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 have never seen so many downvoted comments in one thread.

Tips for new viewers of this thread:

  • No mention of hipsters
  • No mention of how cute the dog is
  • No mention of the physical appeal of the guy in the photo
  • No talking
  • Don't say anything
  • Just leave

This is my first "Successful" post, and I am amazed at all the "Comment below threshold" markers. What happened?

[–]stuffingisawesome 6 points7 points ago

Everyone gather round. Good ole Stuffingisawesome is going to tell you the tale of "Nancy Drew and the illusion of reddiquette".

Basically, when you see a comment that has already been obliterated by downvotes, you will most likely downvote as well because you are following the general consensus - regardless of whether or not you care. Then this happens to another post, and another. Soon, anything in the thread becomes fashionably downvoteable. It's like an elevator to hell and any comment posted is going along for the ride.

[–]Loki4089[S] 2 points3 points ago

well, it's ridiculous

[–]capoeirista13 1 point2 points ago

really though, what the fuck is going on here?

[–]LovelyPerv 11 points12 points ago

I suspect a lonely man and his 30 throwaways that keep him company.

[–]define_irony -1 points0 points ago

[–]paco_is_paco -1 points0 points ago

It even looks like he's shouting "DOWNVOTE!!!!"

[–]classy_motherfucker 5 points6 points ago

I upvoted every comment in this thread. Fuck the police.

[–]Stephiek -2 points-1 points ago

Your friend is very handsome

[–]Loki4089[S] 2 points3 points ago

Sorry for all the downvote's. I don't get it He is also a really nice guy.

[–]Stephiek 2 points3 points ago

It's ok. I can handle the downvotes! :)

[–]classical_6string -1 points0 points ago

Because its your fault?

[–]OneCello -5 points-4 points ago

In a drummer-for-an-indie-band kinda way.

[–]futsel -4 points-3 points ago

Huh...Didn't know Renly Baratheon liked dogs.

[–]Loki4089[S] 2 points3 points ago

HAHA, Renly, really? I'll let him know.

[–]futsel 1 point2 points ago

they do look alike, don't you think? :) for some reason I immediately thought of Renly when I saw that picture.

[–]wtrmlns_blwpps 1 point2 points ago

I have had a pretty rough week (and day), and this really made me smile! Thank you! Thank you! I love dogs. Here's my pup pup. She gets pretty sad when she realizes I'm going to work, but she makes me happy when I get home from my 45 min drive from work. =)

Yay puppies.

Edit: formatting

[–]figuratively_literal -1 points0 points ago

It's not a derp. It's a dog.

[–]Deaths_of_Kings -4 points-3 points ago

You know, I've seen a lot of derp in my day, and that is some high quality derp :-)

[–]defaultriches 0 points1 point ago

Chocolate labs are always seem to have the "Special" personalities.

[–]LovelyPerv 0 points1 point ago

I get it! It's opposite day! Whhhhheeee! swirls in down-votes

[–]gingerkitteh -1 points0 points ago

Sorry about all the shitty comments on this picture. This picture made my day though!

[–]Campfire_Ghost -2 points-1 points ago

Or is the derp holding you?

[–]deejay7220 -3 points-2 points ago
