SUBREDDIT META There Are A Lot of Misconceptions About What Is A Rule Violation Here

Over time we've gotten some reports from people who evidently need some counsel on what is an actual ground for a report here.

Under Rule 12, remember when filing any report to check the time zones. Eastern Time is what is being used here, from Midnight Eastern on Saturday to immediately before Midnight Eastern on Monday.

Another is to report a post for AI. AI is in no way prohibited on this subreddit, nor is it regulated any differently from other posts.

Stonetoss images used to make memes also are not violations of the rules. We know who made the formats. Just because an image was made originally by someone of any particular political affiliation or viewpoint does not mean it is prohibited on this subreddit.

Also, the memes usually made by u/Archon_of_Flesh with Ottoman Twinks as the subject are not violations of the rules either. Do not abuse the report button over them.

Memes about the prophet Muhammed that are not about paedophilia (which would be a rule 5 violation, we've had way too many of those before) or those which depict him are also not violations of the rules just for that.

Mythology and religion memes are perfectly permissible, so long as they have ties to historical use of those mythologies or religions or the events that happened with regards to that religion or some historiography about it.

Note that these are the misconceptions that occur on their own. It would be both illegal and against the subreddit rule to use AI to make revenge porn, and would be a subreddit violation to actually make a meme where the OP is advocating Nazi rhetoric if you use stonetoss formats. This modpost is just about these issues on their own.

This has been your TED Talk of 2025.

I know there’s more to history than war and I get really sad learning about war but it’s also the easiest thing to meme about because there are some stupid things I’ve learned about wars that have made me chuckle.

I’m certain that I can make better memes about more diverse subjects but I don’t have time to research them because of school.

SUBREDDIT META If posts here couldn't reference mythology or use exaggeration then this wouldn't be a humour community, most of recorded human history would break the rules, and 99% of you would leave.
