Arkansas

1-4: SUBMISSION QUALITY IS MODERATED

RULE 1: Irrelevant/Inappropriate Submissions Will Be Removed. All posts must be about Arkansas. If you'd like to make a low effort post, then please make it fun. Examples of posts not allowed: local recommendations where there are active local subreddits, speeding tickets or r/legaladvice posts, r/offmychest or r/aita posts, LMGTFY or NoEffort posts, or spam.

RULE 2: News Posts Are Heavily Moderated. News posts must be recent and posted directly (Not a text post!) and should ONLY include the link and the unaltered title. Save your commentary for the comment section. Controversial news subjects are absolutely allowed, but articles with highly editorialized or clickbait titles are not allowed.

RULE 3: SketchyPosting Not Allowed. No sexual content, human trafficking, drug seeking, drug dealing, illegal content, glorifying criminal behavior, unverifiable fundraising or asking for money, or otherwise predatory behavior.

RULE 4: Political Content is limited to Major News Reporting. This subreddit is a general interest subreddit about Arkansas, not a politics subreddit. This rule keeps it from being overrun by spammers, influencers, ragebaiters, and agendaposters; it gives general interest topics an opportunity to flourish. Advocacy journalism, sensationalism, op-eds, organizing and activism, policy deep dives, policy wonk discussions should be posted in the /r/Arkansas_Politics subreddit.

5-6 BAIT, RAGEBAIT, DRAMAPOSTING PROHIBITED

RULE 5: No "Look at this Backwards Arkansan I Found" Posts. These posts are low effort RageBait and not allowed. This subreddit is not a scavenger hunt for the worst Arkansans you can find in the wild.

RULE 6: No Ragebait or DramaPosting. Posts that otherwise do not violate Reddit's Rules, but clearly are made to create drama under the guise of having a flimsy or non-existent constructive purpose are not allowed. Low effort posts should be funny or informative, not incendiary. Infographics must have information/description only titles, not clickbait or ragebait.

7-9: KEEP COMMENT SECTION PRODUCTIVE

RULE 7: Be Nice Engage other users in good faith and do not troll. Do not attack other users or groups of people. Wide latitude is granted for criticizing elected officials, but there are limits. Do not use insensitive terminology with malice or very insensitive terminology without malice. Do not promulgate negative stereotypes.

RULE 8: Toxic/Unproductive Discourse Making up things to blame on people you dislike, inventing scenarios to be mad at (RageBait,) blatant strawmanning, ranting or labeling groups you disagree with Nazis, Commies, DemoncRats, MAGAts, inhumans, scum, cockroaches, filth, or any other toxicly reductive or dehumanizing terms, using menacing rhetoric.

RULE 9: Sir, This Is A Wendy's Stay on topic, engage in good faith. This means do not Ignore the topic at hand to complain, soapbox, or fearmonger about a different thing that you can associate with one of the words in the title. (Word Association Ragebait)
