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.

Repost...wait, do we still ignore it if they admit it in the title?

This is how I tank in World of Warcraft.

This hits home for me so hard. I was the victim of a reddit lynch mob this past week. That was me big time!

I love seeing the aftermath of these reddit lynch mobs, what happened with this mobbing in particular?

I'm the moderator of r/assistance. I have a few people who hate me because of my politics and how outspoken I am (do not like Ron Paul). And then some hate me for other reasons. I speak my mind.

Anyway a few of them started an attack on the assistance subreddit using an incident from over a year ago when someone scammed some people. The weak minds joined in and all of of sudden I was made out to be Satan for running a subreddit that helps people.

Quite an exhilarating experience. I've been trying to lose 10 lbs over the last two months. I managed to lose 5 in less than a week.

Did it get out of hand like people contacting you off of reddit or was it just a big heap of inbox hatemail?

Oh it was Armageddon. Posting personal information, making threats, saying I was everyone that ever got assistance with a fake username scamming people, major downvote brigades, attacking anyone who supported me, scared my mods away, and so many other fun things. Didn't get too much off reddit though.

It was an eye-opening experience to say the least. I learned a lot about how mobs and trolls operate. I would have never believed you last week if you told me this to be true. Today though I am a smarter and wiser man.

I've seen a couple of times redditors scrounge up personal information about people. I've always wondered what they could find out about me through my username but have been afraid to ask. Glad it's all over and while I'd like to say try not to take it too seriously it's hard not to when you have to actually address the issue somehow and people are making death threats.

Of course now it would be hilarious if you were to scam the fuck out of r/assistance.

Looking back on it all I see how I could have gotten away with murder if I just had that evil tendency in me. But when it comes to being a evil I would just suck. Maybe one of the reason I never lie is that I'm would be just so bad at doing it. Glad I don't have to worry about that. I'm just hopelessly honest. What can I say?

Better days ahead. :)
