Welcome to /r/Politics! Please read the wiki before participating.
/r/Politics is the subreddit for current and explicitly political U.S. news.
|
|
| Be civil |
Treat others with basic decency. No personal attacks, hate-speech, flaming, baiting, trolling, witch-hunting, or unsubstantiated accusations. Threats of violence will result in a ban. More Info. |
| Do not post users' personal information. |
Users who violate this rule will be banned on sight. Witch-hunting and giving out private personal details of other people can result in unexpected and potentially serious consequences for the individual targeted. More Info. |
| Vote based on quality, not opinion. |
Political discussion requires varied opinions. Well written and interesting content can be worthwhile, even if you disagree with it. Downvote only if you think a comment/post does not contribute to the thread it is posted in or if it is off-topic in /r/politics. More Info. |
| Do not manipulate comments and posts via group voting. |
Manipulating comments and posts via group voting is against reddit TOS. More Info. |
| Use "no participation" links when linking to other subreddits. |
Please use np.reddit.com links if you wish to link threads found on /r/politics to an outside subreddit. More Info. |
|
|
| Articles must deal explicitly with US politics. |
See our on-topic statement here. |
| Articles must be published within the last 45 days. |
More Info. |
| Post titles must be exact headline and/or quotes. |
Your title should be comprised only of the copied and pasted headline of the article and/or exact quotes. The selection of quotes should reflect the article as a whole. More Info. |
| Submissions must be an original source. |
An article must contain significant analysis and original content--not just a few links of text among chunks of copy and pasted material. Content is considered rehosted when a publication takes the majority of their content from another website and reposts it in order to get the traffic and collect ad revenue. More Info. |
| Spam is bad! |
If 33% or more of your submissions are from a single website, you will be banned as a spammer. More Info. |
| Submissions must be articles, videos or sound clips. |
We disallow petitions, polls, personal blogs, satire, images, social media content (facebook, twitter, tumblr, LinkedIn, etc.), wikis, memes, and political advertisements. More info: Content type rules. |
| Do not use "BREAKING" or ALL CAPS in titles. |
The ALL CAPS and 'Breaking' rule is applied even when the actual title of the article is in all caps or contains the word 'Breaking'. This rule may be applied to other single word declarative and/or sensational expressions, such as 'EXCLUSIVE:' or 'HOT:'. More Info. |
| Self-Posts are allowed on Saturdays. |
Self posts must adhere to our on topic statement.. Meta posts (posts about /r/Politics and not the topic of politics) are not allowed. Please message the mods with your feedback about the subreddit. More Info. |
