For stories that are so mind-blowingly ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an Onion story.

Welcome to r/NotTheOnion!

I want to keep moderation to a minimum and let the community upvote and downvote. However, every community needs guidelines to help ensure things don't get out of hand. On the other hand, your feedback is always welcome!

Rules:

I want to keep things open. However, two situations bear extra thinking before you submit:

1. NSFW/NSFL: At a bare minimum TAG THIS STUFF! Please remember that many workplaces frown on nudity, or even bathing suits. Gore should really not be posted... Maybe you want r/WTF instead.

2. If it's political: Consider very carefully. Are you rooting for the same team that's being belittled? You might be okay posting it. Are you making fun of the other team? It may still be appropriate, but consider: The more partisan the issue, the less likely you should post it.

Reddit is strongly liberal, so I expect to see more conservative-bashing posts by sheer numbers; but please, bear this trend in mind, and let's not make it uncomfortable for our political 'minorities'. This should be a funny and ironic and sad space, not one that makes anyone feel attacked.

Again, your feedback is appreciated. I'll try to make as many happy with the subreddit as I can, while generally doing what I think is best - which I hope ends up being what's best. :)
