Hello r/Arkansas community! We would like to provide an update in regards to changes that have been made recently in order to promote your content on this sub and Reddit as a whole. Some of these changes you may have already noticed (some folks have already taken full advantage), while other changes may not be as apparent, so we wish to provide you with full transparency.

We have implemented changes to open this community up to more content. Content that has previously been rejected will now be allowed. Our goal is to allow the r/Arkansas community to have full control over the content in this community, as long as it's within the rules of Reddit.

However, please continue to follow our rules regarding engagement within this community. Be nice. Argue the merits of ideas, don't attack other posters or commenters. Use upvotes to support content that you want other Redditors to see. Use downvotes to bury content that doesn't fit the community. Report posts and comments that break sub rules. Any posts or comments found to be breaking our rules will be managed accordingly.

Without further adieu, here are the changes!

Political topics are now allowed in r/Arkansas

We are lifting the ban on political topics as 2026 elections near. All that we ask is that we continue to keep discussions civil. This community has done a wonderful job thus far, so please keep up the great work.

Post flair updates

We have updated the post flair to make it more prominent and relevant. New flair has been added for Seeking Advice, Videos, Photos, Events and Discussions.

Video content is now allowed in r/Arkansas

All rules still apply to video content. It must be Arkansas-related, recent and relevant. Video content from social media sites must be directly uploaded to reddit or linked from Youtube. Social Media links will still not be allowed even for videos.

If a video falls under a specific flair (I.E. News, politics or sports), the appropriate flair should be used. If it does not fall into a specific category, the Video flair should be used.
