/r/mylittlepony Reddiquette Guide
Hello! The old post was archived, so here we are, reposting it.
This isn't a reminder or anything, we just need a non-archived thread to link to in the sidebar so that people can comment on our policies if they want!
1. Be respectful. Try not to alienate anyone specifically, nor groups of people. Avoid being a jerk, and give others the benefit of the doubt when commenting, tone is tough to convey via text. Ask yourself, what would Fluttershy do?
2. Reddit is a content aggregator. For submissions, upvote things you like, and downvote things you don't. This ensures the best content gets pushed to the front page. Never downvoting worked great when we had less than 5,000 members, but times have changed. For comments, avoid downvoting because you disagree with someone. Downvote comments if they either attack someone, or are not following the guidelines outlined here (namely rule 1).
3. It's fine to use out-of-sub emotes, but keep in mind that the majority of browsers do not have the scripts required because they do not know, or do not want to install them. As such, avoid "blank posting", or posting an out-of-sub emote without any other meaningful content (words or an in-sub emote) in the comment as well. If you don't know what an out-of-sub emote is, disregard this rule. If you want more info, see this page.
4. Before submitting something, make sure it hasn't been posted in the last 21 days by messaging /u/Searchbar_Trixie with a link to the proposed submission. Reposts more recent than 21 days will be removed.
5. When in doubt about if your submission is allowed, post it to the MLPLounge. Personal stories and anecdotes thrive there, and get a lot more attention. Additionally, If your post seems a little mature or borderline NSFW, post it to /r/MLPmature or other more appropriate subreddits. If the post isn't against the rules, feel free to post it in both. Exercise judgement here.
6. If possible, link directly to the source (deviantart, etc) when submitting posts. The artist will appreciate the credit. For deviantart, post using the "post to reddit" button, located on the right column of the deviantArt page, or simply copy the deviantART URL from your browser. The supplied fav.me links work, but are not compatible with RES; as such, they are not recommended. Also, please avoid hotlinking.
7. Avoid asking for upvotes, or the phrases "This will probably get downvoted, but..." and "This will probably get lost in the submissions of the new episode...", or any other variation. Let your post speak for itself.
8. Please use the report button if you believe a post is not appropriate for /r/mylittlepony. This lets the mods know very clearly that you would like someone to verify the post is appropriate. If a comment or post links something that's extremely NSFW, notify the moderators via modmail immediately. For comments, report when someone is being attacked personally, or NSFW links are being posted. Report blank posts if they are derailing threads, or being disruptive.
9. When discussing new episodes, please use spoiler tags until 48 hours after the episode has aired. See how here. Additionally, please avoid including the spoiler directly in the title, and remember that all content related to upcoming material must be tagged as well.
10. Encourage new members to read the sidebar and guidelines, and guide them in the right direction if they make a mistake. Ensure you do so in a respectful and kind way.
11. Avoid posting screenshots of the subreddit itself, including 'combo' posts, comments, or number of subscribers. If you do wish to link comments, link them directly. To showcase the best posts and threads of the subreddit, post to /r/bestofmlp.
12. Hostile arguments relating to any subject not concerned with MLP may be removed in their entirety. Such topics include but are not limited to politics, religion, gender wars, and racism. This subreddit remains a friendly place first and foremost, and people wishing to argue about irrelevant topics are encouraged to take their comments elsewhere.
13. Please do not respond to trolls; simply report them or modmail us. If we find a troll and remove it from the subreddit, we will also be removing any replies to it by normal users in order to make sure it stops there. Normal users will not be penalized for having their replies removed in this way.
14. Try not to flood the new queue with content. If you have a lot of submissions you would like to post at once, consider either spreading them out over a longer period of time or posting a self-post with several links so as to not push other new submissions down the new queue where their visibility declines.
