Subreddit Rules
- Don't be a jerk: We value positive, respectful, and authentic discussions. Interactions that include personal attacks, bad-faith arguments, disruptive behavior, content that isn't yours to share, risks harm to yourself or others, and attempts to target individuals inside or outside the subreddit are not allowed.
- _Read our full [**Subreddit Rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/wiki/subreddit/rules) page for a detailed description and examples._
- Must be particularly relevant to RVA: Just because something happened in RVA doesn’t automatically mean it’s automatically relevant to the larger community. Otherwise, this would be a very noisy subreddit.
- Therefore, all individual posts should be particularly relevant to topics that impact or interest a broad portion of the RVA metro area.
- _Read our full [**Subreddit Rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/wiki/subreddit/rules) page for a detailed description and examples._
- Don't share or solicit private/personal info: Do not share or solicit an individual's private or personal information, even if they are not a Reddit user. If you wouldn’t want your private details shared, don’t share someone else’s.
- _Read our full [**Subreddit Rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/wiki/subreddit/rules) page for a detailed description and examples._
- Use the Buy/Sell/Trade thread: All posts for buying, selling, trading, giving away, or seeking paid/free products and services must go in the weekly Buy/Sell/Trade thread as comments.
- _Read our full [**Subreddit Rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/wiki/subreddit/rules) page for a detailed description and examples._
- No inflammatory or bigoted content: Our community is inclusive and values diverse perspectives. We seek understanding over exclusion. Inflammatory or bigoted content—whether explicit or through coded language ("dog whistles" or "Algospeak")—is not allowed.
- _Read our full [**Subreddit Rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/wiki/subreddit/rules) page for a detailed description and examples._
- Be authentic and consistent: Honesty and transparency are key to maintaining trust in the community. Do not impersonate others, manipulate discussions, or engage in deceptive behavior. Do not pass off AI-generated art as your own creative works in an attempt to profit from it.
- _Read our full [**Subreddit Rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/wiki/subreddit/rules) page for a detailed description and examples._
- Don't share or solicit dis/misinformation: Disinformation is false information spread with the intent to mislead. Misinformation is inaccurate or outdated information shared without malicious intent. Sharing dis/misinformation is prohibited as it can cause real-world harm, especially regarding public safety and critical infrastructure. Ensure that any claims you share are backed by credible sources.
- _Read our full [**Subreddit Rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/wiki/subreddit/rules) page for a detailed description and examples._
- Don't harass the moderators: We understand that not everyone will agree with every moderation action. However, attempting to pressure moderators into changing their behavior for your personal benefit is not allowed.
- Do not harass, intimidate, manipulate, mock, or shame moderators in posts, comments, screenshots, DMs, Modmail, or snipe at us from the “safe haven” of other subreddits.
- _Read our full [**Subreddit Rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/wiki/subreddit/rules) page for a detailed description and examples._
- Don't post prohibited/illegal content: While our moderation team is not affiliated with law enforcement, we are responsible for ensuring a safe and lawful community. Content that may put users at risk of legal trouble, fines, arrest, harm, or other repercussions will be removed.
- _Read our full [**Subreddit Rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/wiki/subreddit/rules) page for a detailed description and examples._
- Don't post recently-posted content: Be respectful of everyone’s time (including your own): always search the subreddit before posting, comment on recent/related posts instead of creating a new one, keep in mind older post discussions can still be largely accurate today, and do not make simple follow-up or reminder posts referencing very-recent posts.
- _Read our full [**Subreddit Rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/wiki/subreddit/rules) page for a detailed description and examples._
- No t-shirt, mug, poster, or sticker posts: To protect original artists and prevent scams, we do not allow posts about t-shirts, mugs, posters, stickers, or similar merchandise unless you are the original creator. These types of posts are often quickly found by bots and scammers, who quickly steal artwork and add counterfeit products to scam websites within hours.
- _Read our full [**Subreddit Rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/wiki/subreddit/rules) page for a detailed description and examples._
- No General Assembly posts: Due to the fast-paced nature of quickly-changing legislative developments, we generally do not allow posts about General Assembly activity unless the legislation has been passed and will have a significant and direct impact on the RVA metro region, or is sponsored by a representative whose district is within the RVA metro region.
- _Read our full [**Subreddit Rules**](https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/wiki/subreddit/rules) page for a detailed description and examples._
- Subject to moderator discretion: We’ve done our best to clearly lay out the rules in simple terms, but it's important to know that no list of rules can cover every possible case. Any content may be locked and/or removed and users may be temporarily/permanently banned, with or without prior warning or notice, based solely on a moderator's discretion.
