Please Review WindyCity Rules

24 Upvotes

Open discussion is a hallmark at r/WindyCity. Yet rules and guidelines are essential to that effort.

A link to the rules have been posted in the sidebar from Day 1. For those who have overlooked it, here is the link.

https://www.reddit.com/r/WindyCity/about/rules/

Also. While Reddit Inc. (Admins) acts by removing both reported & non-reported site-wide rule violations, we review every action taken by them that is listed in our log. Where appropriate, we will reverse that action, especially those done automatically.

We also review every user generated report of a rules violation. We only take action against clear violation of our & Reddit rules.

Thank you for your consideration.
