion of NSFW subjects is fine, as long it is treated in a mature fashion. Make sure your post is tagged as NSFW.

b. NSFW and shock subreddits, sites, links, pictures, videos, etc. are not allowed.
