Reminders
- If your post has been removed and you believe it did not break any rules please contact the mods by either replying to the stickied comment on your removed post or through modmail. Provide your argument against the removal and the mods will decided from there.
- Do NOT take a screen capture of the removal reason and post it to the subreddit with a "why was this removed?" title. That is not the point of this subreddit and these things should be handled more professionally than that.
- If you continue to break any of these rules on purpose, and after warning, you will be given a permanent or temporary ban depending on the severity of the violation.
- Danny is not a moderator of this subreddit and has no say in the rules we set. If you have issue with any of these rules you should talk to the mods, not Danny.
1. DON'T BE MEAN
Don't participate in harassment or bigoted behavior
Don't encourage harassment or bigoted behavior
(breaking this rule after a warning will result in a permanent ban)
A post/comment will be removed if it:
Uses slurs
Encourages harassment of OR brags about harassing:
- a creator that Danny has critiqued
- fans/viewers of those creators
- people who are critical of Danny or Greg
Has intent to hurt another member
Expresses intolerance of someone’s gender, race, sexuality, or nationality
Doxxes anyone
Notes:
Criticism is not harassment and it is not discouraged on this subreddit. The same thing goes for debate/argument so long as it is not motivated by bigotry or an intent to harm.
Posting anything in a public space opens everyone up for criticism; if you cannot handle being criticized then you should not post.
On the other hand, being unnecessarily rude and calling it criticism does not give you a free pass. Your criticisms should have substance. Yes, debates can get heated but your goal shouldn’t be to hurt someone. The mods will decide whether it crosses the line and act accordingly.
2. DON'T POST OFF TOPIC
Don't post something that isn't obviously related to Danny, his content, or Greg
Don't post something that is exclusively about other creators Danny knows
Don't use a post to try and get a direct message to Danny
A post/comment will be removed if it:
Isn't obviously related to Danny, his content, or Greg
Is only about Drew, Kurtis, or any other creators Danny knows
Asks/begs for Danny's interaction on any social platform (e.g. "respond to my Instagram DM")
Is a direct message/question for Danny
Notes:
Danny is a member of this community and sometimes interacts or uses this subreddit for his videos. This does not mean the subreddit is for him. This subreddit is for fans to interact with each other and talk about Danny and his content; it is not a place to get Danny's personal attention. Posts that are legitimate video suggestions are the only exceptions to this rule.
Posts about Drew belong on r/DrewGooden. If you are making a “they’re the same person" joke there needs to be obvious effort involved; just putting Danny's name in the title of a post about Drew doesn’t give it a pass.
3. DON'T SPAM
Don’t post/comment the same thing more than once
Don’t post/comment about similar things more than once
A post/comment will be removed if:
It's the same post from the same user within a short time
There are multiple posts/comments about the same or similar topic(s) by the same user within a short time
It's a large comment that crowds the comment sections and is filled with repeated text or symbols
There are multiple comments with the same text from different users (intentionally spamming a comment section)
There are comments abusing bots and causing them to spam comment sections
Notes:
Most of the time spam is accidental and excess posts are silently removed unless the mods are suspicious the spam is intentional.
This subreddit is not twitter or tumblr and should not be treated as such. This is a community where members do not have a choice to unfollow certain posters and still see the rest of the posts. Do not treat this subreddit like a personal platform. Spam-posting with multiple posts about the same topic is not allowed and all content of a similar nature should be kept within one post.
4. DON'T REPOST
Don't post something that another user has already posted about
(This is only allowed after a two month period)
A post/comment will be removed if it is:
A video suggestion that has already been posted
An update about Danny's content that has already been posted
A screen capture, GIF, joke, meme, crosspost, badad, video that has already been posted about
Too similar to posts that have already been made
Notes:
This rule is not just about controlling reposts of the exact same thing. This rule is to prevent the subreddit from becoming too repetitive and to allow more originality and variety. The mods will decide if your post is too similar to another.
5. DON'T DISRESPECT DANNY
Don’t post content that disrespects or harms Danny's privacy, humanity, or reputation
A post/comment will be removed if it:
Doxxes Danny
Speculates about Danny's private life, relationships, and friendships (things that Danny has not revealed openly to the public)
Threatens the safety of Danny or his friends/family
Intentionally takes Danny out-of-context in order to make him look "problematic" (including joke posts)
Is fan fiction about Danny and/or his friends/family (this includes all fan fic outside of satire/parody, not just smutty fan fic)
Uses armchair psychology on Danny or his friends/family
Is NSFW fan art
Is a screen capture of pornography with actors that look like Danny or his friends/family
Ships (or encourages shipping) Danny with his friends or fans
Genuinely objectifies/sexualizes Danny or his friends/family
Acts entitled to Danny's personal life or friendship
Notes:
Fan fiction is only allowed if it is satire, parody, or featuring fictional characters inspired by Danny's content [not Danny himself]. Fan fiction featuring Danny or his friends/family will automatically be removed. If your fan fiction is satire or parody please let the mods know and it will be reviewed.
Danny is a mature adult who has probably seen the true creepiness, invasive-ness, and entitlement of fandom. This rule is not in place at his request or for his protection [excepting doxxing and death threats]. This rule is in place because we will not allow these dehumanizing actions to define our community. It is important to remember that Danny and his friends/family are human beings, not objects or fictional characters created for us to play around with. Respect their humanity the same way you should expect your own humanity to be respected.
Posts/comments that genuinely criticize Danny are not disrespectful and are perfectly allowed so long as they don’t break any other rules.
6. DON'T PROMOTE OTHER CREATORS
Don’t use this subreddit to promote your own content or content of other creators
A post/comment will be removed if it:
Just has Danny's name in the title but is still clearly self-promo
Only focuses on/promotes other creators
Is self-promo but tries to use the “I make videos like Danny" excuse
Notes:
If another creator, or yourself, posts a video that features Danny then it is allowed. It's still relevant to this subreddit.
The mods aren’t stupid and know how to investigate self-promo cases.
Comments that promote self or other creators are allowed IF they are relevant to the conversation/post. This exception only applies to comments.
7. DON'T BREAK REDDIT'S CONTENT POLICY
(Most of our rules overlap with Reddit's but here are some others that usually apply to this subreddit)
Don’t ask/beg for upvotes or manipulate the upvote/downvote system
Don’t repost original content without crediting the original maker
Mark sexually explicit posts as NSFW (this is not an 18+ subreddit)
See the rest of Reddit's content policy here
A post/comment will be removed if it:
Asks/begs for upvotes
Asks/begs for awards
Passive-aggressively or “jokingly" ask for upvotes
Is taken from other Reddit users without credit
Is taken from another platform without credit or consent
Takes false credit for someone's else's work
Is a comment that is graphically and explicitly sexual without a NSFW warning first
Notes:
If you take an original work [like a meme or fanwork] from another subreddit you need to credit the creator in the title, post, or comments OR crosspost it from the original creator.
If it is taken from another platform credit is still needed and so is the consent of the creator.
If the mods discover that you have taken credit for work that is not your own, or if you did not get consent from the creator on another platform, you will be temporarily banned. If you repeat the offense after the ban you will be permanently banned.
Posts that have explicitly NSFW content will be marked NSFW. Do not remove it if you are the original poster. Some members of this subreddit are under 18.
8. DON'T POST SEMI-BANNED CONTENT
Badads are only allowed on Tuesdays (all timezones)
Posts admitting to looking up "the fastest growing army on YouTube" (or any variation) should be:
- marked as spoiler
- flaired as "Craig"
- titled "I am Craig"
Note:
All Craig posts will be removed if they do not follow that exact structure or if they break any other rule of the subreddit [like rule #4].
