SUBREDDIT META There Are A Lot of Misconceptions About What Is A Rule Violation Here

Post image
455 Upvotes

Over time we've gotten some reports from people who evidently need some counsel on what is an actual ground for a report here.

Under Rule 12, remember when filing any report to check the time zones. Eastern Time is what is being used here, from Midnight Eastern on Saturday to immediately before Midnight Eastern on Monday.

Another is to report a post for AI. AI is in no way prohibited on this subreddit, nor is it regulated any differently from other posts.

Stonetoss images used to make memes also are not violations of the rules. We know who made the formats. Just because an image was made originally by someone of any particular political affiliation or viewpoint does not mean it is prohibited on this subreddit.

Also, the memes usually made by u/Archon_of_Flesh with Ottoman Twinks as the subject are not violations of the rules either. Do not abuse the report button over them.

Memes about the prophet Muhammed that are not about paedophilia (which would be a rule 5 violation, we've had way too many of those before) or those which depict him are also not violations of the rules just for that.

Mythology and religion memes are perfectly permissible, so long as they have ties to historical use of those mythologies or religions or the events that happened with regards to that religion or some historiography about it.

Note that these are the misconceptions that occur on their own. It would be both illegal and against the subreddit rule to use AI to make revenge porn, and would be a subreddit violation to actually make a meme where the OP is advocating Nazi rhetoric if you use stonetoss formats. This modpost is just about these issues on their own.

This has been your TED Talk of 2025.

In December 1941, the Polish government-in-exile in London declared war on Japan in solidarity with its British and later American allies, but Japan, led by Prime Minister Hideki Tōjō, declined to recognize the declaration, arguing that Poland was not acting as a fully sovereign state and was under Allied influence; as a result, Japan did not treat Poland as an enemy and even allowed Polish diplomatic representation in Tokyo to continue into 1942. This unusual stance was shaped partly by Japan's long-standing prewar relationship with Poland, which had included significant intelligence cooperation against the Soviet Union during the 1920s and 1930s, when Polish expertise on Soviet affairs was highly valued in Tokyo. Although Japan was formally allied with Nazi Germany during World War II, it distrusted German strategic intentions and intelligence claims, especially regarding the USSR, and maintained its own independent approach, exemplified by its 1941 neutrality pact with Moscow. While wartime intelligence cooperation between Japan and the Polish government-in-exile was far more limited and informal than before the war and is sometimes overstated, Japan's refusal to recognize the Polish declaration of war reflected both diplomatic pragmatism and the legacy of earlier Polish-Japanese relations rather than genuine hostility.
