Visiting Boston?
We get a lot of posts asking about visiting Boston... welcome! We ask that you do some research before posting in /r/Boston.
Where's my post?
If your post doesn't show up, it may be for several reasons:
Is your account new? Do you have zero or negative comment karma? Are you posting links to Facebook, Crowdfunding sites or using a URL shortener? Did you not read the rules in the sidebar before posting?
Did you post a question? We're trying to get most questions into a compiled Q&A thread. Please post questions there.
If one or more of these things is true, your post was likely removed by Automoderator, reddit's helper bot for moderating communities.
Please take steps to fix the problem (raise your karma, age your account, remove your links to Facebook), and then contact the moderators. Include the word 'alkaline' in your message so we know you actually read this.
Journalists!
Please see this before you post
We have a couple of basic rules that extend beyond reddiquette.
- Please flag your NSFW posts!
- Identify specifically where you are talking about in your post
- No memes, image macros or rage comics. Clarification: this includes adbusting, manipulated images, etc. If you're posting any images, please post a direct link to the image file.
- Please don't harrass other users. If someone is harrassing you in a thread, tell the mods
. If someone is harrassing you in private, tell the admins
- No links/URLs (including workarounds) to sites that require an account (i.e. Facebook) -- even if your content is public, much of it isn't.
- No links to crowdfunding websites. advertise!
- No coupons, referral programs, etc.
- No URL shorteners, including wp.me, bit.ly, goo.gl.
- Urgent spam filter requests: Message the mods and include link
- Please submit the original article. Spamblog submissions are subject to removal and readers are encouraged to report them.
- Posts related to the video game are encouraged to be posted in /r/falloutboston instead.
Problem with your post? (Please note we cannot edit your post title) Message the moderators.
Moderation is a volunteer task and like many local reddits, we deal with a high amount of spam. We ask that you message the moderators with any requests, but please note that we sometimes miss things and if you don't hear from us, it's okay to message us again a few days later. Repeatedly messaging the moderators or acting hostile toward moderators is not welcome. We are limited in the tools and resources we have available to us. Be nice, don't be a spammer and try to follow the rules.

Sticking posts
We have the ability to make two self/text posts visible at the top of /r/Boston. Generally we'll use it to highlight another post that's important, funny, or just needs some more eyeballs. It won't rotate much, but you can click the 'hide' link to make it vanish if you like.
