So, in the brief history of this subreddit, some spam has managed to trickle through despite Reddit's and my own best efforts. To alleviate this in the future, here are some tips to help us maintain a fun and safe subreddit:

If a post sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Do not respond to any post that mentions Telegram, Discord or Snapchat in the title or in the body of the post. Please report those posts if you see them.

When responding to an ad, click on the user's name to look at their profile before responding. If their "cake day" is the date of the post and you see multiple posts across several subs, it's likely fake. Do not engage.

If you see a post with embedded QR codes in a posted image, please report those posts as they are likely malicious links.

Always take a moment to view a user's profile before engaging. Gauge what they want and if it matches with what you want.

If you post a personal ad of your own, I do ask that age, general location and gender be specified to help weed out the spammers.

​

I know that spammers are a part of internet culture and that we can't wholesale stop them but being aware of them will help to curb the issue. Thanks!
