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.

This is why reposts are a bad thing. With so many users, there will always be that one person who screams IF I HAVEN'T SEEN IT, IT'S NEW TO ME!

Like seriously, some of us don't like seeing the same shit over and over and over. If you want reposts, go make /r/reposts. That's surely a much better solution than someone making /r/originalcontent, seeing how that's what this subreddit, and reddit as a whole, once stood for.

How do you even check?

There have been thousands of pictures and probably millions of posts on reddit. Unless you spend your entire life on reddit, I do not see how you could check.

Also, given that the person didn't take the original picture from said source and re-upload it to imgur in order to get a new URL, Reddit recognizes URL's of submits and tells you not only that it was uploaded but when it was as well. I have had to not post things before because the box popped up saying it was already submitted.

[–]Geminii27 3 points4 points ago

I wonder how hard it would be to incorporate TinEye into submission checking?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

What kills me is that it still fucking got 2,420 upvotes. WTF people?? Same thing happens when people submit content that isn't theirs yet claiming it is. It still gets upvoted and then complained about.

I feel torn between scorn and pity for anyone who has never seen this - reposts of awesome things should get upvotes for awesomness, but RP should get shot down in comments for being a RP. That's why reddit works I suppose!

[–]kepleronlyknows 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You (and everyone) should check out the "top" posts of all time. Not only are they awesome, but you'd see that this image and a lot of other posts that get reposted are there.

Owlong did that take you to pull together??

[–]F4il3d 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I did not do it. All I did was to install the karma decay plugin ( I am already running grease monkey because I run RES ). The plug in creates a small "dup" button, when you see a picture you suspect of being a duplicate, just click on the dup button and it will take the URL of the picture and copy the picture internally then compare it to REDDIT, Tineye, and other databases and generate the result. It does the formatting as you saw it. All I did was to cut and paste it in the comment and added the comment that this was the most duplicated image I had seen. Click on the karmadecay link on the original message, it explains the whole process.

You're right, that is probably the sickest picture of an owl I will ever see in my life. I'm merely questioning the continued annoying trend to prefix titles of cool pictures with the entirely unnecessary word "just". I've seen it so much, it has become both meaningless and infuriating. Have some confidence, man, go straight up and proclaim that this is "The sickest picture of and owl you will ever see in your life"! See what a magnificent title that is for an equally magnificent picture? Continue on with your life and use this new-found knowledge to your advantage, and who knows? One day you too could be an owl.
