Welcome back everyone. Thank you for your patience as we made some changes to the subreddit.

We were contacted by Reddit about the state of this subreddit. The admins were open and honest with us about our performance as mods and their expectations of us and the sub moving forward. They welcomed any questions we had and clarified what content is allowed and what content is prohibited.

The mods of r/NSFL__ want to be open and direct about our expectations of the conduct and content of this sub moving forward, just as the admins were with us.

There will be a noticeable shift in what is and isn't allowed.

Prohibited content includes:

  • Murder or torture related content created by the perpetrators or their accomplices. This includes cartel content filmed by bystanders for dissemination. Most, if not all, cartel content will be removed.

  • Content produced by terrorist organizations for dissemination.

  • Graphic content of victims of mass killings.

  • Torture or abuse of animals.

  • Graphic images of children.

  • Self-harm and suicide footage.

  • Requests for violating content of any kind.

  • Any content that depicts someone harming another person or themselves.

Your eyes do not deceive you. No content that depicts someone harming another person or themselves.

No shootings, stabbings, beat downs, murders, attempted-murders, suicides, self-harm, self-cutting, or anything else you can think of.

Ask yourself, "Is there anyone being harmed in this footage by their own or someone else's hands?", if the answer is yes, you may not post.

What exactly can be posted then?

  • Injuries or deaths from: motor vehicle accidents, machine accidents, and work related accidents. Some examples include amusement park or performance related accidents (circus, music) resulting in death or serious injury.

  • Injuries or deaths from animal attacks.

  • Forensic science injury or death photographs, including death as a result of suicide.

  • Evidence and crime scene photographs, including death as a result of suicide.

  • Historical footage, such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

  • War footage not linked to any terrorist organization.

  • Aftermath footage of murders or suicides might be allowed depending on circumstances.

Extremely graphic, vulgar, or offensive content of any kind will be removed even if it falls under one of these categories.

We want to highlight some topics that will no longer be allowed in any form.

  1. Animal deaths or injuries. Even if the death or injury of the animal is natural, keep it off the sub. This includes anything science related, such as deceased animal or animal parts in a laboratory setting. The only allowable content including animals would be human injury or death as a result of animal attacks.

  2. Children. We will no longer allow forensic images, surgical procedures, or general injuries involving children even if they aren't graphic in nature.

Prohibited Conduct:

  • Racism

  • Sexism

  • Bigotry

  • Homophobia

  • Personal attacks, including name-calling.

  • Disparaging comments about locations (where people live), the subjects of the post, the OP, or other users.

Prohibited conduct may result in anything from a warning to permanent ban. We can't be as lenient as before. Just use common sense.

We understand all these changes will end up in a loss of members, but we have the best interest of the sub in mind. Reddit is allowing us to use their platform for this subreddit, so that means we must abide by their rules.

Most of us are here to understand the realities of the world, even if they are graphic at times. The reality here is, this subreddit has to change or we will be banned. And that's as graphic as it gets.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Sincerely,

r/NSFL__ Mod Team
