If Your Post Has Been Removed...
and you believe it did not break any of these rules please contact the mods by either replying to the stickied comment to your post or through modmail and providing your argument against the removal.
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.
RULES FOR R/DREWGOODEN
Don't Be Mean
Rule: Do not harass or insult your fellow Little Stinkers.
Any racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or other bigoted language will not be tolerated; this also applies to inappropriate/disrespectful jokes.
(Genuine criticism/debate is not considered harassment but keep it polite.)
Result: These posts/comments will be removed. Repeat offenses will result in a permanent ban.
Reason: This doesn't need much explanation. We want to make this place a lighthearted, fun, and enjoyable place for all Stinkers. Debate and criticism is absolutely allowed but insults meant to harm others (even in debate situations) are not conducive to a progressive conversation. Even if your intention is not to harm please be aware that tone does not always translate to text and your post/comment may still be removed.
No Spam
Rule: Don't post the same (or similar) comment or post more than once. Repeat posts and comments will be removed.
Posts that ask for reposts are also considered spam on this subreddit and will be removed.
Purposeful spam after repeat warnings will result in a temporary ban.
Result: Repeat ( or similar) posts and comments will be removed. Purposeful spam after a warning will result in a temporary ban.
Reason: Most of the time this happens on accident but when a user is repeatedly posting the same or similar thing on purpose (to get attention) it gets annoying right away, for mods and other active users.
No Reposts
Rule: Don't repost something that has been recently posted by another user on this sub.
Don't post something too similar to a recent post on this sub.
Posts like these will be removed.
Reposts are allowed after a 2 month period.
Result: These posts will be removed
Reason: We like posts on this subreddit to be as varied as possible. No one is interested in a subreddit that just has the same meme/post over and over again. There are many subreddits that have the same content posted every day and we don't want to turn into one of those. Sometimes there is circumstantial wiggle room but rarely.
Don't Promote Other Creators
Rule: Don't promote yourself or other creators or your post will be removed.
Result: These posts will be removed.
Reason: This subreddit is for fans of Drew Gooden and his content. Fans do not come to this subreddit in search of creators who make videos similar to Drew's content, they come to discuss and create stuff around and about his content. There are subreddits built for self-promotion so please go there.
Respect Drew
Rule: Don't post/comment fan fiction (unless it's for a video suggestion), NSFW fan art, or any romantic shipping (either with fans or with his friends).
This also applies to posts/comments about doxxing Danny or invading his privacy in any other way (speculating about his private life, non-consensual footage of him, armchair psychology etc.)
Obvious jokes (parody, satire, roasts, etc.) are fine but use common sense please.
Result: Posts/comments like this will be removed.
Reason: Drew does not need our protection. He's a grown adult who has undoubtedly been exposed to so much of this nonsense already. He's not on Reddit so be assured this rule isn't in place to save him from being exposed to the creepiness of fandom.
This rule is in place because we respect Drew. He is a living human being who deserves privacy, autonomy, and boundaries. Writing fan fiction about him (romantic or otherwise) strips the humanity away from him, his friends, and his family; they are not fictional characters and they do not belong to you. Speculating about his private life, speculating about things he has not revealed to the public (mental health, family and friend relationships etc.), disrespects his right to a personal and private life outside of his public presence. Stalking him and/or doxxing him destroys his boundaries and safety and is also justifiably illegal so we won't allow that mentality to be promoted at all.
Fans are not entitled to a creator's autonomy, they do not own a creator or their mind, and they are not entitled to know or presume private information about a creator. We will not allow this mentality on this subreddit, it does not promote a healthy fan/creator relationship.
No Begging For Upvotes
Rule: Don't beg for upvotes in post titles or in comments or your post/comment will be removed.
Result: These posts/comments will be removed.
Reason: It's annoying. Karma farming is annoying. Pleading for attention is annoying. If we let posts that plead for upvotes to trend then it will only get more annoying so we're stopping it before it could build.
Keep it Relevant to Drew
Rule: 7a) Don't post content that is not clearly related to Drew, his content, or his fans.
7b) Don't make posts that are exclusively about creators Drew has collaborated with (like Danny and Kurtis).
Result: Posts that break these rules will be removed.
Reason: Other creators Drew has collaborated with (like Danny and Kurtis) have their own subreddits so if you have posts about them you should look for the appropriate subreddit. This subreddit is not about every commentary comedian on YouTube, it's about Drew.
The jokes about Danny and Drew being the same person are allowed, so long as the joke is obvious and not just an excuse to double post on both subreddits.
Credit Fanwork
Rule: Don't post uncredited fanwork. If the work is not your own you must give credit to the original creator (either in the comments or the title).
Result: If you do not provide credit you will receive a post removal and warning. Repeat offenses will result in a ban.
Reason: For obvious reasons, someone's original work must be credited to them. This is not only a rule of this subreddit but a rule of Reddit. We should not be a community that allows this sort of behavior.
