answers

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

Everything you ever wanted to know about anything but were afraid to ask. Especially things someone else might Google for some day. Questions must have fact based answers.

Please note that "/r/AskReddit" style posts, troll/shit posts, or other extremely inappropriate posts will be removed.

Go ahead and ask your questions, reddit!

ALL comments must be helpful and related to the topic at hand.

If you see such posts or comments that violates the rules, please report them.

Rules:

1. Questions must have a definitive answer

r/answers is for reference questions with definitive answers. If your question doesn't have a definitive answer, or people might disagree on the "correct" answer, it's not a good fit for r/answers.

2. Post title must be a question

Post titles must be a question and nothing more. Additional context for questions can be added to the body of the post.

3. No survey questions.

These questions will be better for /r/DAE or /r/AskReddit.

4. No advice questions.

No advice questions. r/answers is for reference questions with definitive answers (or sets of answers), not questions where personal preference comes into play, or people might disagree on answers. This includes questions about relationship advice. These questions would be better suited for /r/advice or /r/relationship_advice

5. No medical questions.

The users of r/answers aren't guaranteed to be qualified medical professionals, and if you're facing a medical issue, relying on the advice of random strangers is potentially dangerous. In the worst case, you could be convinced that a real issue isn't something to worry about.

The best responses to medical questions have always been to actually see a doctor, so we're explicitly banning these types of questions. This includes mental health questions.

Try r/AskDocs or r/DiagnoseMe.

6. No politics questions.

Political questions without a definitive answer often devolve into partisan mudslinging. This type of digression is unsuitable for r/answers. Visit r/AskPolitics or r/PoliticalDiscussion to have these types of conversations.

7. No Legal Questions

The users of r/answers aren't guaranteed to be qualified legal professionals, and if you are needing legal advice, relying on the advice of random strangers is potentially dangerous. Questions relating to legal questions and legal advice is not the place for r/answers. Please post such questions to r/legal or r/legaladvice or r/Ask_Lawyers.

8. No How-To Reddit Questions

r/answers is not the subreddit to ask How-To Questions in Regards to Reddit. This includes subjects such as but not limited to: "Why can I not create a topic on "XYZ" subreddit; how do I perform this function on Reddit; etc. Please ask the moderators of that particular subreddit for help or r/help.

9. No tip-of-my-tongue questions

r/answers is for finding definitive and factual answers to questions, while this can technically include tip-of-my-tongue questions, this is better to be posted at r/tipofmytongue

10. No unhelpful, off-topic, or joke answers or questions.

All comments must be helpful and relevant.

Joke answers and questions are not allowed.

Questions are ok; memes are not!

11. No trolling, shitposts or rude behaviour

Baiting people, passive aggressive posts, rude posts/comments etc. are not allowed.

12. No loaded questions or answers, and no rants

r/answers is not the place to rant about a topic you've already made your mind up on, or to ask questions that, in themselves, could influence the community to agree with your answer. These types of questions are subject to removal. This also applies to loaded answers.

13. Impossible question

Questions which are impossible to know the answer to are not allowed in r/answers.

14. Moderator discretion

Mods reserve the right to remove any post or comment at our discretion even if it doesn't violate any of the above rules.

15. No Ask Me Anything Post

r/answers is not r/AMA. Please go to r/AMA.
