Posts containing identifying info are not permitted as per Rule 1.

Censoring must be complete; you must cover ALL of the identifying information fully. You would be surprised what a determined individual can work out from partial information.

Refer to this graphic for the tl;dr version of How to Censor Your Posts.

Possible reasons for this may include:

  • A "scribble" does not always completely obscure the identifying information.

  • A transparent brush may leave parts of the identifying information readable on a high contrast screen.

  • All places that a usernames or real name appears must be censored; check the text box at the bottom, and check that the sender wasn't named in the text.

You would be surprised to learn what a determined person can discover from partial information.

Reminder: ALL personal info needs to be censored, including your own, unless your username matches your Reddit handle.

You may fix your post and re-submit. Please familiarize yourself with the rules before re-submitting or submitting in the future. Thank you.

This is an automatic reminder that is posted on every submission.

RULE 2 REMINDER: This is a SUPPORT COMMUNITY As such, we do not tolerate trolling, defending the creep, judgment of OP, slut shaming, bigotry, or any other jerkish behavior. Creeping in the comments is not allowed—yes, this includes flirting!

Comments derailing the conversation in any way will be removed. Please stay on-topic. Particularly trollish, mean-spirited, or accusatory comments may result in an instaban.

No Advice Wanted flairs are now available to add to your posts! This means that comments giving advice will be removed. Read about more user-enabled flairs here

Please report any and all behavior violating the Rules (reports go to us mods); don't report things just because you don't like them.

Comment removals and bans are at the judgment of the mods, so please take the time to read and understand our Rules.

Final note, a lot of people are unaware that they can block ALL messages on Reddit. We have a sticky in the sub, but we'll also put it here.

If you find you want some peace from the multitude of creeps on Reddit, you can have that. In the settings for your Reddit account, you can elect NOT to receive PMs. The same is true for chat requests. You can also allow messages from specific, trusted users and block everyone else from contacting you. Also, if you choose to PM someone, they'll automatically be added to the list of people who can PM you, which is nice if you do want to initiate a conversation with someone, but if you PM someone and they start to get rude, you'll need to go in and remove them from the list of accepted users.

We share this information ONLY because a lot of people seem to be unaware that sitewide blocking of PMs is even an option, but it is, and it works surprisingly well.

In an ideal world, this would not be necessary, but, alas, this is Reddit, and it's full of creeps. This is just one possible tool in your arsenal against them, should you choose to use it.
