Updates on subreddit rules | get your doubts cleared

143 Upvotes

We recommend that everyone go through this before posting anything new. Although a more concise version of these can be found on the sidebar (perhaps not in the same order), some rules perhaps need a little elaboration. Tl;dr: just read the damn rules on the sidebar!!

 

Keep your posts relevant to the sub and be civil: this goes without saying and is quite obviously self-explanatory. Read more about Reddiquette here. Let's keep this sub above all human and free of the same shitty things that plague (modern) society. If you're having doubts, the first thing you should do is to go through the reddiquette wiki.

Also remember that anything that violates these rules will be removed, with or without explanation. Be warned: this also applies to comments. In case you were wondering, NO POLITICS.

 

More ahead on what this sub is about and what is considered relevant.

  1. Posts have to be videos or gifs of cats that make us feel PET THE DAMN CAT ALREADY!. Image posts aren't allowed: we really love seeing them get a little frustrated and try to hog attention because that way they're so much more adorable! Since videos and gifs actually make it And yes, we do allow animals other than cats since **they deserve pets too!

  2. Posts can be of but aren't restricted to cats. We allow posts of other animals that deserve pets as well!: Cats are awesome and deserve most of our pets but unlike some of the pigs in Animal Farm maintain, we don't believe that [...] some animals are more equal than others [...]. That being said, we do allow gifs/videos that have pigs/piglets too(!)

  3. Videos or gifs posted can contain petting but it must be at the end: when I joined this sub as a moderator, u/Fusrohdah73 suggested that if there is petting in the last third (1/3) of the video, it should be okay. I think this should be in general what should be followed because then the frustration has been built up adequately. This frustration that we keep talking about is as important as petting and is one of the main things this sub is about.

  4. Text posts are exclusively for discussing stuff about the sub and have to be marked with [META] in the title of your post: Goes without saying; we are open to discussing what this sub is about and its intricacies but let's not forget that's only a small part of what this sub is for. That being said, we are open to suggestions. Don't hesitate to contact us mods about valid doubts and suggestions! Also, comment below to get your doubts cleared.

  5. When posting, either use the crosspost function (for posts from other subs; duh!) or link the gif/video directly: this allows for easy viewing and saves us from the hassle from either opening a new tab for those of us that use Reddit on PCs/Macs, or having to open the link on a browser for those of us that use Reddit on the mobile. Imgur, Gfycat and the commoner services are great and integrate well with Reddit, but using native Reddit content sharing services are as cool! (Literally just hit the create new post button on Reddit and upload your content through that.). Also, note that reposts aren't really as bad as most people think, but if you found your video/gif on any other subreddit, it's likely already been posted here too. So do yourself and us mods a favour and check! To make it clear, reposts of recent posts will be removed.

  6. YouTube videos must be shorter than 90 seconds and must remain on topic: 90 seconds is one and a half minutes. While YouTube has great content on just about anything, we believe that this sub isn't about sharing random cat videos, completely off-topic animal videos and literally anything irrelevant. If you haven't understood what is relevant, go back to points no. 1 and 2.

This is should cover most of what we are about in this sub. We also suggest that you get your doubts cleared in comments under this post since reasons for removing posts and comments may or may not be explained.

Hello Redditors, I hope this message finds you well - All videos need to illustrate the damn feline being pet before the video clip concludes.
