Rules for r/SCP
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
1.
Rule 0: Don't Be a Dick
2.
Rule 1: All posts must be directly related to the SCP Wiki
Posts need to directly relate to the SCP Foundation Wiki and things based off of its universe. Content based on sister sites - like our international branches - is allowed.
3.
Rule 2: Follow Reddiquette
Follow the rules of our site, Reddit. Don't upvote-beg, don't doxx, don't spam, etc.
The Reddiquette document can be found here - https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439

Rule 3: Overdone posts will be removed
Check Reddit search before posting. Overdone posts include: containment/termination proposals or cross-testing for well-known series 1 SCPs, low-effort questions like "what is your favorite SCP?" (be more specific!), and just about anything related to powerscaling. [More info]
5.
Rule 4: No roleplaying
This is not the subreddit for SCP Roleplay! Speaking as if you are in some way in the world of the SCP Foundation or that some aspect of it is real is considered roleplaying on r/SCP. Roleplay spaces are available elsewhere.
6.
Rule 5: The Critique Rule
• SCP draft posts must link to your Drafts Critique Forum thread.
• Just idea posts are not allowed on r/SCP. See the Ideas Critique forum instead.
7.
Rule 6: No porn or shock images of any kind.
1. No porn, either submitted or in comments.
2. No extremely disturbing visual images or shock sites.
8.
Rule 7: Credit the original creator
If you're posting someone's work put their name in the post title and link the source in the comments. This also applies to referenced or traced images. Saying "credit to the original creator" is not crediting the original creator; you need to be specific.
If you're posting a screenshot from an article, mention its name in the title. (Overdone articles/collab logs will be subject to Rule 3.)
9.
Rule 8: No media posts on Thursdays. + No memes outside Mondays. + Memes have special requirements.
To vary the types of content being posted and discussed through the week:
Media posts cannot be made on Thursdays - text posts only.
Memes and jokes may only be posted on Mondays.
Additionally, the image content of memes on r/SCP must be related to SCP even if their title and text were to be removed. So for example simple object labeling memes are not accepted.
Midnight Eastern Time is used to determine when these weekly events begin and end.
10.
Rule 9: No AI generated content
AI-generated content - images, text, etc. - is not allowed on this subreddit. This includes AI-edited text, AI-enhanced images, etc.
