We're doing our best! Also, there may still be occasional reposts in the upcoming weeks because our new moderators (including me) who haven't been moderating here long enough to recognize them all! Have a nice day!
I don't think that that can be generalized that easily. Take this post for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/AbruptChaos/comments/e41kxe/thank_you_father/. In my opinion this fits and is quite funny. I agree that some Video Game clips don't fit, but we're doing our best to remove those and keep the good ones :)
...neato?! I'm so confused. Maybe you're just making idle chat? But your comments read like some dire, cryptic warning. Or, hopefully, you're merely a contrarion.
Look...just tell me if I need to start buying canned goods and water by the pallet.
Thank you for this!!! I hate so much when there’s just one thing that happens in the last second. That’s not what this sub should be for. I think these clarifications help people see what might not be worth posting
Please enlighten me how to read this chart. Even if I try, I can’t figure out completely how to read it.
Is a submission suitable if all questions can be answered with yes? Definitely not.
Is a submission suitable if any question can be answered with yes? Probably not either, given that you don’t want the bottom question to be answered with no.
Is a submission suitable if all questions can be answered with no? Definitely not, given the top three questions.
Is a submission suitable if any question can be answered with no? Probably not, you won’t a repost to qualify the submission as suitable.
Should I read it as a flowchart? I really don’t know. And where does the truncated connector at the very bottom of the chart lead to?
It is disgusting, I’ve had the displeasure of seeing people die in increasingly brutal ways because of lack of enforcement. Absolutely no response from the mod team
This sub used to be great, now almost every post I can already see whats going to happen a good 5 seconds at least before it does.
Can't even sort by most upvoted posts either because somehow these posts still get upwards of 15k upvotes.
Shooting a gun and being shocked when a bullet fires is what some people on his sub seem to think fits the meaning of abrupt.
90% of all the videos posted show something that you can already expect the outcome just by watching the video, let alone reading the title that gives it away
Abrupt means sudden and unexpected, you can’t be posing videos of people setting off bombs and calling it abrupt chaos when it goes off.
Could we get a better definition of what chaos is? This is sub is quickly becoming just a duplicate of /r/unexpected.
Does this really count as chaotic?
If it wasn't staged, and also if itwasn't abrupt exclusively in the ending (when the guy is hit) it would be adequate for this sub. It's not chaos, just a homie making a dance out of nowhere, then chaos with the hit, but really meh
Can we PLEASE have something that tells us if it’s gross. Like abrupt puking or eating live bugs straight from the wall. I was not ready for that and almost recreated one of my favorite subreddits.
Can something be done about the vredditdownloader spam on a bunch of the posts. Its fucking annoying and maybe I missed the joke somewhere, but it's not really funny. I like reading comments and having to scroll through entire walls of spam is really getting old. I doubt I'm not the only one either.
3 months later and it seems nothing's changed, you can't even sort by top alltime because somehow these posts still get upvoted; I used to love this sub but now it feels like I have to scroll through hundreds of posts before I find a single decent one.
We're mostly talking about recent reposts (limit=2 months). Without such a rule you would just see the same couple of posts over and over again. There are definitely several posts you'll see that have already been on this sub, so don't worry :)
I’ve never been here before and I have no right to criticize but that point about chaos for the last seconds doesn’t really make sense when some of these videos and gifs are only a few seconds. I don’t really mind much and I don’t have a dog in this fight but I’m confused by that
Necroposting just to mini-rant that I think people think this is r/CrazyFuckingVideos and that they can just post whatever here. It needs to be BOTH of these:
ABRUPT
CHAOTIC
It cannot only be one of those, it must be both. Also no fight videos. The rule may be one of our newest rules, but it has been a rule for a long time now.
Hold on now, I thought the rule was that the chaos should be abrupt both ways, suddenly starting and having the video cut off before too long. I'm pretty sure that was one of the previous rules, right?
What do I do with these questions to find out if my submission fits this sub?:
* Do all questions have to be answered with yes?; or
* Do all questions have to be answered with no?; or
* Does one question have to be answered with yes?; or
* Does one question have to be answered with no?
Is there a particular order in the questions? Do I start at the top or at the bottom of the chart?
I saw one video of this sub and i subscribed. Then i was like....wait do even want to join this sub? Then i read this and it makes sense that i subbed to this subreddit
Stop blocking comments in AbruptChaos. How un chaotic. Why protect those who behave as such in your videos? No more blocking comments on posts. Chas is what we seek not that make me smile soft shit.
Wait, why does this image has items that I assume the answer needed is "yes" and some others that the answer should be "no"? It's kinda random and arbitrarily without as a "flowchart" eh.
This sub is so stupid lmao. I post something apparently already went viral on this sub earlier and it gets removed for “not being abrupt enough” hilarious. Once they removed fighting it wasn’t the same here. I get if it’s just fighting, but if something abrupt happens that leads to fighting or if the fight starts abrupt…come on now.
You forgot one "if you announce the chaos in the title, it is no longer abrupt"
Please make that a rule
We need the rule /r/unexpected has about don't spoil it in the title
[removed]
We're doing our best! Also, there may still be occasional reposts in the upcoming weeks because our new moderators (including me) who haven't been moderating here long enough to recognize them all! Have a nice day!
We have faith, please don't let the sub be trash karma farms like so many others! Good luck peeps :)
Happy Cake Day!
This would be better as a gif that had a dude crashing through it on a flaming skidoo.
You can always be that dude, film it and submit.. I'm waiting for it!
Don't suppose you could add "Video Game clips are not permitted" since the player is often controlling the outcome which means there is no chaos.
I don't think that that can be generalized that easily. Take this post for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/AbruptChaos/comments/e41kxe/thank_you_father/. In my opinion this fits and is quite funny. I agree that some Video Game clips don't fit, but we're doing our best to remove those and keep the good ones :)
Thank you for the reply. After seeing the one you linked I can appreciate your perspective on it.
Can't wait for everyone to ignore this.
3 months later and yep, seems like 80% of posters don't even read the first two.
Man, you should see the guide to /r/perfectlycutscreams, it's even sadder. Didn't even take a week before everyone ignored it
This sub used to be great, I remember finding it when it was much smaller there were so many great posts. I'll have to check that sub out lol.
It's not really worth it. It's just Tiktok videos and shit. A better name would be /r/somewhatcutyelpsandgrunts.
Ah fair enough.
Just like how this sub has become /r/somewheresomeonedoessomethinganditsabitodd
Pretty accurate.
Lmao Here. Xo
We've also added the AbruptChaosBot that helps us remove reposts more quickly and determine if posts fit the sub faster.
If there's a submission that doesn't fit, just downvote the stickied comment by the bot!
gum ball challenge kids and the flamethrower on the bus will be relieved to catch a break
You do realize that popular opinion and reality aren't always the same?
Wtf is this even supposed to mean?
It means that just because people agree on something doesn't mean they are right.
So we shouldn't even attempt quality control? Or are you genuinely asking the mod whether they understand the nature of democracy?
Like, it's kind of known that 'popular opinion' is not an immutable law of the universe. We do our best at QA regardless.
That's funny. Sure we can quality control all you want. But don't think you are assuring quality.
...neato?! I'm so confused. Maybe you're just making idle chat? But your comments read like some dire, cryptic warning. Or, hopefully, you're merely a contrarion.
Look...just tell me if I need to start buying canned goods and water by the pallet.
Happy cake day!
Nice 👍 I knew joining this was a good idea
I don't think that "visible for long enough" is a good rule. Some of the best posts in this sub only have chaos at the very end.
Wow what a horrible flowchart
very late to the game am I. But to your comment, came here looking, I did.
Not a flowchart, but yes, an absolutely terrible graphic presentation. The graphic layout does nothing to aide comprehension.
They forgot Exhibit A.
Thank you for this!!! I hate so much when there’s just one thing that happens in the last second. That’s not what this sub should be for. I think these clarifications help people see what might not be worth posting
This is a confusing ass flowchart
It's not a flowchart
Omg I Need Sleep. Lmao Here. Xo
what kind of chat is this? They could've just put texts
Si many Forget about the chaotic part, now there are many posts that can just fit in r/unexpected
Instructions like this need to be on more subs.
Please enlighten me how to read this chart. Even if I try, I can’t figure out completely how to read it.
I am at a loss.
Finally. It's about time something gets done on this sub. THANK YOU
Agreed--thanks Mods
This sub used to be fun. Now it's half NSFW videos and other half people getting burned...
agreed, I want to watch some unexpected chaos not people getting attacked, hurt, and/or the possibility of people getting killed
How about enforcing rule number 6, I just watched a man bleed to death from his neck on the front page because of this subreddit. It’s sickening
I keep reporting, reports keep getting ignored. It’s disgusting.
It is disgusting, I’ve had the displeasure of seeing people die in increasingly brutal ways because of lack of enforcement. Absolutely no response from the mod team
I feel like half of the posts here break at least one of these rules
This sub should seriously be renamed to gradual "chaos"
This sub used to be great, now almost every post I can already see whats going to happen a good 5 seconds at least before it does. Can't even sort by most upvoted posts either because somehow these posts still get upwards of 15k upvotes.
Yeah, and then the gradual chaos turns into such a letdown because it isn't even chaos! Just gradual inconveniences
Exactly
Nobody understands the meaning of abrupt.
Shooting a gun and being shocked when a bullet fires is what some people on his sub seem to think fits the meaning of abrupt.
90% of all the videos posted show something that you can already expect the outcome just by watching the video, let alone reading the title that gives it away
Abrupt means sudden and unexpected, you can’t be posing videos of people setting off bombs and calling it abrupt chaos when it goes off.
How about enforcing the rules you set? Half of the uploads here are not a fit for this sub.
cha·os/ˈkāˌäs/ 📷Learn to pronounce nounnoun: chaos; plural noun: chaoses
complete disorder and confusion.
syn·chro·nous/ˈsiNGkrənəs/ 📷Learn to pronounce adjectiveadjective: synchronous
This sub is turning into /r/publicfreakouts. Those videos don’t fit the spirit of the sub.
You're forgetting about how quickly the chaos unfolds, abrupt chaos has to be abrupt, things that slowly get chaotic don't fit the sub.
Could we get a better definition of what chaos is? This is sub is quickly becoming just a duplicate of /r/unexpected. Does this really count as chaotic?
If it wasn't staged, and also if itwasn't abrupt exclusively in the ending (when the guy is hit) it would be adequate for this sub. It's not chaos, just a homie making a dance out of nowhere, then chaos with the hit, but really meh
How about if you are unsure of the definition of chaos you just don’t post
Rule #6 doesn't appear to be respected in this sub. Report multiple posts and nothing.
I agree, I am subscribed specifically because of that rule. I want to see some crazy stuff and know everyone's fine. Not watching people die...
From now on, I am downvoting all clips that belong on r/fightporn.
Is your mom in the footage
I’m noticing we are getting a ton of posts with very little chaos, but people getting absolutely wrecked/injured/killed.
Can the mods do something before this sub turns into r/watchpeopledie?
Thank you so much we’ve been needing some more enforcement here.
Can we PLEASE have something that tells us if it’s gross. Like abrupt puking or eating live bugs straight from the wall. I was not ready for that and almost recreated one of my favorite subreddits.
Can something be done about the vredditdownloader spam on a bunch of the posts. Its fucking annoying and maybe I missed the joke somewhere, but it's not really funny. I like reading comments and having to scroll through entire walls of spam is really getting old. I doubt I'm not the only one either.
It's been fixed now! It's been set so those comments get deleted after a very short amount of time :)
Is this the grading rubric?
3 months later and it seems nothing's changed, you can't even sort by top alltime because somehow these posts still get upvoted; I used to love this sub but now it feels like I have to scroll through hundreds of posts before I find a single decent one.
Hey guys. Everyone's breaking your rules. Like I've seen several videos of legit death on here now have you given up?
You should include “does a woman get completely fucked up by a man, feeding the power fantasy of a bunch of incels?”
Is your post better suited for r/fightporn? Then yes, post it here.
Is there a chanse to ban fighting videos? Most of them are not abrupt or even chaotic.
I unsubscribed from this dumpster fire a couple of months ago, it's not surprising in the slightest that they're letting these slip through the cracks
i agree with all of this except the repost part. Some of us are NOT on Reddit 24/7 and miss some posts and appreciate it when I see one that I missed.
All it takes is a quick look through hot before posting, dont just blindly post and hope it's not been posted recently.
I strongly agree with this
We're mostly talking about recent reposts (limit=2 months). Without such a rule you would just see the same couple of posts over and over again. There are definitely several posts you'll see that have already been on this sub, so don't worry :)
I appreciate the effort to improve the sub! It feels like the quality of the co tent here has been steadily going down over the last six months or so.
“Is it a repost?” 4 words redditors often don’t consider.
“Is it a repost.?” 4 words redditors often don’t consider.
Happy cake day!
Thank you so much! Didn't even notice haha
Thank goodness. Im so sick of seeing cats falling off beds. That is not chaotic presented abruptly.
I’ve never been here before and I have no right to criticize but that point about chaos for the last seconds doesn’t really make sense when some of these videos and gifs are only a few seconds. I don’t really mind much and I don’t have a dog in this fight but I’m confused by that
here’s an idea for a rule: is it anything other than an Electroboom clip?
Question 3 is trash, scrap it
This really helps... Every community should have something like this.
This is understandable
Your submission sucks
Beautiful chart. I wish every subreddit had one!
This is pretty organized considering this is about chaos
There needs to be one of these for every sub
Helpful rule template, clears it up a lot. Thanks!
El oh el
Can this diagram be stickied as a top comment in each post?
This is not abrupt chaos
Put this post as a comment on top of each thread. No one knows what this sub is about - just cross posts from perfectlycutscreams and publicfreakout
Necroposting just to mini-rant that I think people think this is r/CrazyFuckingVideos and that they can just post whatever here. It needs to be BOTH of these:
ABRUPT
CHAOTIC
It cannot only be one of those, it must be both. Also no fight videos. The rule may be one of our newest rules, but it has been a rule for a long time now.
The sub is still a mess
idk, you’re the mod! haha
Hold on now, I thought the rule was that the chaos should be abrupt both ways, suddenly starting and having the video cut off before too long. I'm pretty sure that was one of the previous rules, right?
u/VredditDownloader
This graphic is pure chaos.
Is it a violent crash?
r/extremecarcrashes
Are crossposts allowed? Are video game clips allowed?
r/coolguides
Idk
u/oceanchimp
Yes
Rules were meant to be broken
Also, and I'm not complaining with this one, half of the posts are cars crashing out of nowhere XD we should make a tag about it
Downvoted for being to organised
Que‽
Sorry this is too predictable, please don't post here again
He was late for work loll
This is so much better than reading the rules, awesome
Awesome
If you have to ask you'll never know
[removed]
No.
Sample test examples and check.
I really like this chart, could I download it, there's something that seems stoic about it .
I wish videos that are silent or have "funny" music or SFX dubbed in could be flagged, so I can skip those.
How do I stop this from constantly popping up when I click on a post?
Shit chart
Is this a compliant post? There is no chaos in the directions.. it had to be a chaotic image to be here..
But thanks..
This was much needed.
Ok, but this chart is just asking questions. Are the answers supposed to be all yes, all no, or each has a specific correct answer...?
Ki
u/azurepeak
And? It doesn’t say anywhere in the rules “not to give away what’s in the video in the title”, as your other comment mentioned.
You had me at is it a repost.
Please explain this chart. It is very necessary.
What do I do with these questions to find out if my submission fits this sub?: * Do all questions have to be answered with yes?; or * Do all questions have to be answered with no?; or * Does one question have to be answered with yes?; or * Does one question have to be answered with no?
Is there a particular order in the questions? Do I start at the top or at the bottom of the chart?
What do the ‘endpoints’ (the filled dots) mean?
Just activate this thing called Common Sense...
This technically just asks questions. It doesn't at any point inform which answers are correct???
I saw one video of this sub and i subscribed. Then i was like....wait do even want to join this sub? Then i read this and it makes sense that i subbed to this subreddit
Wild!
This flowchart seems antithetical to the fostering of chaos. But what do I know. I just got here.
So... should the answer to these questions all be "yes"?
It must be a repost?
This man is a hero.
Look at this. A sub that has distinct posting rules for everyone to see. I love it
Yep except they don’t enforce them
wheres the subreddit for the third part
R/tooktoomuchyoga
Here to say that mods locking video posts of obviously terrible things are bitches. Ban me. This sub and the mods are jokes
Stop blocking comments in AbruptChaos. How un chaotic. Why protect those who behave as such in your videos? No more blocking comments on posts. Chas is what we seek not that make me smile soft shit.
Wait, why does this image has items that I assume the answer needed is "yes" and some others that the answer should be "no"? It's kinda random and arbitrarily without as a "flowchart" eh.
How you guys have the time to produce this kind of thing?
Are you Nathan fielder? You'd love "The rehersal" he thinks like you do.
Nine of the chaos I experience is abrupt
Did it go 0-100, real quick?

'Is it abrupt? Is it chaotic? Is it a repost?'
My life in a nutshell.
TBH that Providence barfight video started in full swing but made up for the one rule violation with complete chaos.

Maybe

This sub is so stupid lmao. I post something apparently already went viral on this sub earlier and it gets removed for “not being abrupt enough” hilarious. Once they removed fighting it wasn’t the same here. I get if it’s just fighting, but if something abrupt happens that leads to fighting or if the fight starts abrupt…come on now.
This is dumb let people post things stop being a control freak
Is it planned chaos? The most popular I see on here.
So... If it checks all five boxes it's good to go? This can backfire with people who take this literary.
See this as a sort of guideline for submissions. This post should help you figure out if your post fits or why it may have been removed
So every submission should be a repost and should violate sub rules?
You're right I worded it a bit strange in my comment, I corrected it.
