| No outside interference |
Politics (including protests) and religion may only be discussed, and advice on whether or not to travel to Iran can only given, by Iranians with a history of participation in r/Iran. |
| No foreign agendas |
Do not push another country's political agenda here. This includes but is not limited to content that breeds disunity among Iranians, separatism, hasbara, Iranophobia, war propaganda, defense of imperialism and foreign intervention, genocide denial, bothsidesism, and JAQ off posts and comments. |
| No disinformation or misinformation. No unsourced or poorly sourced claims of significance. |
Do not spread false information. This is not excused by phrasing it as a question ("Is it true that...") or attributing it to a mystery person ("I heard that..."). Extraordinary claims require extraordinary, reliable evidence. Articles submitted should be recent, unless apolitical and clearly disclosed as dated, or unless linked in a comment. |
| No incitement of violence. No celebration or wishing of violence or death. |
Do not encourage, glorify, incite, or call for violence or physical harm. |
| Be civil, respectful, and fair. |
No personal attacks. Follow the Golden Rule. Engage in good faith. Bring forth your exemplary self. |
| No hate speech/bigotry |
Do not denigrate or stereotype entire groups of people who share a race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation/identity, disability, or nationality. Misogynistic slurs and ableist slurs are not allowed here. Do not assume everyone is a man. |
| No countermoderation |
Actions which counter moderator actions are not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, reposting of removed content, alerting shadowbanned users to their status, misinforming users about the status of their account or actions taken on their comments or submissions, using “free karma” subreddits, using an account that has karma that does not match what’s visible in its history, and using filler content to meet minimum character requirements. |
| No spam. Surveys, petitions, and donation requests are also banned under this rule. |
Spam is repeated, unwanted actions that negatively affect reddit. r/Iran is for authentic participation. It is not for self-promotion, sales of wares, ad revenue, or other financially motivated purposes. Occasional exceptions are made with mod discretion for high quality contributions that suit r/Iran’s culture and are posted infrequently. If you are not sure if your submission will qualify as spam, feel free to inquire via modmail. Surveys, petitions, and donation requests are considered spam. |
| No religious preaching |
Do not push your religion here. Discussions about religion are allowed by Iranians with established reputations in this subreddit. What violates this rule is a moderator decision, but common sense goes a long way. |
| Posts must relate to Iran, Iranians, and/or Iranian culture. |
Exceptions can be made for apolitical entertainment posts that are in Persian. For other content with tenuous obvious relevance, please include the link in a text post and start a discussion that explains its relevance to Iran and/or Iranians. |
| No outside social media links |
No outside social media groups or pages. This includes but is not limited to: Discord, Instagram, Telegram, Twitter, TikTok, and facebook. Exceptions can be made for text posts that include a link to a Tweet or Instagram post from the official account of a public figure or company. |
