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.

If you cancel the pageload after the Wiki Entry has clearly been loaded, there's no redirect to the Blackout explanation.

[–]Ecaftar 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I kept trying to refresh the page every 0.5 sec to keep the page open... feel pretty stupid now...

[–]GhostedAccount -1 points0 points ago

Stop saying redirect. It is not a redirect. It is just an add covering the page put there with javascript.

[–]RupeyDoop 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

And so, it begins.

[–]manicleek 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No it's not, I'm reading it now in English

Edit: Javascript mustn't have loaded properly, down for me now.

[–]SkySilver 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, for how long?

[–]manicleek 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think it's 1pm it will go down here.

[–]SkySilver 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I meant for how long can you read it. For me it always blacks out after a few seconds.

[–]VS_portal 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm reading it in English too. If you run NoScript allow the Wiki Sites and the blackout page comes up.

I am a Chicagoan, who is up early for work, waiting in the break room before my shift starts, soaking up as much as possible before we enter the dark ages....

I'm about to go to bed in Australia, and I plan on sleeping through most of the blackout.

Is "an European" really how they say it over there (like an historic) or is that a mistake?

[–]MostDishonorable 1 point2 points ago

This needs to be discussed.

[–]Sember 5 points6 points ago

Huh? Are you implying that reddit is going to black out only for american users?

[–]cullen9 0 points1 point ago

As an American with a job that lasts until 8pm, I feel the same way.

A European* "euro" starts with a "y" sound like you or yew, and as we all know, we don't say "an yew".
