We perhaps have more rules than many other subreddits, and we won't deny some of them are a little complex, so please make sure you read them before posting, commenting or reporting.

As a result we get a lot of reports on posts which are either wrong or fake (perhaps trolling). Whilst we do take reports seriously, a short message to the mods is the best way of complaining about any posts. Although we do read and check reports, we take the fact you're willing to put your name to a complaint more seriously than an anonymous report, and if the issue is serious and we're not to busy we'll respond to explain whatever decision we take (no guarantees about this!).

Green ticks by a post ✔ ...

...mean a moderator has already approved it, because they didn't spot anything wrong. If you think you noticed something the moderator didn't, you need to message them, because they'll probably ignore further reports.

Feel free to carry on sending reports about comments, we cannot police comments as seriously as posts but we are all too happy to give temporary or permanent bans to arseholes who decide it's okay not to read or follow our rules. It helps us take out any aggession 😠 we may feel from our real jobs.

We don't always remove posts/ comments that break rules...

... but warn the user not to repeat the mistake, or request them to edit their post, so don't be surprised if sometimes posts which break the rules don't always get removed. If you're familiar with football, think of this as moderators sometimes giving warnings and 'yellow cards' 🟨 rather than just 'red cards' 🟥

⏱ Be patient because...

...all mods are unpaid and do this in their spare time, so don't be surprised if it takes time to deal with an issue!
