Trolling the mods, or pissing us off will result in us making fun of you and then banning you.Now that text posts gain karma again, the mods will be removing low-effort posts more frequently.Remember, moderation is always at the discretion of the moderators.Please use the 'Report' button if you see something that breaks the rules.Remember to include a link for quickest response.Message the mods if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.Do not in any way guess business names or solicit personal information in the comments.Posts with business names will be removed without warning.There's almost always a real business with that name somewhere. No clever hints as to where you work, just put: "Grocery, Apparel, Electronics, etc.".No personal info (your name, employer, or other identifiable qualities).Playing "Reddit Truth Police" is a good way to get yourself banned. If you find a story hard to believe, just vote and move on.
Please do not reply with "ThatHappened", etc. Swearing (in comments AND posts) should be limited as it results in spamfiltering. Absolutely no bigotry or hateful language. Don't be a jerk (singling out users, personal attacks or provocative language, picking fights, trolling, etc.). The TFR Not Wanted List expands upon our sidebar rules with examples and references. And remember, we always want to see more stories! Saying "Would you guys want to hear more?!" is kind of annoying. Meta posts are not allowed pm the mods instead.

No creeper, stalker or harassment stories. No derogatory representations of people. No workplace grievances or livejournaling. No flamebait or fighty hotbutton issue posts.
