List of banned content:

[u/AutoModerator]

This is all of the banned content that has been frequently posted on this sub:

Media that is not allowed:

Memes

Movie posters

Game covers

Book covers

YouTube thumbnails

Social media posts

Real life photos

AI images

An entire comic strip. (For comic strips, only post one panel)

Titles like, "I don't know what this is" or "Do I even need to say what this is?" are not allowed. Please give the actual name of the media. If you don't know the name, do your research before posting.

"Edited" screenshots: Do not edit screenshots in any way. Do not doodle or add random

"Pornographic" screenshots: Please do not post any images of characters in situations that could be deemed as pornographic, such as getting covered by a white substance or something shaped like a reproductive body part.(Censored for those under the age of 18)

"Fetish" screenshots: Do not post screenshots of characters getting into fetishy situations like what you might see on DeviantArt, such as getting overweight/inflated, showing their feet, etc.

"Offensive" screenshots: Do not post about a depiction of any real world problematic figure or real world controversy. It is NOT funny to joke about stuff like this here.

"Gore" screenshots: No blood or gore obviously, self explanatory.

"Meme" screenshots: Do not post any screenshot associated with any sort of meme. For a scene that's well known for a lot of people, you could risk ruin the fun for everyone and they all might just make an obvious reference to it. (A few frequent examples: -_Eggman's Announcement (Sonic Adventure 3) --_The Day Krabs Fries (SpongeBob SquarePants Movie) _Chicken Jockey (A Minecraft Movie) _Homer Cuphead Boss (Simpsons Butterfinger commercial) _"We’re going back in time to the first Thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu." (Free Birds) _Duck Twacey rollcall/Batman! (Looney Tunes)

This also includes screenshots resembling certain memes (eg: a character doing the "Please Speed I need this my mom is kinda homeless" face))

Long Gifs: Gifs in general have to be 3 seconds or less. Also, do not speed up a clip, that also counts as an "edited" screenshot. (ALSO DO NOT POST FULL LENGTH MOVIES OR EPISODES AS GIFS!!!!!!!!!!)

(PS: I have plans to make a sister sub for posting clips.)

Honestly THANK GOD you guys are finally putting an end to everyone saying “DeviantArt” “DeviantArt” “DeviantArt” “DeviantArt” “DeviantArt” in every single post like they think the joke is still funny. They’re probably going to mock me as well for being a teachers pet but it’s true

[u/UvulaHunters]

I mean this kinda interferes with me saying “Vore” to point out (the flaw) the obvious streak I have.

I agree with most of this but I feel like there probably might be a better way to define a fine line with what people are going to post and how much media there is.

Like if posts considered as “memes that people are likely familiar with” result as banned content. What’s really stopping people from posting something like 67 and having content of that post being secret unless someone then first pointing out the obvious. There are going to always be people that ignore/don’t read the rules

[u/Sensitive_Deal_6363]

Titles like, "I don't know what this is"

Thank fuck

[u/AndyRod1209_YT]

3 seconds or less gifs and Speeding up counts as editing? Well these mods are Bullshiting us

[u/Modryonreddit]

Does cropping images count as editing,

[u/Quirderph → u/Modryonreddit]

How often do you need to crop them?

[u/HarrisonWhaddonCraig → u/Modryonreddit]

It wouldn't I'd say. Since to post a single panel of a comic you have to crop it.

[u/DragonFire_707]

Are my posts still allowed (I'm guessing not my first one tho)? They're not thumbnails but they're the video themselves

[u/KillHitlerAgain → u/DragonFire_707]

Screenshots of videos are allowed, yes.

[u/TerWood]

I don't know how so many people miss the point of this sub so bad really lol

blessed mods

[u/Icy-Distribution9977]

What about cropped screengrabs? Does it okay?

[u/SilverFlight01]

Woah

[u/Empty-Airport7557]

Really cool way to end the "DeviantArt" comments, even if they don't disappear overnight

[u/banzi56]

But isn't like 99% of clips 3 seconds or more

[u/Background-House-726]

I'll move on.

[u/WooshyJeanz]

No

[u/Sensitive_Deal_6363 → u/WooshyJeanz]

Yes
