Rules

These are strict rules that must be followed by all redditors at r/India. Repeat violators will be banned from r/India. Posts that do not follow these rules will be removed.

Submission Guidelines

  • We have broadly two types of submissions - Casual and Formal (Politics, Science & Technology, Finance & Business, Policy & Economy). In case of conflicts or grey areas, we will assume submissions to be Formal. As a thumb rule, Formal content would invite tighter checks.

  • URL Shorteners : We do not allow the use of URL shorteners.

  • Hate Speech : We do not allow hate promoting content which includes but not limited to racism, casteism and other similar variants. What is Hate Speech? Like a US Supreme Court justice once said, "We will know it, when we see it".

  • Self Posts : Self posts must carry a detailed statement of reasonable length

  • Old Content : Old submissions should be marked with an appropriate marker such as the Day, Month, Year of the submission

  • Vote Manipulation : It is against site-wide rules to engage in vote manipulation or brigading. NP links (np.reddit.com instead of www.reddit.com) is a way to help enforce reddit's rules and etiquette on voting. Please read more about the same on the No-Participation Wiki.

  • Reposts : Threads linking to the same news from different sources submitted within a certain time window (depending on the popularity of the news) will be treated as reposts. These reposts would be deleted and the posters would be directed to the oldest thread on the topic. Furthermore, reactions to news stories should go as comments in the thread discussing that story, not in a new thread.

Submission Language

  • All submissions and their titles should be in English. If a non English submission has to be made, the OP must post a translated English title and provide the full translation [Not gist] in a comment form or in the body of the self post.

  • You are free to comment in any language. However, please use this and try to provide translation to your comments if they are in a language other than English.

About India

  • All submissions should be ABOUT India(ns) and should be clear without relying on the title.
  • The central topic of any submission must be India(ns). For example, a post about Oxygen is relevant to India but not ABOUT India

Personally Identifiable Information

  • We do not allow any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to be posted.

    • PII includes but not limited to e-mail address, full or partial name and phone number
    • All information not in Public Domain is by default considered to attract PII scrutiny
    • Misconceptions about Public Domain
    • Publicly available information could also contain PII. For example, Facebook "Public" Posts and other similar variants are considered to contain PII even though publicly available.
    • Content in Public Domain may be exempt from PII rules. Example, e-mail addresses of publicly elected representatives or similar variants
    • Note on Twitter : Verified Personal Accounts on Twitter will also be considered PII

No Self Promotion, Porn, Meta, Witch Hunt, Illegal Content

  • Self Promotion : We do not allow Self Promotion. Please refer to Reddit Guidelines on Self-Promotion. We may tolerate occasional self-promotion with a 1:10 ratio viz. every ten comments you may make 1 self promotion.
  • Porn : We do not tolerate sexual or pornographic content. NSFW/NSFL should be marked as such
  • Meta : We do not allow meta (self-referential) submissions or comments. This includes but not limited to comments about moderation or the sub-reddit. Please bring suggestions on modmail.
  • Witch Hunts : We do not allow targeting or harassing other users.
  • Miscellaneous Illegal : We will remove illegal content from the sub-reddit.

Reputed and Verified Content

  • We expect all submissions to be from reputed and verified sources
  • What is a verified and reputed content?
    • Long form articles take precedence over tweets
    • Established media websites including organizational (non-personal) Twitter accounts which are marked Verified
    • Images, Videos should also be posted from reputed media sources and organizations

Original Title

  • All links (articles, images or infographics) should contain its original title (and/or subtitle).
  • An original title (and/or subtitle) is the one given by the content creator.
  • All re-hosted content with a different title would be considered to be a non-original title. For example, if someone clipped a part of an original YouTube video with title X and hosted a new video with title X1 - we consider the new title X1 as a non-original title.
  • If a submission which has no title, you should make a self post with an accurate description of the content

Today I Learned (TIL)

Comment Moderation

  • New screen names will face reasonable restrictions on comments. These restrictions are based on multiple factors and will be revisited from time to time. In the meanwhile, we encourage you to participate on other threads.

  • Moderators may remove any comment which is detrimental to the discussion

Post Flairs

  • Since /r/india generates a lot of activity, the moderators introduced submission flairs and filters to enable ease of experience for users.

  • These flairs include (but are not limited to): Political, Non-Political, AskIndia, Reddiquette, Science & Technology, Policy & Economy, Finance & Business, Entertainment, Sports, Food and AMA. Explanations of each flairs are:

    • Political includes any post about politics in India, no exceptions. This could be a self or a link post.
    • Non-political includes any post that you do not feel is political in nature.
    • Reddiquette enforced posts will see heightened moderator activity and all low effort comments (jokes, slurs, flame bait, puns, ASCII and emoji spam, copy-pasta etc) will be removed without notice
    • AskIndia flairs are for questions you want to ask the general /r/india community that is not meta or trolling in nature. This is broad and can include relationship advise, technical advice, career advice and educational advice.
    • Science & Technology flairs are for non-political posts with an explicit science or tech bent to them.
    • Policy & Economy is a flair introduced for submissions that may be political in nature but focus more on the policy and/or economy aspect of the issue at hand. For example, an analysis of the 2015 Union Budget would fit under Policy & Economy, though it is presented by a political party.
    • Finance & Business is a flair for submissions that are explicitly finance and/or business oriented. For example, this would include recent M&A activity involving Indian or Indian-owned companies. Essentially this flair would involve whatever you find in the "Business" section of a newspaper.
    • Entertainment is a non-political only flair that can include Indian commercials, excerpts and trailers from TV shows, movies and other pop culture, and comics. Piracy is discouraged. Political videos and cartoons must continue to follow the "self-submission with statements made by OP".
    • Sports and food are self explanatory flairs: you can post news about sports or have discussions about sports, and you can submit recipes or images of food that you have cooked.
    • AMA flair is reserved for OP's who verify their claims with the mod team. Otherwise they will be rewarded with the "Unverified" flair.
  • Submitters must tag their submission with any of the aforementioned categories. To tag your submission, please click the flair button below your submission after clicking submit. Please note that [R] tags will be still be applied by Automoderator and that submissions using the [R] tag should NOT be flaired by the submitter.

  • For topics that cover multiple domains (sports and politics, or technology and policy), it is recommended users choose the best-fitting flair for the topic at hand.

  • But if a user is found to be consistently not tagging their posts properly despite warnings then these posts will be removed from the pages of r/india till they are flaired. It is up to the submitter to make sure that their posts comply to the rules of /r/india.

  • The mods reserve the right to decide whether the tag is correctly applied. Users are requested to report untagged posts.

  • List of Mobile Flairs are as follows :

    • AskIndia: [Ask], [AS], [Askindia],[Help]
    • Sports: [SP]
    • Technology: [TECH],[TE]
    • Food: [FO], [Food]
    • Non-Political: [NP], [Non-Political]
    • Politics: [P], [Politics]

IAMA

  • r/india welcomes IAMA submissions.

  • Non verified IAMAs will be accompanied by a mod comment alerting the community about the lack of verification.

  • Once the OP has provided significant proof, this statement shall be withdrawn with a 'confirmed' or similar comment.

  • Please message the mods if you wish to verify your IAMA. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

Moderator Help

  • Occasionally submissions are caught in the spam filter. If a post does not appear, message the moderators so we can rescue it from the spam filter.

Banning & Content Removal

  • Users who repeatedly abuse the /r/India rules will be banned. Repeat offenders lose their right to appeal a ban. Ban evasion will lead to admin punishments.

  • Novelty accounts and accounts made solely for the purpose of mocking other active users will be banned.

  • Mods reserve the right to remove content or restrict user's posting privileges as necessary if it is deemed detrimental to the subreddit or to the experience of others.
