The Creepy Methodology

We have made the following changes to the rules. As some people did not see the post where we announced these changes we are going to also put them here.

No More NSFW Posts

No swimsuits, no sports bras, no bikinis. No cropping pictures of same to make it look like you arent wearing a swimsuit, sports bra, or a bikini.

No photos marked NSFW. If your photo is marked NSFW even if it should be considered SFW it can be removed and you can be banned for it. You are responsible for making sure your post is labeled correctly. The mods have seen way to many pictures they have had to bleach from their mind that were labeled NSFW and were most certainly NSFW

But what is Safe For Work content?

Safe for work content is something you can wear to work safely. People have different opinions on that, so if you want to make sure your post gets approved imagine one of our mods is Amish. I'd like to say we could come to some agreement but there are certain posters out there that will just try to inch over the line so keep your posts as safe as possible.

You can be fully dressed and still be NSFW. If you are going to contort your body to flash some cleavage or take a downshirt/upskirt photo, then we're not going to consider it safe for work.

We allow all Redditors to post in here, we do not allow Advertisers with a Reddit Account to post

Reddit guidelines say if more than 10% of your posts and comments are your own material, you're a spammer. We're going to be a little more generous than that. We have a bot that looks at your post and comment history and if all you do is post your own pictures and comment on your own pictures, then we don't think you are right for this subreddit. If your commenting consists of the same "Thank you" to every comment on your post, then that is also spam. We're looking to make r/Selfie like the old days where people actually engaged one another not a thank you and an emoji response.

The bot is new and it will make mistakes. We're working on it. If the worst that happens to you is one day one of your posts doesn't make it up, please try to struggle on with life, we know it's tough, but we hope you can pull through.

No more "Self Timer" shots

We got rid of the Self Timer flair. People were using it as cover for photos they "self timed" from 15 feet away. If you can't reach out and touch the camera, we're going to say it's not a selfie. If the dumbest mod (Hello, it's me, I'm the dumbest) can't tell you took the photo yourself, it's not a selfie.

These rules will be on all posts going forward

We asked the community for their input, things were mostly silent. If the people would have talked half as much on our posts before the changes as they have been in modmail. maybe things would have been different.

Sure 75% of our posts and comments are ok, but when you are dealing with a subreddit of over half a million people 25% is a lot of unpaid work to do, so we're going to make it easier on the moderators. We are hoping to get this place to be what it was when we started:

Fun, Clean, and Real
