TL;DR: We have rules; they're in the sidebar and in the "about" info. In brief, our rules are:
-
The "Play nice" rule
-
The "Keep jokes out of the top-level comments" rule
-
The "No establishing values or finding things" rule
-
The "We're not doctors" rule
-
The "You know what that is already, ask THOSE experts first please" rule
-
The "Don't encourage hurting people or animals" rule
-
NEW The "Use a descriptive title" rule
-
NEW The "Did you try to figure it yourself?" rule
-
NEW The "We only allow link posts, so use a good photo and add extra info in a comment" rule
As you can see, we've added a couple and modified a couple. Violations can result in a temporary ban. Egregious violations will result in a permanent ban. Please don't make us ban you.
These rules are important to help keep our community going. As you can see, there are only a few of us moderators here, so we can't catch everything immediately. When you see someone break a rule, it doesn't mean "They got away with it, so I should, too," it means we haven't gotten to it yet. Feel free to report it. Or better yet, if you've been around /r/whatisthis for a while and have a good posting/comment record here, join us as a mod. Just message us. We're growing here, and we can always use a hand.
