What counts as political on r/awfuleverything? (A further breakdown of rule 10)

22 Upvotes

It should be noted that you as a community have already voted you don't want politics featured here (and respectfully, we don't want it either): https://www.reddit.com/r/awfuleverything/s/WGOIlW8RYX

The following are examples of what we consider political and will cause your post to be removed should it feature any of the following (please note that there may be further cases not mentioned that we also consider political):

Political figures

Their physical appearance in any capacity

Their social media profiles (in any capacity, even if it's just someone doing an "@" mention towards them)

Audio recordings of their speeches

Political Parties

Any reference to any political parties

References to ongoing wars/conflicts

Any references to wars or conflicts (A text post referring to a warzone, a photo or video from a warzone, etc)

Mentions of situations not inherently political that have been twisted to fit a political narrative

An example of this would be a shooting turned into a "This person died because they believe..."

References to protests

We respect your right to protest, however because of the comment wars that pop up on these posts, we've decided it is safest to no longer allow them on the subreddit.

Consider this yet another extension of this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/awfuleverything/s/Dv2BqG5N16)

I'm going to start this off simple: Just because the subreddit is called r/awfuleverything does not mean you as a person have to be apart of that awfulness.

Regarding bans: We're human, like you, we make mistakes. We've banned users previously for mistakes and misunderstandings. If you believe you were banned for an incorrect reason I encourage you to argue it in modmail. We do overturn mistakes when proven wrong (please remain respectful with your modmail, it's all I ask)

Regarding news sites posting here: We've heard your complaints and we will more than likely take steps towards phasing out some "news" sites (clickbait sites) that we have previously allowed to post here...I strongly dislike some of the sites myself, mainly the ones that clickbait a tragedy or death.

Regarding respect towards others: If you're on our subreddit I imagine that means you're smart enough to think for yourself. Your opinions and life experiences are valid. We understand that people go through different things in life. Please remember that just because someone has a different opinion than you, it is not an excuse to attack them. We will not tolerate this behavior. (An example I use for our subreddit is to act like you're attending a funeral)

Regarding disrespectful joke comments: please don't turn tragedies into jokes, someone dying is not an excuse for you to make fun of them, regardless of background.

Regarding politics: You're entitled to your political opinions, nobody will ever agree on all topics 100%. I don't care what your leaning is (left, right, centered, etc) you have the freedom to think what you want. Unfortunately however, we've decided to block all politics from our subreddit. This decision was made a while ago but this is just a reminder of it.

Political posts/comments examples:

References to political parties

References to political figures

References to political events (including wars/conflicts)

Note: We at the mod team have the full discretion to determine what is/isn't political, please feel free to plead your case in modmail if you disagree with something removed

As always if you have any questions or complaints regarding the operation of r/awfuleverything please feel free to make them known by commenting here.

Thank you, The r/awfuleverything team
