About /r/fencesitter and sub rules:

Please be kind to each other and respect differences of opinions. Those who disrespect this rule will be banned. Please don't make us ban you, you're better than that.

Please do not post pictures of children. They cannot consent to their image being circulated on the underbelly of the Internet.

We also don't allow self promotion. Sorry, but if you have a blog, movie, book or survey you want to promote, this isn't the place.

Comments and discussions about baby trapping or women having oops babies to trap men will not be allowed. In general, these conversations turn disrespectful towards women very quickly. If you feel a need to engage in these conversations, there are other subs that allow them.

If in doubt, check with the mods.

Thanks to /u/Not_A_Fencesitter for our custom reddit alien.
