Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

At this point I shouldn't be surprised that a subreddit for this exists. I'm more surprised that horses getting trapped in sewers or wells is that common of an occurrence.

Allow me to provide some historical context regarding its creation - it was not long after user-created subreddits were introduced, and reddit still had few enough users that the idea of highly specific subreddits still seemed somewhat comical (today, of course, subreddits about a single sports team, school, video game etc. can be quite active, but that was not yet the case back then). Also, it was a time when posts about American politics were everywhere - it took a huge backlash from other users to get them contained in r/politics to the degree they are now. More generally, older users were still vocally complaining about the ongoing conversion of reddit from a slashdot-type news for nerds site with r/progamming as a main subreddit, to a 4chan-like meme appreciation community centred on r/pics and the soon-to-be-prevalent r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu.

To conclude, posting a comment "belongs in the Sewer Horse subreddit" and following up with actually creating said subreddit was hilarious at the time, and worth hundreds of 2009 comment karma (due to karmic inflation, equivalent to perhaps a thousand of our modern karma). I believe this is the original thread.

Nice, I've only been here for a little more than a year and only really started following things regularly a couple months before the Great Digg Exodus of '10. Its always nice to get these little tidbits of site history.

Your "SOON" text is a little too subtle. Can you increase the font size by 300pts and bump up the drop shadow to 8000 pixels? kthx

I'd go as far to say it's the hate that's causing reddit to go down the shitter.

[–]pseudolobster -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thank you for saying this. People need to uphold at least some standard of quality, and it's getting harder and harder each day. Every single day, hundreds more people join this site, and the vast majority of them don't know shit about the internet, and they're retelling the jokes we started years ago. The site is quickly being overrun by mediocrity. Endless reposts, and youtube style comments are becoming the norm, and good original content and discussion is becoming scarce.

I've been a redditor for years. There has never been a single time people haven't seen this. You, we--we do not own reddit. People who are new to the internet are allowed to be here. If you do not like it, downvote it, but you have no rite to say that something that was upvoted shouldn't have been unless it violates the rules.

Yes, because every addicted redditor has only ONE account. I've been on here for years, most of my friends are, and even some relatives. If enough people haven't seen a repost, as long as the author isn't claiming it as its own, its a valid post in my opinion.
