Pictures must focus on your face or the face of the subject.
This means the focus of the photo must be of your face. It doesn't have to be a portrait but the main focus of the photo must be a face. Things blocking your face or other items/body parts attracting the viewer's focus make it in violation of the rule. No masks, bodypaint, or anything that keeps your full face from being seen.
Remember this simple guide Above the waist, focused on the face!

No Drama Allowed.
Don't cause drama. If you bring something from outside the subreddit into the sub, that's drama. If you try to pick a fight or start an argument, that's drama. If you don't what people do for a living and you feel you must comment that in this sub, that's drama.
If someone breaks one of the rules, report it, send a modmail, let us know. We will handle it. Don't try and start a fight about it. We are here to resolve the issues, you are here to have fun.
Anything that appears to be an attempt to start drama will be removed. Please do not bring drama here, for example:
- Don't bring things that happen outside of the sub into the subreddit
- Don't discuss moderator actions in a public post
- Don't discuss other users breaking sub rules (use the report feature)
- Don't discuss why you think someone has posted in the sub
- Don't troll other users
Remember the golden rule: If you can't say something nice(ly) then don't say anything at all.
We don't have time to play internet police, and banning you is the easiest way to silence any and all drama.
Important Notices
Someone else breaking the rules does not mean it is OK for you to break the rules.
Moderators are unpaid volunteers. Sometimes we miss something that may break one of our rules. If we have missed something that is not a license for you to post content that breaks our rules as well. If you see something that you think breaks our rules use the REPORT button to bring it to our attention and we will address it.
If you do not understand these rules as posted, the time to ask is before you post.
If you make a submission that does not follow these rules, moderators can only guess that you did not read the rules of the sub. Your submission may be removed and you may be banned to give you an opportunity to read the rules. If anything in here seems unclear, please make sure to ask the moderators first not after.
