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.

I initially had this thought until I stopped and thought about the fact that, unless I tell people, they have no idea who I am.

The point is, say whatever you want, even if you contradict yourself. Do whatever. What's the worse that can happen? Someone just tears you a block of text putting you down? Just laugh and realized you made someone, a stranger, get so pissed off, and to care so much as to give his/her opinion on what you said.

Now in a small way you are not alone, someone cares.

Being ignorant is one thing, but being wilfully wrong about something just because you can get away with it seems stupid to me. That would make us worse than the Tea Baggers, at least they think they are right. Deliberately spreading or standing up for misinformation, or whatever it was that you realised you stated a contradiction, is bad karma.

I've watched like three episodes of Arrested Development. I've had the entire series on my hard drive for months, but I just have no desire to watch any more of it. It's not that it isn't funny or entertaining, I just really don't care to watch it for some reason.

This is the internet. There are millions of people online who would not only hate you if they got to know you, but would most likely stab you in the eye with a pen. But, there are also those who would agree with you, and possibly hot women who would give you blowjobs.

My advice: speak your peace and learn braille, because you can still get a good BJ when you're blind.

[–]Cruesome 2 points3 points ago

It's like anything else in life. Just post, and post and post and post. Post whenever you have an opinion on the topic. Get to where you can just say your mind when you feel like it. I make shitty posts that get downvoted into oblivion, and sometimes I get 397 upvotes with a single sentence.

Worst case scenario? "Oh no, people on the internet disagree with me!"

98% of everyone's posts are more or less rejects. if you doubt it, just click on everyone's usernames - i personally have about 4,000 duds and 10-11 gems. but when you wake up to see your karma shoot up from 11 to 371 overnight with that one random comment you didn't give a 2nd thought about, its totally worth it.

[–]notGivingAwayinfo 1 point2 points ago

All I got to say is, If you make an account, you can change reddit settings so when you click on links, they automatically boot up in new tabs. Rather than having to manually open in in a new tab. I know I am lazy as shit, but when u are browsing like an addict, it helps.

The fun of the internet is, unless you have one of those really memorable username, no one really cares who says what. I'm sure you've frequently seen people mistakenly getting mad at another commenter because they didn't bother reading the username before replying. That means no one really cares what you say, only what you say.

Please submit all 'Advice Animals' submissions to /r/AdviceAnimals.

[–]ImWittyNoSrsly 0 points1 point ago

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

I find it amusing that you accuse others of low quality, low content, repeating styled submissions when you yourself copy paste idiocy into the comments of every single one. People want this in /r/pics, or it WOULDN'T BE ON THE FRONT PAGE.

There are more people on this site that want these things in r/pics than the vocal minority who don't.

Get over yourself.

It's not exclusively reddit; it's an internet discussion thing. If you state a position, someone is going to try to find flaws in your argument. A lot of the time it just builds healthy discussion, but often it does get a little petty and you just gotta know what feedback is worth listening to and what should be ignored.

And always ignore the downvotes. They are going to happen no matter what.

1) A post w/ 50+% negative comments may still yield a positive karma of 70% or more. Somehow the negative comments will seem louder than the positive karma. Don't let the negative comments get you down. 2) Speling/grammar Nazis abound. These guys are just bitter b/c they have no friends and they're English degree didn't get them a job outside of the food service industry. Ignore them. Troll them. Your choice. 3) What are they gonna do, caps-lock you to death? Besides, online and anonymous is a pretty safe place from which to learn from social mistakes.

Rejection and acceptance are illusions. Life is completely and utterly yours. Others will lift or diminish you as they see fit in their own scope of the world. Maintain your awareness of your power and cultivate that. the rest is almost unimportant!
