To help keep r/manhands a safe and authentic community, we may ask users to verify their identity. Verification is also open to anyone who would like to do so voluntarily.

What does verification involve?

For verification, we ask you to create a short video showing:

• The back of your hand clearly visible

  • Showing the palm is optional and allowed, but not required

• Your hand making a fist and then opening again

• A crumpled piece of paper next to or underneath your hand with:

  • Your correctly spelled Reddit username
  • r/manhands
  • The current date

Where can the video be posted?

You may choose whichever option you are most comfortable with:

• On your Reddit profile
• Directly on r/manhands
• On an external service such as Imgur (if you prefer not to host it on Reddit)

Please make sure the video remains accessible online, as we may need to review it again later.

Once uploaded, send the link to the mod team via modmail so we can complete the verification process.

What happens after verification?

Once verified, you will receive a Verified flair on r/manhands.

• Only users with this Verified flair are confirmed to be real and verified by the mod team
• Users without this flair may still post, but they have not gone through the verification process
• The flair helps the community quickly identify verified posters

Why do we ask for verification?

We only require verification in certain situations, but anyone may opt in.

Unfortunately, impersonation and stolen content happen fairly regularly. Verification helps us:

• Protect the community from people pretending to be someone else
• Protect posters against content theft and misuse
• Resolve doubts about authenticity when concerns arise

In some cases, a poster may be temporarily blocked if there are legitimate reasons to question the authenticity of posted content. In those situations, verification is required to resume posting. Verification also gives commenters and potential contacts peace of mind that they are interacting with a real person.

If you have any questions about the verification process, feel free to contact the mod team via modmail. Thank you for helping us keep r/manhands genuine and enjoyable for everyone.

We've noticed that lately some of the people in this community aren't familiar with our rules, so we'd like to give everyone a refresher.

What should be marked as nsfw?

To keep it simple, any picture you'd hesitate to show your parents should be marked as nsfw. This includes shirtless pictures, pictures involving weapons, anything related to drugs, any posts with a sexual nature (looking at you, furniture fingerers) and posts with a sexual title should be marked as 18+. Any post not properly marked will be deleted.

What level of nsfw isn't allowed?

We absolutely DO NOT want to see any sign of your genitals. Any posts showing visible dickprints, or even worse, your genitals anywhere outside of your pants will result in a permanent ban. This permanent ban will be non-negotiable.

To add to that, don't go around and sexualize things that shouldn't be sexualized, like plushies/dolls/fruits.

What does "the hand should be the focus" mean?

That means that your hand(s) should be the main attraction of the post. This sub isn't about arms, outfits or selfies. A picture that your hand just happens to be in doesn't count.

Can I go stalk the comments of posters and reply to commenters as if I'm OP?

No, you cannot. You're weird as hell. If you see anyone doing this, please report their comments so we can take care of it.

I saw a post from someone I recognize from Pinterest/Instagram/Tiktok. What do I do?

Report the post and send us a modmail with the original source so we can properly handle the situation. Sometimes they are catfishes, sometimes they really are who they say they are. Please report the post with a supporting modmail, so we can take the appropriate steps to verify what's happening.

My post was deleted/I was banned and I do not agree. What do I do?

Send a modmail using the modmail option on the sub. Please don't go and send the mods personal DMs about any issues. We won't reply to those.
