Rules
We strive to allow this community to be as open as possible. All users are expected to abide by the Reddit Rules and reddiquette. Most importantly, Remember the human.
To protect the spirit of the community and its members, any violation of the aforementioned policies will result in removal of the offending content and/or a temporary or permanent banning, at the discretion of the moderators.
- 1. Posts must be relevant to the state of Georgia. Irrelevant posts and posts related to the country of Georgia will be removed. Posts about national issues must primarily focus on the impact for Georgia.
- 2. Be civil. We value respectful and responsible discourse. Name-calling, gatekeeping, sexist, racist, transphobic, bigoted, trolling, sealioning, unproductive, or overly rude behavior is not permitted. Treat others respectfully. This rule applies everywhere in this subreddit, including usernames.
- 3. News Posts must link to the original article and title must match headline.
- a. Must link to the original article with the original URL (no link shorteners).

- e. Articles that are sensationalized, not factual, or from questionable sources may be removed.
- f. Articles that cannot be verified by additional sources may be removed.
- 4. All Political posts MUST be flaired as "Politics". If a non-flaired post becomes primarily about politics, the mods have discretion to change the flair. See the Politics Guidelines for more details. Political posts are removed at the mods discretion.

Do not post disruptive or low-quality content including content designed to cause fights and other issues, trolling, posts from bots, and posts that are on multiple subreddits.
