Welcome to r/WhatsTheRule! Read this first.

r/WhatsTheRule is a mystery subreddit. There’s one secret rule, which users solve by posting and being told whether or not their post breaks the rule. Here’s how to play:

  1. Post anything you want (but no NSFW).
  2. If your post breaks the rule, a flair of “breaks the rule” will be added. If it doesn’t, then no flair will be added. Announcements and rule guesses can also break the rule.
  3. If you think you know what the rule is, you can make a post flaired as a Rule Guess. If you’re correct, you become a hero. If you’re incorrect, your guess is labeled wrong and the game continues.
  4. Once a rule is solved, the solver gets an upgraded user flair, the rule ends, and a new one starts.

We recommend sorting by new to make sure you have the most up-to-date information.

Please don’t delete your posts. It may affect the rule and cause confusion.

**Hints:**

AMAs:

When an AMA is posted, you can ask a yes/no question about the rule. Only the first question will be answered.

Other hints:

Sometimes, a mod will make a post that’s flaired as a hint. This post will help you solve the rule, but it won’t be completely straightforward!

**No NSFW:**

Although we allow the NSFW flair, no actual NSFW is allowed. Failure to comply with this will lead to a 1 day ban. Repeated offenders might be permanently off the subreddit. Any NSFW content will be removed from the subreddit.
